Cut contamination. Cut resident calls. Prove your program works.

EarthSort gives your residents instant, photo-based recycling answers tied to your local rules, and gives your team the data to show what's working, without a manual waste audit.

The three pains we hear most

"Every other call is 'what bin does this go in?'"

Residents get self-service answers from a photo, in their language. The questions that don't need a human stop reaching your team.

"We can't prove our education is actually working."

EarthSort shows which materials confuse your residents most and how that changes over time. Real behavioral evidence for SB 54 and EPR reporting, without paying for a manual waste audit.

"We don't have budget for new bins or staff."

EarthSort adds no infrastructure and no headcount. A co-branded program layers on top of what you already run.

One platform, three ways to engage

Pricing scales with your community, not metered per resident. Let's find the plan that fits your program.

Resident app

Who we work with

Cities & haulers

Reduce contamination at the point of disposal with guidance tied to your provider's rules. See what materials cause the most confusion in your community. Co-branded or embedded, no new infrastructure. Because EarthSort follows the resident's location, one deployment gives the right answer across every jurisdiction in your county, and even when residents travel.

Evidence a barcode can't capture

EarthSort works from a photo, not a barcode, so it sees real items at the real moment of disposal, including the unlabeled and contaminated items that barcode tools miss entirely. That's the resident-side evidence PROs and producers need to show education is working, at a fraction of the cost of a manual audit.

Our goal: help every resident know how to recycle what they're holding, and help California reach SB 54's 65% recycling target.

Your privacy, in plain language

When a resident snaps a photo, EarthSort uses it to identify the item and give the right disposal answer.
