ANOKA, Minn. – (July 19, 2018) – A new mobile app that informs users how to properly manage waste and other unwanted items is now available for smartphones and tablets. “Anoka County Recycles” is the name of the app. Anoka County Recycling & Resource Solutions launched the app to make recycling information more user-friendly and readily accessible when you’re on-the-go.
The app mirrors the Recycling and Disposal Directory found on the Anoka County website (anokacounty.us/recycle.) Users search for the item they want to dispose of, and the app will tell them whether the item should be reused, recycled, composted, or thrown in the garbage. For items that can be recycled at drop-off locations but not in curbside recycling, such as electronics, the app provides a list of convenient locations with contact details.
The app is available for Apple and Android devices.
