What is it?
This application promotes better communication with citizens, by subscribing to the collection routes geo-referenced by the municipality, they will be able to receive messages when the collection truck is in the chosen area and thus deposit the waste at opportune hours. It was developed through the work, collaboration and participation of citizens with the information provided by the municipal government, specifically from the Directorate of Municipal Public Services of Veracruz, Mexico.
Why was it created?
Currently, in Veracruz approximately 237,250 tons of waste are collected per year, which are produced in homes, workplaces, schools, markets, companies, industries and other generating sources. Hence the urgency to improve and modernize the collection service to avoid serious problems that affect ecosystems and the environment.
