We created this project to address the issue of littering and its impact on traffic in my community, emphasizing the need for accessible trashcans and regular garbage collection to maintain clean and efficient streets.

Syncing the garbage truck's movement with the clearing of the trash and restarting traffic was challenging. We solved this by using precise timing blocks and repeatedly testing the sequence to ensure smooth transitions and realistic actions.

I would add interactive features for users to place trashcans in strategic locations, showing effects on traffic flow and cleanliness. Additionally, I would develop mini-games and quizzes to educate users about the benefits of recycling and proper waste disposal, enhancing the project's educational
