TrashSmart – Smart Waste Collection & Recycling Operations Platform
Role: Full-Stack Developer (FlutterFlow + Firebase Backend Architecture)
Project Type: Operations Platform / Sustainability Tech / Internal Logistics System
Overview
TrashSmart is a centralized waste collection and recycling platform operated by a single organization to manage end-to-end waste pickup services. It connects registered users requesting waste collection with assigned collectors managed directly by the organization, while also promoting recycling and environmentally responsible behavior through a rewards-based incentive system.
Admin Panel
Problem
Traditional waste collection systems often lack coordination, transparency, and incentives for sustainable waste disposal. Users have limited motivation to separate waste or engage in recycling, while operational teams struggle with inefficient scheduling, manual coordination, and limited tracking of field collectors.
Solution
TrashSmart digitizes the entire waste collection workflow under one operational system. Users can request pickups based on waste type and size, collectors are dispatched and managed by the organization, and admins maintain full control over assignments, payments, and system operations.
A built-in rewards system encourages users to recycle and dispose of waste responsibly, reinforcing sustainable behavior over time.
Key Contributions
Centralized Multi-Role System
Designed a structured system with three roles:
Users (request pickups and earn rewards for sustainable actions)
Collectors (execute pickups and receive payouts + incentives)
Admins (fully manage operations, assignments, and financial oversight)
Waste Collection Workflow Engine
Built structured pickup request flow including:
Waste categorization (paper, plastic, organic, mixed, etc.)
Bin size selection and pickup requirements
Order lifecycle tracking from request → assignment → collection → completion
Operational Assignment System

Designed collector task flow and status tracking system
Supported structured dispatch and operational visibility for logistics coordination
Payments & Internal Payout Logic
Integrated payment flow for user collection requests

Users earn points for recycling-friendly behavior and completed pickups
Collectors earn performance-based reward incentives
Enabled redemption of rewards for free or discounted services
Admin Operations Dashboard Logic
Built full administrative control layer for:
Monitoring all collection requests
Assigning and managing collectors
Tracking revenue and operational performance
