Abstract
The "Door-To-Door Garbage Collection Smart Reporting System" was initiated to address the critical digital divide in rural waste management, where approximately 70% of village panchayats in Goa still rely on inefficient, manual, paper-based tracking systems. These traditional methods lack the transparency and real-time data necessary to manage the increasing waste volumes and low segregation compliance effectively. To solve this, our team developed a comprehensive full-stack ecosystem using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and React Native. The methodology involved creating a four-tier architecture: a Public Website for citizen registration and complaints, an Administrative Panel for Panchayat oversight, a Super-Admin Dashboard for subscription management, and a Labour Mobile App that utilizes QR scanning and GPS geofencing to automate attendance and verify collection proof in real-time.
Our study observed that integrating operational attendance with bin collection significantly improves field accountability and data accuracy. We concluded that providing a transparent, public-facing dashboard and digital grievance tracking encourages higher community engagement and segregation compliance. This scalable system provides a robust framework for modernizing rural sanitation, transforming waste management from a manual chore into a data-driven service.
