## What is Recycle Right?

The Recycle Right app assists residents in the Perth metropolitan region and Avon Valley to understand which bin to put rubbish in, as well as providing drop-off locations for items that don’t belong in the kerbside bins.
 
*Which Bin – find out at a glance, what goes in which bin along with what doesn’t belong there and the correct methods of disposal.
 
* Materials A–Z – this searchable, extensive A–Z provides advice on which bin to put items in as well as great tips to re-use or recycle. The A–Z list allows users to choose the relevant list for their area, whether that’s 3-bin FOGO, 3-bin GO or 2 bin system.
 
* Find My Nearest – find your nearest drop off or recycling facility in Perth for items such as batteries, car parts, building/demolition waste, hazardous household waste and more.
 
*Bin Day Reminders – set reminders so that you never forget which bin goes out on what day for your area – no need to check which bins the neighbours have put out! Note: Currently, this feature is automatic for SMRC Member Councils (City of Fremantle, City of Kwinana, City of Melville and the Town of East Fremantle) and manual for other council in the Perth Metro area.

### 1/5 — But which Monday

*2024-12-01, version 5.1.7 (114)*

Doesn’t actually tell you which Monday is which bin therefore not useful at all

### 1/5 — Bin days

*2023-02-25, version 5.0.7*

Fogo - collected every Tuesday 
Recycling - collected every alternate Tuesday 
General - collected every alternate Tuesday 

Cool. So which one (recycling/general) is going out this Tuesday?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-09-13, version 5.0.7*

City of wanneroo isn’t in the system therefore you have to enter the dates so trying to found out what it is, all that for nothing.  
Great idea but doesn’t tell you the pick up day. So you have to find out the day then enter the days, then the app forgot everything and you have to start all over again for at the end realize that it’s still not recorded.🤬🤬🤬

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2020-02-22, version 5.0.2*

Very good app, especially if you are unsure what to do with some things like aerosol cans etc.
👍🏻

### 1/5 — Pathug50

*2019-10-19, version 4.2.2*

This is very much out of date. Many items that should go in the general (red lid) waste bin are referred to being suitable for the organic (green lid) bin.

### 5/5 — Freo now has FOGO’s

*2019-10-02, version 4.2.2*

Thanks for organising the FOGO 3bin system it’s great for everyone to have a go at making the world better.
One thing though update to make FOGO bin’s in Freo 
Showable👍😀

### 2/5 — Location

*2019-02-17, version 4.2.0*

App does not find my location and there is no way to manually set a location - so search function to find my nearest recycling centre for various items does not work.  Otherwise app is full of helpful information

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2018-10-09, version 4.1.6*

Great idea but what can go in the bins needs to be updated. Aerosols and soft plastics can no longer go in your commingled recycling bin.

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2018-06-21, version 4.1.6*

Like the idea of this app. Please fix the buggy back button in the Materials A - Z.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2018-05-09, version 4.1.6*

It is a great idea for an app but many of the functionalities do not work (at least on a iPhone).
