iRecycle iPhone App
Answers to all your recycling questions
Recycling in Ann Arbor is getting
easier each year. With single-stream recycling introduced in 2010, recycling
bins in the Diag as of 2011, and last week’s announcement of a change in plastics labeling that will help
eliminate confusion among recyclers, recycling is easier than ever.
But what about those materials
that you’re still not sure how or where to recycle? Wouldn’t it be nice if
there was one place to look, where all your recycling questions could be
answered?
At last! The iRecycle app by Earth911, Inc. answers all your “Is this recyclable?” and “Where do I recycle this?” questions.
This FREE app found at the iTunes Store and can be used with the latest
versions of the iPhone and iPad and was created to tell you how, when, and
where to recycle just about anything. The app is extremely user-friendly and
also allows you to share your enthusiasm about recycling through social media
sites. And did I mention it's FREE?
Through the iRecycle app, you’ll
find that Washtenaw County Home ToxicsCenter, located in Ann Arbor, will take your used chemistry sets, oil-based
paints and paint thinners, lighter fluid, full aerosol cans, and more. BabyEarth RENEW, located in Texas, has a
mail-in program accepting strollers, car seats, swings, jumpers, high chairs,
and diaper bags and uses old parts in new construction projects. And Terracycle’s mail-in program accepts a
wide range of previously non-recyclable waste including candy wrappers, energy
bar wrappers, drink pouches, and shoes.
The list goes on, but the point
is: from yoga mats to surf boards, batteries to bricks, there’s a second life out
there for most of our trash. Get the iRecycle app and find your waste a better home.
