Solid Waste Management is an especially important task related to human health and the environment. Due to ineffective scheduled date & time, poor communication between waste collecting institutions and local house owners, people are compelled to throw waste on streets which is not good. Even if there is a routine, people tend to miss the schedule. Our aim is to develop an application for mobile phones, which consists of two parties- the user and waste management officials, where the second one acts as reminders. Officials will send a notification to the user, signaling that they are at a certain checkpoint near the user and the user can now throw waste properly and not on the streets. An incremental model was used throughout our project; basic requirements are fulfilled first and then iterated to create the final product. The proposed application includes two portals for whether you are user or waste management personnel. This application helps to improve the coordination between clients and collectors and determines whether the waste in an area has been collected or not. The survey conducted in this study involved consulting the Environment and Agricultural Department of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, which highlighted the significance of a notifying application. This application addresses the issue of uncoordinated waste disposal by providing users with information about collection schedules, leading to better waste management practices and reduced unsystematic garbage disposal.
