Google Maps not only helps you find your way around an area, but the app has managed to help people find the best locations in town, restaurants in a city, help people find places where they can volunteer for community work, and during Covid19 it searched for places where vaccine availability was present and now it has come up with another new initiative on Google Maps to help the environment.
Google on its Maps application is launching an initiative which will help people find places where they can drop off their junk or materials they no longer need so that it can be processed and recycled and this is a rather great step for the conservation of our environment. Previously a lot of tech companies have come forward with initiatives which shows how the companies help the environment but this is the first time some tech giant has started projects have help other people take part in doing the same.
Google Maps is introducing new tools in its application which will help people to find out where they can dispose of their used up materials so they can be recycled properly. Verified businesses which will be accepting recycling material can use Google My Business Page to let people know the type of materials like clothing, electronics, batteries, hazardous waste, glass, plastics which they will be accepting for recycling. While many businesses at times do not get verified the application is planning on letting people specifically visitors who have already been to the recycling centers answer questions and queries other people have about drop-off locations to get more precise and accurate information.
Proactive recyclers will also have the ability to submit their own edits for a location in order to make it easier for others to find a place.
While this is a great step towards making our environment clean, the initiative is still in its initial stages and currently while this data tells what can be dropped off at locations and where the recycling centers are present, it still lacks the ability to tell which place accepts specifically what. However, we are sure that once the tool is launched properly it will get updated and all that lacks currently will be made available as well.
It is great to see that big tech giants like Google care so much about the conservation of the environment and are introducing such great initiatives for its betterment. We are sure this feature will help people very much as people will easily get rid of the excessive junk which they do not need and it can be used towards conserving environment or can be provided to people who genuinely need it.
