Betterbin Is Designed To Educate Consumers About Recycling, Composting In Their Cities
A Wisconsin-made smartphone app that helps people recycle better and track their composting is expanding its reach.
Michelle Goetsch launched Betterbin in May 2018. The Wausau-based company`s app allows people in participating communities to scan barcodes on groceries and household products to find out whether or not the items can be recycled where they live.
Recycling rules can vary a lot from place to place and what is recyclable isn`t always intuitive. In many cities, for example, cardboard milk cartons and the plastic containers used for fruits aren`t recyclable — even though the products likely have the three-arrow recycling symbol on their side.
