Community‑Driven Smart Garbage Collection System

Smart Swachh is a hackathon‑ready civic‑tech web platform designed to improve garbage collection in Indian cities. Instead of fixed or random schedules, garbage trucks are dispatched only when a ward is actually ready, based on real‑time citizen participation.

This project focuses on strong UI/UX, real‑world feasibility, and social impact, making it ideal for college‑level hackathons.

🚀 Problem Statement

In many Indian cities, garbage collection follows unpredictable schedules:

• Garbage trucks arrive randomly
• Citizens miss pickups
• Waste piles up in local areas
• No transparency or accountability exists

There is no demand‑based system that reflects actual garbage readiness at the ward level.

---

💡 Our Solution

Smart Swachh introduces a community‑driven, demand‑based garbage collection system where:

• Citizens mark when their garbage is ready
• The system calculates ward readiness in real time
• Garbage trucks are scheduled only when a defined threshold is reached
• Truck movement is visualized like delivery apps
• Citizens receive alerts when trucks approach
