        abstract = {The rapid urbanization in India has led to a significant increase in waste generation, yet the scrap collection industry remains largely unorganized. This sector suffers from critical inefficiencies, including a lack of price transparency, inconvenient scheduling, and a fragmented market where different vendors handle general scrap versus specialized services. Existing digital solutions often focus only on general household scrap, neglecting the high-value specialized service sector. This paper presents the design, development, and implementation of "Scrapiz," a comprehensive, hybrid waste management platform built using React Native. The system uniquely integrates two primary modules into a single mobile application: (1) a "Sell Scrap" module for general household and commercial items, featuring a 4-step booking process with transparent, pre-defined pricing, and (2) a "Services" module for specialized industrial and residential needs, including Demolition, Equipment Dismantling, Secure Paper Shredding, Society Tie-ups, and Junk Removal. The platform is architected as a two-app ecosystem (Client and future Vendor) and includes robust features such as order management, a referral wallet, and multi-channel customer support. The successful implementation of the client application validates the feasibility of this hybrid model, offering a unified and user-centric solution to a fragmented and unorganized industry.},
