♻️ BinGo – AI-Powered Waste Disposal Verification & Gamification App

BinGo is a smart waste management platform that leverages AI, gamification, and geospatial data to encourage responsible civic behavior. Users earn rewards for verified waste disposal, locate nearby public dustbins, and compete in local eco-challenges.

🚀 Features

• 📸 AI-Powered Proof Verification
  Users upload a "live" image of themselves disposing waste. AI verifies the action to prevent fraud or abuse.

• 🧩 Gamified Civic Engagement
  Users earn points and badges, climb leaderboards, and unlock rewards based on participation and consistency.

• 🗺️ Crowdsourced Dustbin Mapping
  Public dustbins are geotagged and displayed using a map-based UI for easy navigation.

• 🎁 Reward System Integration
  Redeem points for rewards sponsored by local businesses or municipal programs.
