Waste & Recycling Management App Development
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are seeking a skilled freelancer to develop and publish a prototype for a Waste & Recycling Management App. The app will help users manage waste and recycling activities efficiently, with features like locating nearby waste bins and recycling centers, learning about waste types, log-ging waste and recycling activities, generating reports, predicting future waste, and calculating CO2 savings. The app should be user-friendly, cost-effective, and ready for launch on the App Store or as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Project Scope
Key Features
1. Locate Nearest Waste Dump/Bin Station and Recycling Center:
o Use free APIs (e.g., Google Maps, OpenStreetMap) to display nearby waste bins and recycling centers based on the user’s geographic location.
o Allow users to search for locations manually.
2. Learning Module:
o Provide information about waste types, categories, and recycling tips.
o Include a simple, interactive interface for users to browse content.
3. Waste & Recycling Log:
o Allow users to log waste and recycling activities.
o Fields: Waste Type (Dropdown), Weight (Number Input), Date (Date Picker), Loca-tion (Text Input or Geolocation).
4. Basic Reports and Dashboard:
o Generate basic reports and visualizations (e.g., pie charts, bar charts) for waste distribution and CO2 savings.
o Display key metrics like total waste recycled, CO2 saved, and future waste predic-tions.
5. Future Waste Prediction:
o Use past data to predict future waste volume, size, and weight.
o Display predictions in the dashboard.
6. CO2 Emission Saving:
o Calculate CO2 savings based on recycled waste (e.g., 1 kg of recycled plastic saves 2.5 kg of CO2).
o Display total CO2 savings in the dashboard.
7. Login Screen:
o Include a simple login/signup screen for user authentication.
