Whether they are on the edge of a road, or in amusement parks, forests, coastal areas, etc., the universal solution to the problem requires a simple tool that will be used by any citizen to report the problem, so that others can see these problems. and to create actions or pressures on competent bodies in order to correct the problem while changing our mentality on the issue of garbage. Prerequisite is to guide the user through easy and quick questions so that it is not difficult to use at any stage.
