Little Cleaner

A WhatsApp bot that helps organize reported garbage locations in a city. Users can report garbage by sending a message with the location, and the bot will store it in a database for cleanup crews to access.

Python Flask Twilio API

Overview

Little Cleaner is a WhatsApp-based bot designed to streamline garbage reporting and cleanup coordination in urban areas. Instead of relying on phone calls or dedicated apps, residents can simply message the bot on WhatsApp — a platform they already use daily — to report garbage locations.

How It Works

  • A user sends a WhatsApp message to the bot with the garbage location details.
  • The bot processes the message using the Twilio API and a Flask backend.
  • The reported location is stored in a database for cleanup crews to review.
  • Cleanup crews can access the database to plan efficient routes and prioritize areas.
