New iPhone App Helps You Recycle On the Go

Let’s face it: No matter how earth-smart you are, sometimes it’s hard to know what’s recyclable and what’s not. Add in the “I’m new in town,”  “I’ve never had to recycle this before,” or “I can’t get to my computer to check out if this is recyclable” factors, and you might be at a loss as to how to properly dispose of your stuff.

Don’t let these or other circumstances deter you on your green quest. If you’ve got an iPhone or iPod Touch, download the newest version of Earth911.com’s free, on-the-go recycling application, iRecycle®.

Now you can read the latest news and exclusive stories from Earth911 on iRecycle®.

iRecycle® makes it easy to find recycling locations anywhere in the U.S. Find places to drop-off your old cell phone (or water bottle or motor oil or… well, you get the idea), get directions and find out what else they accept. Additionally, now everything you love about Earth911.com – stories, events and our national recycling search – is available at the touch of a button. And did we mention it’s free?

Previously released this past spring, the newest version of the app incorporates a number of helpful features:

• Find local green events near you using our simple Events Search Tab.
• Don’t see anything in your area? Add events through iRecycle to spread the word about what’s happening in your neighborhood.
• Read the latest news, tips and features straight from Earth911.com, and stay in-the-know.
• Access hundreds of stories from Earth911.com. Article Search enables you to find information on the topics you’re interested in most.

And even though iRecycle® is new and improved, the same features from the previous version that you know and love are still available, including access to over 110,000 recycling and disposal locations for over 240 materials, directions to the nearest site based on your current location and auto-complete and search history to make your recycling searches quick and easy.
