How It Works

The Earth911 Recycling Search adds the search function of the nation’s largest and most accurate recycling directory to any platform or application such as websites, social media, mobile apps, devices/consoles or phone numbers. Earth911 Recycling Searches are powered by the Earth911 Recycling Directory API, the same data that drives the search functions of Earth911.comiRecycle, and the 1-800-CLEANUP® environmental hotline.

The Earth911 team works with companies to customize a Recycling Search with complete product recycling profiles, breaking down all relevant materials (i.e., plastic #5, aluminum) for each product and package. Once conceptualized, the Earth911 development team can provide any level of support from enabling an API key for access by a company’s in-house IT team to complete custom development and support on any platform or application.
