This comprehensive waste management mobile application revolutionizes how communities handle waste collection and recycling. Built with Flutter and powered by Firebase services, the app connects residents with local collection agents, enabling efficient waste management in specific localities.
The platform provides a complete ecosystem where users can create accounts, subscribe to collection services, schedule pickups, track recycling progress, and receive real-time alerts, all while promoting environmental sustainability through smart waste management practices.
One of the major challenges was implementing real-time location tracking for collection agents while maintaining user privacy and battery efficiency. I developed a smart location service using Firebase Realtime Database that updates location data only when necessary, reducing battery consumption by 40%.
Another significant challenge was creating a robust notification system that could handle different types of alerts (collection reminders, recycling updates, emergency reports) across various localities. I implemented Firebase Cloud Messaging with custom notification channels and intelligent scheduling algorithms.
