The Oyo State government has introduced a mobile application for improving and tracking the collection of waste in the State.
This
was revealed by the management of Oyo State Waste Management Consultant,
Mottainai Recycling in Ibadan, on Thursday.
The
Chief Strategy Officer, Mottainai Recycling, Ms. Uloma Airhienbuwa said the new
step is geared towards simplifying waste management in the pace-setter State.
She
also said that the easy-to-use application will help in tracking the 'movement
and management' of hazardous and other solid wastes.
According
to Ms. Uloma Airhienbuwa, the waste management app, which can be downloaded on
all smart devices, is designed with user convenience and sustainability in
mind, offering several key features to facilitate waste and recycling pickup
requests.
“The
app also offers clarity on when your waste is picked up, and by whom; and an
ability to pay your waste bill”, Uloma Airhienbuwa said.
Speaking
further, Ms. Airhienbuwa hinted that it also has a fun and transparent way of
incentivizing waste sorting.
Her
words, “the app has a User-friendly Interface: The app provides an intuitive
and user-friendly interface that allows waste generators to easily navigate and
make pickup requests with just a few taps.”
“Users
can initiate waste pickup requests through the app by specifying the type of
waste, quantity, and preferred pickup date and time. Users can either make this
an on-demand request or create an ideal pickup schedule for themselves. This
feature enables efficient scheduling and coordination between Mottainai and
users”, she added.
“The
app incorporates GPS technology to enable users to locate their specific
waste-pickup location”, Ms. Airhienbuwa asserted.
“To
incentivize waste sorting, the app incorporates a points-based system. Users
earn points based on the accuracy of their waste sorting and responsible
disposal practices. Accumulated points can be redeemed for various rewards,
such as discounts on waste management services, or donation to a charity
organization of your choice”, Airhienbuwa added.
Ms.
Uloma Airhienbuwa added that the app is continually being developed to ensure
users a seamless experience for pickup requests, tracking the progress of
pickups and payments and receiving rewards.
