The website www.izmitcinaratik.com and the android and ios-based 'İzmit Çınar Waste' mobile application aims to raise awareness of citizens about the importance of recycling and environment in which most of our citizens has inadequate knowledge but also to inform them about the projects that the municipality has already implemented or proposed in related field as well.
Within the scope of the project, the locations of all recycling points spread throughout İzmit are marked on the recycling map in our mobile application. Specifically with using the mobile application citizens can see the related waste bin closest to their location according to waste type from their smartphones, get directions to to the waste bin they choose and give feedback to our municipality with the unique QR code which is stamped on each waste bin as well. Thus diversity and amount of recycable wastes which will be collected in İzmit increase gradually. This transformative action has been created in line with the goals of the UN Sustainable Development Golas under the title of Sustainable Cities and Communities and has been designed to be easily adapted other local governments.
For this purpose 602 packaging waste boxes, 163 glass boxes, 49 pet cages, 26 electronic waste containers, 200 waste oil drums, 148 battery boxes, and locations of two mobile waste collection center were processed on the Recycling Map and placed on the relevant website and mobile application.
The design and information processing process of the application was completed in 2020, and the system was put into practice as of January 20 in 2021. With the implementation of the project, citizens have able to see the closest waste collection according the type of waste from their smartphones and get directions to the waste bin they have chosen. The citizens who reaches the waste bin which they have selected, can also create a waste collection request to the municipality by using the 'Send Check' and 'Report Waste' buttons in the mobile application, if the relevant waste bin is full.
Furthermore citizens can access information about the works of our municipality in the field of waste management, news and projects which is carried out or planned to be realized in this field, within the 'İzmit Çınar Waste' website and android and ios-based 'İzmit Çınar Waste' mobile application. The project has started to be announced by municipal social media channels after Çınar Waste website and mobile application become operational for citizens with the aim of increasing awareness about our project.
Moreover in order to foster more active usage of the app and to reach more people the Environmental Knowledge Contest was implemented between June-July 2021 to highlight the importance of recycling and create a general environmental awareness for children and young people through the İzmit Çınar Waste mobile application.
Citizens were engaged by accessing information about the works of our municipality in the field of waste management, news and projects as well as bringing their waste to correspondent points.
