Project Description
BIN++ is a solution that aims to make waste management everybody’s business. The application tracks the type of waste and incentivizes users to participate. It works with sensors that are mounted on trash bins, allowing for quick recognition of garbage materials during disposal. By implementing a gamification system, BIN++ encourages selective disposal of trash, using a mobile app that is connected to the back-end solution via an API.
The solution leverages LoRa technology to provide low-bandwidth, low-power communication.
