Inspiration
Technology in landfills secretes harmful chemicals into the planet. E-recycling is the only way to properly dispose of electronics, but there aren't many applications for this purpose.
What it does
Takes a user's location and presents electronic disposal centers near the user.
How we built it
Using Java in Eclipse IDE.
Challenges we ran into
The Andriod IDE wasn't properly configured onto the laptops we used, and prevented us from making progress on a mobile application or with Maps API.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a database ourselves. Finishing the program despite the obstacles encountered.
What we learned
How to set up a server with Mysql
What's next for EWasteFinder
To develop a mobile application, a nicer framework, visual representation of locations, and allow businesses to easily include themselves in the database.
