Inspiration
Cleanliness is a major factor in public health and city image. Overflowing bins, littered streets, and delayed waste collection affect everyone. We wanted to build a smart, tech-driven solution that makes hygiene management easier, faster, and more efficient for communities and municipalities.
What it does
The Street Hygiene Management System helps monitor and manage street cleanliness using:
Smart bin status tracking (filled/empty)
GPS-based waste collection routes
Report-a-spot feature for citizens to report dirty areas
Dashboard for authorities to see live cleanliness status
Automated alerts for cleaning teams when action is needed
How we built it
