Litterbug

A decentralized litter cleanup service for communities, by communities.

Litterbug is a gamified micro-gig and gig-ecology application. It uses machine vision, gamified model training, and social media to promote litter collection, document litter types, and increase societal litter prevention action. Litterbugs and Litterbug supporters can coordinate through micro financial incentives that support decentralized, local litter collection efforts and each other.

Litter Collection Rig

Similar litter grabbers to the one I use can be found cheaply on Amazon. The bendable selfie stick I use can be found at this link. Reach out if you cannot afford a litter collection setup. I'm keen to support beta testers and can help with some purchasing! My email is in the support section below.
