            </div>

Line range hint 751-754: Fix security issue with inline script and optimize resource loading.

The inline script using dangerouslySetInnerHTML is a security risk, and script loading can be optimized.

-    <script id="gtranslate-config" dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: `window.gtranslateSettings={ "default_language"
-        : "en" , "detect_browser_language" : true, "wrapper_selector" : ".gtranslate_wrapper" };` }}></script>
+    <script id="gtranslate-config">
+        window.gtranslateSettings = {
+            default_language: "en",
+            detect_browser_language: true,
+            wrapper_selector: ".gtranslate_wrapper"
+        };
+    </script>

Line range hint 1-767: Improve accessibility compliance.

The website needs several accessibility improvements:

  1. Add ARIA labels to interactive elements
  2. Ensure proper heading hierarchy
  3. Add skip navigation for keyboard users
  4. Ensure proper color contrast

Add these elements at the beginning of the body:

<body>
+    <a href="#main-content" class="skip-link">Skip to main content</a>
+    <div role="alert" id="announcer" aria-live="polite" class="sr-only"></div>

Line range hint 3-13: Add SEO meta tags and social sharing capabilities.

The page is missing important SEO and social sharing meta tags.

Add these meta tags in the head section:

    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
+        <meta name="description" content="Efficient waste management solutions for a sustainable future. Learn about waste classification, recycling tips, and join our community initiatives.">
+        <meta name="keywords" content="waste management, recycling, sustainability, environmental protection">
+        <link rel="canonical" href="https://yourwebsite.com/index.html">
+        <meta property="og:title" content="Waste Management - Sustainable Solutions">
+        <meta property="og:description" content="Join our mission for a cleaner, greener planet through effective waste management.">
+        <meta property="og:image" content="https://yourwebsite.com/assets/og-image.jpg">
+        <meta property="og:url" content="https://yourwebsite.com/index.html">
styles.css (10)

1-6: Consider moving the font-family declaration to the body selector for better specificity.

Setting the font-family in the universal selector (*) applies it to all elements, including those where it might not be desired (e.g., buttons, inputs). Placing it in the body selector ensures text elements inherit the font while allowing overrides when necessary.


38-46: Maintain consistent units for spacing to enhance scalability.

You've used both rem and px units for padding and margins (e.g., padding: 1rem 2rem; and margin-left: 10px;). Using consistent units like rem throughout ensures better scalability across different screen sizes.

Apply this diff to standardize units:

- padding: 1rem 2rem;
- margin-left: 10px;
+ padding: 1rem 2rem;
+ margin-left: 1rem;

73-78: Enhance button accessibility by adding focus styles.

Currently, buttons only have hover effects. Including focus styles improves accessibility for keyboard navigation users.

Apply this diff to add focus styles:

 .button {
   background-color: #4caf50;
   border: none;
   padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
   border-radius: 4px;
   transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
+  outline: none;
+}
+
+.button:focus {
+  outline: 2px solid #2e7d32;
 }

86-87: Add transition to the .button:hover effect for smoother interaction.

Including a transition property enhances the user experience by making the hover effect gradual.

Apply this diff:

 .button:hover {
   background-color: #388e3c;
+  transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
 }

286-287: Include a transition for the .card:hover effect to smooth out scaling.

Applying a transition makes the scaling effect less abrupt and more visually appealing.

Apply this diff:

 .card {
   width: 300px;
   height: 400px;
   background-color: #fff;
   border-radius: 8px;
   box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
   overflow: hidden;
   cursor: pointer;
   transition: transform 0.3s ease;
 }

 .card:hover {
   transform: scale(1.05);
+  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
 }

217-235: Consider responsive typography for improved readability on smaller devices.

While you've adjusted layouts for responsiveness, scaling font sizes using viewport units or media queries can enhance readability on various screen sizes.


238-242: Reduce redundancy by creating a common class for section styling.

Both section and .classification have similar styles. Defining a shared class can simplify maintenance and ensure consistency.

Apply this diff:

 .shared-section {
   padding: 20px;
   margin: 20px 0;
   background-color: #f8f8f8;
   border-radius: 8px;
 }

-section {
-  padding: 20px;
-  margin: 20px 0;
-  background-color: #f8f8f8;
-  border-radius: 8px;
-}

 .classification {
+  background-color: #f9f9f9;
+  border-top: 3px solid #4caf50;
+}
+
+/* Apply shared styles */
+section,
+.classification {
+  @extend .shared-section;
+}

110-121: Improve text readability in the .hero-text section.

Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background, and consider increasing line-height for better readability.

Apply this diff:

 .hero-text p {
   margin-bottom: 1rem;
   font-size: 1.1rem;
+  line-height: 1.6;
+  color: #f0f0f0;
 }

68-70: Enhance semantics by using appropriate HTML elements for navigation.

Consider using the <nav> element instead of a div with class="btn-nav" to improve semantic structure and accessibility.

Apply this diff:

-<div class="btn-nav">
+<nav class="btn-nav">

60-64: Simplify selectors by combining shared styles for #theme-toggle and #menu-toggle.

Since both IDs share the same styles, combining them makes the CSS cleaner.

Apply this diff:

#theme-toggle,
#menu-toggle {
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  color: #fff;
}
