litter-app

Facilitating the planning and organisation of fly-tip cleanups, Tip-Off is a web app designed to allow users to report, and share information about existing litter and waste sites.

Currently mobile-only

Check out the MVP here

Check out the prototype, or view it on github pages.

Goals

User Journeys

  • People can document litter sites (i.e. fly-tipping, build-ups of illegal litter, or undesirable waste located in public areas), and report details of its size, location, and type.

  • Volunteers and concerned citizens can then browse documented litter sites by location using map UIs, and view the litter sites' details in order to plan cleanups to remove the waste.

User Stories

  • As someone visiting the page I want to be presented with a brief description of the app's purpose, so I can determine whether it's of use to me.

  • As a user of the app, I want to be able to navigate between the various pages so I can easily access the feature that is of most use to me.

  • As a user who has noticed waste in a public space, I want to be able to report details of said waste so that other users can be made aware of the litter, and view information.

    • Share the location of the litter site.
    • Upload an image of the litter site.
    • Detail the size and type of the litter site.

  • As a cleanup volunteer, concerned by the cleanliness of my area, I want to see waste sites mapped out, so that see how many there are, and where they are.

  • As a cleanup volunteer who has identified a waste site in a map of my area, I can click on the waste site marker so I can review further details pertaining thereto.
