Project
TrashMapr (Waste.Watch)
Geospatial litter intelligence platform that converts public photo submissions into actionable hotspot maps for civic cleanup planning.
Project Details
TrashMapr (Waste.Watch) supports municipal and community cleanup operations by transforming citizen image reports into location-aware litter insights and priority heatmaps.
The architecture uses signed upload workflows and asynchronous image analysis pipelines, enabling reliable processing at scale while maintaining a near-real-time public map.
Cleanup teams can use cluster intensity and waste-type distributions to plan routes, allocate volunteers, and prioritize zones with the highest environmental impact.
The contribution flow is optimized for speed: submit evidence, enrich with geospatial context, classify debris, and publish updated planning signals with minimal operational delay.
Beyond one-time visibility, the platform surfaces recurring hotspot behavior over time, enabling teams to compare intervention effectiveness and refine cleanup strategy by location.
