THE IDEA

We are developing an application with specific segments of customers: ordinary people, like you and me, and companies that collect recyclable waste. With the objective of making people aware of the low level of recyclable waste in Brazil and in the world, thinking today to secure tomorrow.

THE USER FROM DAY TO DAY

It will be our main tool, where it will feed the system with data. Being as follows: The day-to-day user will take the photo of his trash, this photo will be sent along with his geolocation, which then the collecting company will be notified about this trash. After the process of the collecting company, the user will be notified within 24 hours to know when the garbage will be collected. Having free application access.

THE PARTNER

The recyclable waste collection company will be our partner, where it will have access to all the data of recyclable wastes that are sent by the users, being able to carry out a planning of its collections, in this way automating its services, generating less costs and more profits. Access will be free for 30 days, so the company will check the effectiveness of the system, having online and physical support if necessary.

CASHBACK

The user who uses our application on a day-to-day basis, generates an awareness of the importance of recycling the garbage, where he will get a cash return at the end of the month for your participation. Cashback aims to encourage and consequently make people aware.

LIXO AMIGO (FRIEND TRASH)
