Hawkeye Monitoring

A digital waste monitoring web app that includes both real time and historical data of the waste that ends up in one school, SMA Pradita Dirgantara.

Introducing Hawkeye

Ever wondered, how much waste is really filling up in my school environment? We built a waste monitoring app that is designed to help you understand in real terms, just how significant the impact of trash is in the long run.

With Hawkeye you can:

Monitor real-time data of waste throughout the day

View the waste by each trash collection location

Gain data of the total amount of trash collected, throughout the year
