We highly recommend use this version of mongo on Debian 11, because we found some problems during the installation of this DB if you want to use another DB, remember to configure the app.js file at the top and change the properties.

After you installed Mongo and Nodejs you can start your proyect with the command below, but remember you mongo database must be active using the port:27017 the collection was created by default you do not need to create anothe one. use nodemon to start the project as:

On the WebApp you can post all the information that will be useful and anybody can find you in your community and collect or give you the type of garbage that your interested for recycle and make a better circular econommy.

IBM Technologies used:

• Databases for MongoDB;
