TRASHAWAY

Waste management remains a major challenge across many parts of Nigeria due to irregular waste collection, poor monitoring systems, inefficient scheduling, and illegal waste disposal practices. These issues contribute to environmental pollution and public health risks. TRASHAWAY is a proposed digital waste management solution designed to improve the way waste collection and disposal services are coordinated across the country. The platform will provide residents with an easy way to request waste pickups, monitor collection activities, receive updates, and improve communication between waste management agencies and citizens.
