Abstract - With rapid urbanization, India generates millions of tonnes of scrap annually, leading to landfill overflow and environmental degradation. However, the absence of a structured waste collection system makes it difficult for households and businesses to dispose of scrap efficiently, relying on irregular visits from ragmen. The scrap industry also lacks transparency, allowing dealers to exploit sellers with unfair pricing and uncertain weight measurements. Additionally, waste pickers struggle to earn a stable livelihood due to intense competition and middlemen reducing their earnings. Inefficient waste disposal further contributes to pollution and hampers recycling efforts, highlighting the urgent need for a sustainable solution.
To address these challenges ECO HEAVEN offers a digital waste management platform that connects scrap sellers with collectors through a seamless and transparent process. Built on the MERN stack, it eliminates middlemen, optimizes routes via Google Maps, and enhances recycling efficiency, making waste management more transparent, profitable, and sustainable.
