Civic-tech, for Kumbakonam

About MyKumbakonam

A community-run feed of garbage hotspots across the city. Anyone can report. Everyone can see. Nothing goes public until a moderator has reviewed it.

How it works

  1. Snap a photo

    Tap "Report" and add a clear photo of the spot.

  2. A moderator reviews

    We screen for spam, duplicates and anything that should not be public. Most reports are reviewed within a few hours.

  3. The city sees it

    Once approved, the report appears on the feed and the map. People can like, comment and share.

  4. It gets resolved

    Moderators update the status as work progresses, all the way to Resolved.

  • We hash and salt your IP address solely to limit spam. We do not store raw IPs.
  • EXIF metadata is stripped from uploaded photos.
  • Please avoid uploading photos that contain identifiable people. Blur faces if you must include them.

What not to post
