Many a time, many Singaporeans, just like us, do feel the urge to recycle and help the environment out. With so much help given to conventional recycling ways, recycling of electronics are often left out, or unknown to many.
The WzSayEz app aims to provide Singaporeans greater flexibility in recycling their items, with a map of all e-recycling bins integrated into it. Users are able to send in their photos/pictures to be stored in our database, and be awarded points when they are approved by the system administrators.
Using Flutter, which is a cross-platform app development tool, we built the app with dart as the main programming language used.
