The problem

There is an immense amount of plastic and other waste scattered around populous cities. Clean-up efforts by nonprofit organizations require a large number of volunteers and are inefficient because they must check and clean up large areas of the city.

Our solution

We are utilizing drones to scan urban areas for trash density, processing and storing the data on a server, and using an app to mark locations for volunteers and to track clean-up efforts.

How we built it

We have attached a flowchart in the project media detailing how the solution we built works.

What's next for CleanTech

  1. Testing of our drone data collection at high altitudes and speeds
  2. Building a larger model to more accurately detect a variety of pollution
  3. Integrate the data collection that currently runs on a phone connected to the drone into a programmable drone
