Coletô: desenvolvimento de um aplicativo para notificação da coleta de resíduos sólidos urbanos

Abstract

The increase in the generation of urban solid waste highlights the need for technological solutions that help the population monitor collection. In this sense, this work aimed to develop an application to notify users about the approach of the garbage collection truck. The methodology comprised a systematic mapping of the literature, application of a research questionnaire, development of the application and evaluation using the TAM model. The results revealed the scarcity of technologies aimed at predicting the collection of waste and indicated a high perception of usefulness, ease of use and intention to use, demonstrating the potential of Coletô as a technology to support the collection of urban solid waste.
