D.Waste vs EarthSort

DWaste is the simple app that takes the guesswork out of recycling. Just scan any item with your phone, and our AI instantly tells you exactly where it goes recycling, compost, trash, or special drop-off. It’s fast, free, and even rewards you with points and discounts for recycling correctly. Turn a confusing chore into an easy win for you and the planet.

Same item. Different city. Different bin. Recycling rules change block by block, and the label on the package will not tell you which bin you are standing in front of. EarthSort will. POINT. SNAP. KNOW. Take a photo of any item. EarthSort identifies the material with AI, checks it against your local recycling provider's actual rules, and gives you one clear answer: recycling, compost, or trash. WHY EARTHSORT Your city's rules, not generic advice. EarthSort matches your location to your actual hauler or municipal provider. Move, travel, or visit family and the guidance follows you. No labels required. The chasing arrows symbol is not a promise that something is recyclable. EarthSort identifies what an item is actually made of, so misleading packaging does not decide for you. More than which bin. Some things do not belong in any curbside cart. When an item needs a special drop-off, EarthSort links you straight to the program that handles it, from mattress take-back to plastic film collection, so you know where it actually goes. Built for real items. Coffee cups, clamshells, pizza boxes, batteries, bubble mailers. The things people genuinely get wrong. Available in English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese, with more languages on the way. Free. No ads. No account required to scan. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open EarthSort and snap a photo of the item. 2. The AI identifies the material and checks your local provider's rules. 3. You get a clear answer, plus the reasoning behind it. 4. Tap thumbs up or thumbs down to help improve accuracy for everyone in your area. WHY IT MATTERS One wrong item can contaminate an entire load, and contaminated loads end up in landfill. Getting it right at the bin is the single highest leverage moment in the recycling system, and it takes about three seconds. FOR CITIES AND PARTNERS EarthSort is built to support producer funded recycling education under laws like California SB 54 and Oregon's Recycling Modernization Act, including multilingual access requirements.
