What's New in EarthSort

2.6

August 13, 2026

Version 2.6 sharpens the answers and adds something new to the scan itself. Recycling tips as you scan. Short, practical tips now appear right in the scan flow, so you pick up something useful every time you use the app. Links straight to the programs that take the item. When something needs a special drop-off, EarthSort points you to the group that actually handles it, like Bye Bye Mattress for mattresses or Plastic Film Recycling for bags and wrap. You find out where it goes, not just that it does not belong in your bin. Clearer hazardous and special item guidance. Batteries, paint, electronics and similar items are now flagged separately from regular special handling, so dangerous items do not end up in the wrong bin. Clearer messages when your connection drops. If you lose signal, EarthSort tells you exactly what happened and what to do next. Smaller fixes. Confirmation before you log out, more reliable thumbs up and thumbs down on results, correct empty states in Spanish and Simplified Chinese, plus stability and performance improvements throughout. Every thumbs up and thumbs down goes straight into improving accuracy for your area. Keep them coming.

Recycle with confidence

EarthSort takes the guess work out of recycling. If I have a question about an item I just hold up my phone and recycle with confidence or discard with a clean conscience!

Great tool to learn more about how to recycle things

Love the simple and intuitive interface that even my kids can use to learn how to properly dispose of things. Finally see AI helping us instead of just be in the doomsday headlines. I look forward to updates to help us find recycling resources around us.
