Inspiration

Over the years, as the importance of recycling and the spread of awareness regarding the reduction of pollution, waste, and the incentive to reduce waste has grown, we wanted to take this opportunity to take another step forward. Through ReHub, an interactive web app, we believe people will be more incentivized to recycle.

Features and Highlights

One of the major features of Rehub is the leaderboard chart:

• - Account creation and participation within the leaderboard.
• - Accessing google maps to find the nearest recycling center.

How We Built It

We decided to use Flutter to design our front end. Since Flutter allows for easy development for iOS, Android, and the Web, it is essential to be able to communicate and spread awareness of the importance of recycling. We were able to utilize Firebase for our backend as it acts as an important database tool to help manage users and their requests and authentication.

What We Learned

Some of the things we were able to learn throughout the project were that:

• - limitations & realistic goals e.g. can't control the progress of the production in terms of implementing point system dependency within the recycling center.
• - Improvement upon skills/technologies that we've previously used, to architect and construct this project.
• - room for creativity within the leaderboard and account creation features.

What's Next?

We believe that ReHub can be scaled to a bigger scale and be incorporated within many Recycling centers while acting as a quick and reliable resource for anyone to recycle more. Some additional features such as the ability to provide the user the most optimal distance to the nearest distance. Also, identifying and receiving data on recycling centers outside of the Bay Area to provide accurate google maps info for users.
