Hey Vizag folks,

We're a small team here in Visakhapatnam and we just launched our first app that connects households and businesses with scrap collectors for recycling pickup.

Honest truth ,the scrap system here is a mess. Collectors show up randomly, pricing is never transparent, and half the recyclable stuff just ends up burned or dumped.

We're trying to fix that with a simple app ,schedule a pickup, get fair pricing, know where your waste goes.

App 1 is live (user side). App 2 for collectors is coming soon.

We genuinely want to know:

  • Would you actually use something like this?
  • What's your biggest frustration with waste/scrap collection right now?
  • What would make you trust an app like this?

Tear it apart if needed. We'd rather hear it now than later.

Genuine question for Vizag people

How do you currently deal with recyclable waste at home or at your business?

I've been noticing that most of us either wait forever for a kabadiwala who may or may not show up, or we just throw everything mixed into the bin and hope for the best. A lot of it quietly ends up burned somewhere.

Curious about a few things:

  • How often does someone actually come to collect your scrap?
  • Do you feel like you get a fair price for it?
  • Would you want a way to schedule it on your own time?
  • What would actually make you change how you handle waste?

Not selling anything here , genuinely trying to understand how people in Vizag deal with this before we figure out if there's a better way.
