  This paper describes the International Disruptive Information Solutions
hackathon and one the winning solutions. The purpose of the hackathon was to
promote the use of disruptive ICT technologies (e.g. IoT, Big data, AI,
blockchain) in urban infrastructures to create innovative waste management
solutions in a smart city context. 29 students enrolled into this hackathon and
in the end 4 teams submitted their solutions to the challenges. The winning
proposal EcoQ, an approach for plogging collecting trashes while jogging,
answered more than well to the presented challenge on waste management and
engagement. The original idea was extended and partly refocused during an
internship. As the outcome of the internship a mobile application for
organizing and holding waste collection events was developed. This mobile
application was shortly tested in a real environment and it provides a working
citizen-centric platform, which enables anyone to arrange waste management
events, and motivates other residents to participate in these activities.
