Thinking of creating tools that have a social impact, in this document it is proposed to create a software tool that allows recyclers to serve people directly at home, scheduling regular visits to collect recyclable material, generating trust between the recyclers and the people who live in the areas where they work.

The mechanics of the recycling process by using the proposed software tool is as follows:

Every day, people at home are more conscious about the impact of recycling to guarantee the care of the environment and provide a stable future for new generations; that ́s why, they are more and more willing  to accept responsibility for tasks like recycling. Using the app, they could publish that they have recycling material ready for collection, with the purpose that the recycler apply to receive the recyclable material and take it to the collection centers. The collection process will have a single fee that the household must pay to the recycler so that he or she can collect the recyclable material. The recycler will be able to qualify the recycling received from the houses he visits by assigning a score that will allow establishing the quality of the recycled material in the home. Recyclers will be able to decide whether or not to take a recycling offer based on the household's reputation, and may even charge an extra fee to those households that deliver recycling material in poor condition.

On the other hand, recyclers will receive the publications of the houses and will select which one they will visit. Once committed, the recycler must visit the house to collect the recycled material, at a time to be established during the planning of the project. Users will also be able to rate the attention received from the recycler and if they give a poor rating, the recycler will not be able to apply to collect recycling from that house on future occasions.

Finally, the recycling collection points will be able to function as centers where wi-fi can be offered to recyclers who, having to reach the same point to drop off recyclable material, will be able to connect to the network and take new requests for recycling collection.
