Earth911 Releases iPhone App

Need to recycle on the go? Earth911’s new iPhone app, iRecycle, allows users to pinpoint the nearest location to recycle specific items.

The app has more than 100,000 recycling locations for more than 200 materials in its database. Released on May 8, iRecycle has already been downloaded in 13 countries…in just one weekend!

Available for free download, iRecycle can pull up local recycling locations using GPS, so an address isn’t needed. Along with the location’s basic information, iRecycle also gives a detailed list of all items accepted for recycling, the location’s hours and contact information and can even give you turn-by-turn directions.

The user-friendly interface has an auto-complete feature to speed up your search. You can also dial the location directly from the app.

iRecycle is your destination for easy, on-the-go recycling. The only thing it doesn’t do is chauffeur you to the location itself. But we’re working on that.

    Recycling on the go? sounds good to me! Now if only more people had an iphone and more people cared about recycling…

    Its still a step in the right direction, to say the least.
