Read full description

Point your camera at something and Scrapped tells you which bin it goes in. Recycle, compost, or garbage. It runs on your phone. You don't need an account or internet, and no photo leaves your device. A plastic container is recycling if it's rigid and rinsed, garbage if it's a bag or a wrapper or covered in grease. Scrapped asks you instead of guessing.
