A year later, that worked helped get a trash can on nearly every intersection of SoMa West.

Hi all,

We're working on tools to map and clean litter. We have an iOS app and a fancy "picker-upper" you can see in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ9crcWoqqc&t=0s

We're validating whether businesses and residents sponsoring regular cleanups is a viable business model for us.

This is reddit post we made, using our data, about the cigarette litter on Polk Street, SF, over the course of a month: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/9lc2ir/tob...

That was one of our first attempts and we're working on more substantive visualizations of different parts of the city now.

We're also thinking about launching a kickstarter for the picker upper, since a lot of people have been asking about it. It wasn't initially in the plans - but people seem to like it.

Feedback is always appreciated!

Thanks, Emin
