User reviews

Thank you.

I love to think outside of the box when it comes to recycling, reusing and repurposing. I’d love to talk recycling with you if you are interested. Also, is this app linked with any recycling organizations or anything of that nature? Non-profits? Just curious.

Good idea, could be improved

This is a great idea, but it would be much more helpful if you could search the numbers instead of having to swipe through 90 to get to the one you want to see

Only has pages of recycle #’s

Right now this app only has recycle #, what type of item it is based on recycle #, and what color bin the recycle item goes in. Unclear if this app is for a specific location. You swipe each page to see the different numbers. Fine for learning recycle #’s.
