CityBin connects residents, associations and local authorities around waste sorting. The app (iOS and Android) gives your municipality's sorting guidelines based on your address, a map of bins and recycling centres, barcode scanning and reports to your local authority. With the console, municipalities publish their own guidelines and follow each report until it is closed, with no sensors to install. Associations get a free platform: events, QR code check-in, waste characterisation.

Could you build this?

Partial The app and map UI are buildable, but accurate per-address sorting rules require proprietary municipal data and partnerships with local authorities.

What it would actually take: The core stack is a mobile app with a geocoded bin and recycling-center map, a barcode-scanning database, and a municipality admin console. The hard part is acquiring and maintaining up-to-date sorting rules for each local authority, which means data-collection and government partnership work. Local-government sales and ongoing data curation are the real barriers.
