What the app does
Clear disposal guidance

Local rule awareness
The app supports city-specific overrides so guidance can adapt when local programs differ.

WasteWise is usable as an MVP. The debug build includes a curated local knowledge base, working search, item details, and basic city-aware guidance.
External datasets have been imported as review candidates only. They should be checked for licensing and local accuracy before being merged into the production app data.
