Abstract Waste volume and improper disposal present a tough social concern. In the Philippines, escalating waste volume compounds inadequate waste infrastructure. This situation requires integrated strategies for both refining disposal and easing sustainable consumption. This study developed EcoCheck, a community-driven mobile app for recycling and waste management reporting. It allows residents to report illegal dumping using geo-tagged photos and access proper recycling information. Local Government Units (LGUs) gain actionable data to inform waste infrastructure decisions. This approach uses "citizen science" to enhance environmental literacy and advocacy. The study used a quantitative research design. Researchers evaluated the app using the ISO/IEC 25010 software quality standard. Participants included residents, barangay officials, and IT experts. EcoCheck successfully met its objectives. It provides a practical, scalable model to increase public awareness and supply LGUs with real-time, geo-specific data. Future work should scale implementation and add reward systems to further increase participation. EcoCheck is a feasible, high-quality digital intervention for waste management.
