Snapcrap is an application for Android designed to keep streets and sidewalks of San Francisco clean. Users can take a photo of garbage and submit a request directly to 311.
Helping public service
It is possible to help public services in San Francisco by reporting a litter problem. Users can take a photo of garbage and call 311 to submit a request. To do this, it is necessary to enable the app access to the camera of a mobile device and phone calls.
Once you contact the primary customer service center, it is possible to describe the problem and send a photo as a proof. Moreover, you can add a comment to the image before uploading in the app.
There is an option to track ticket status and find out whether the issues on the streets are resolved. This section allows you to be sure that the public works department fulfilled their duty.
Sign in
It is possible to sign up with a mobile number or a Facebook account. The former requires you to have a valid US number that starts with +1. After registration you are able to take photos and submit requests. However, testing the app showed that it was shut down. The developers have not been updating Snapcrap since 2018 and even probably stopped supporting it.
