Solid waste is one of the major environment problems in Malaysia. People have the will to throw rubbish properly, but only minority of them will recycle the recyclable garbage. They may not realize that not all garbage to be thrown away are truly garbage, those garbage were thrown away might be due to they are no longer needed by the owner, but yet, still have good usable values. Thus, a proposed system is designed for the purpose of providing an online platform for users to search and sell those reusable unneeded items. The significance of this project is able to help users to handle their unneeded but still reusable stuff in a more appropriate way. For sellers, they can sell their old stuff to earn back some money or give away for free, also they are being able to learn how to promote their items effectively via the designed platform, at the same time, help those people who in need. For buyers, they can buy their needed items in a lower price or even getting free. Not only that, the result of this project will improve the cleanliness of the environment. In order to build a good web-based system, Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is needed to determine the flow of the system and the contents of the system database. Wireframe is designed as a blueprint of the proposed system so that designer will have an overall view of the system design. Also, waterfall model is used as a methodology in completing this project. Lastly, the aim of this project is to design a web-based online platform for users to let go their still-usable stuffs and to put up request and look for desired used item. Another objective of this project is to develop a system which can automatically inform interested users about the availability status of the posted items.
