Point at the problem.
The rear camera opens on phones. Gemini examines selected frames for visible overflow, or identifies components of an item. The camera video stays on the device.
SMALL ACTIONS. SHARED SPACES.
Open scanner A little more care for the city.
Bin There Done That connects everyday sorting decisions with a clearer picture of the waste problems around us.
Give every part a place.
Visible item components are matched to a reviewed subset of Toronto public-space rules. Unknown materials stay uncertain. Screen overlays guide your attention without pretending to track 3D openings.
Put a little good on the map.
Two consistent live camera observations can save an overflow report when its location is resolved. Reports, distinct cases and affected bins are counted separately.
Real places. Honest limits.
The map starts with the supplied City of Toronto litter receptacle inventory: 10,457 records, of which 9,822 are listed as existing. Inventory status may lag physical changes. An unreported bin is not necessarily clean, and a heatmap reflects observation coverage rather than a citywide cleanliness score.
Authorized operators can add physically existing bins inside designated areas, review evidence, assign work and record follow-up photos. Work marked complete and condition rechecked are different records. No automatic submission is made to Toronto 311.
Reports and original evidence stay private to the reporter and authorized operators. Public map summaries omit precise unmatched coordinates, device identifiers and evidence photos. Selected evidence is retained for seven days by default; expired media is removed when the server processes scans.
