Living in an environmentally responsible manner is no longer something that is merely fashionable. It is an absolute must for every thinking member of the society. The evidence on the way human activities cause trouble to the eco-system is directly linked to the simple fact that we must consider what world we want to leave to our children, right?
o, properly conducting junk removals and other waste management-related tasks at your home is the logical thing to do. Recycling is something that you should definitely take up. It is neither that hard nor time consuming, so you have no excuse. We bet you already know the basic principles of recycling, but there is nothing wrong with checking out in what ways global technology can help you in the process as well. Check out those free recycling apps that will make your life much easier (and more environmentally responsible as well):
- iRecycle is the brainchild of Earth911 – an organization dedicated to teaching people around the world about the dangers that human activities bring to the environment and how they can be fought in the most efficient way. iRecycle is an app that you can download on your phone and then use to see where the closest recycling depots in your area are, as well as the optimal route on which to reach them, alongside some other basic and useful info.
- com similarly employs a GPS tracking system in order to determine your current location and find the nearest place where you can bring your items for recycling. Have in mind that the app works only for the territory of the US and Canada, but stay tuned, because the creators promise global coverage at some point in the future as well.
- Daily Life Recycling:Plastics is an Android app that serves a rather noble purpose. If you are wondering which of the items that are currently at your home are proper for recycling, you can ask the app. The version of the app that we offer you works mainly for different kinds of plastic, giving you ideas on how to dispose of them in an environment-friendly manner. It is a much needed program, first because different types of plastic require different treatment, and second because plastic accounts to as much as 10 percent of all rubbish that a person accumulates for a lifetime.
- Eco-Smart: Recycling Made Easy is another great app you should try out if you are looking for a way to optimize your recycling process. It has been coded in such a way as to emulate the old-school multi-colored recycling bins you are probably quite familiar with. Eco-Smart is pretty useful because it will tell you on spot if the piece of rubbish you have is recyclable or not, just like the labels of the aforementioned multi-colored boxes. The creators of the app were inspired by a study that showed if a person has a handy access to an information about which items are recyclable and which are not, the said person would be more stimulated to actually recycle trash. Eco-Smart is going to be a valuable addition to your Android phone software.
