Inspiration

Bengaluru generates over 5,000 tones of waste daily, yet citizens have no real-time visibility into collection schedules, segregation guidance, or their own environmental impact. I built CleanLoop to bridge that gap — putting BBMP-grade( waste collection organization) civic infrastructure into every resident's pocket.

What it does

It connects the residents to the waste collector operators so that the waste disposal process becomes smooth and easy. It also guides the residents on the waste segregation techniques.

How I built it

We used TanStack Start for full-stack type safety, Supabase for auth and real-time data, and the Lovable AI Gateway for instant waste classification from camera uploads. The live truck map uses animated markers synced to scheduled collection routes, and the entire billing flow supports UPI-ready bill payments.

Challenges I ran into

The biggest hurdle was securing the points system — I had to move all point-awarding logic to server functions with RLS triggers to prevent users from gaming their own eco-scores. Getting the AI classifier to return structured JSON (category, confidence, disposal tip) reliably also took several prompt iterations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of making an impact on the environment through my application by making waste collection accessible and quick. My application helps to contribute a cleaner and sustainable environment making the environment a better and hygienic place to live in for present and future generations. My app reaches the households touching the lives thousands of people in Bangalore solving their problem of waste disposal building cleaner communities for them.

What I learned

Integrating AI waste classification with multilingual support (English, Kannada, Hindi) taught me how critical localization is for civic tech adoption. I also learned that gamification (leaderboards, pickup streaks) dramatically increases engagement with otherwise "boring" civic duties.
