Abstract

Nowadays, people use electronic devices everywhere and all the time. Though they prove to improve our quality of everyday life, there also stands a challenge which is electronic waste (e-waste). The constantly expanding technology and unawareness among people about its severe effects remains a problem. Many harmful substances like mercury, barium and lead are found in e-waste and a huge amount of e-waste is generated consistently and if not urgently addressed it would show consequences by affecting our mother earth, our environment and health. Hence, our website "E-waste Facility locator" aims to contribute to proper e-waste management and responsible disposal. This issue demands attention and hence, we aim to develop a website that would increase the awareness among people of the e-waste and its effects. Our website focuses towards helping people find e-waste facilities and recycling centers nearby to their location which would increase the use of suitable e-waste disposal methods. We will also integrate an image identification model that would identify the e-waste item based on the image uploaded by the user and assist the user by suggesting a list of solutions on how to correctly dispose that off. Our website mainly focuses towards increasing awareness among people of the adverse effects of e-waste.
