Five steps. We track each.
From the moment you snap the location to the moment you have public proof of cleanup — here's what really happens, and how long it takes.
- 01
Snap
~ 10 secondsYou open Smećomap → tap 'Report pin' → your phone opens the native camera. You photograph the location (max 5 photos) — GPS is picked up automatically in the background. Photo + GPS is the minimum needed.
- ·No account, no registration.
- ·Email is asked only at the very end, as a magic link.
- ·Dual EXIF flow: the public version is stripped, the original stays only for moderators.
- 02✎
Classify
~ 10 secondsWaste type (10 categories — from municipal to medical), size (small / medium / large / huge), description if you want. Everything else (municipality, coordinates, date) is automatic.
- ·If GPS signal is missing: drag the pin on the map manually.
- 03
Admin verifies
~ 24hA volunteer moderator reviews the photos, checks if it's actually waste (a real dumpsite versus a sidewalk trash can). If everything checks out, the pin becomes public and moves to 'forwarded' status alongside a PDF report for the relevant public utility.
- ·Rejection reasons: false report, duplicate, not waste, personal data in photo, other.
- ·Bulk actions are scope-restricted (same municipality + same type ≤ 50 pins).
- 04✉
We forward to the utility
~ 5 minutesAdmin generates a PDF report with all details — coordinates, classification, photos — and emails the public utility. A mailto link with pre-filled subject and body; the admin attaches the PDF manually.
- ·We don't auto-send email — every utility has its own spam-filter whitelist process.
- ·Each report gets a unique number the utility can reference.
- 05
Track the status
open-endedThe pin moves publicly: forwarded → in progress (if the utility responds) → cleaned (when an after-photo proves it). The reporter gets an email on every status change. If 30 days pass with no action — the pin auto-moves to 'ignored' and the municipality lands on the 'wall of shame'.
- ·An after-photo is required before the 'cleaned' transition.
- ·A cron job runs the auto-ignored task at 03:00 UTC daily.

30 seconds is all it takes. Email won't ask you anything before you see the pin go through.
