Hey everyone, a quick note that I have received a press release from Earth911.com and I am happy to report that they have a new mobile iPhone application called “iRecycle“!  The application allows you to pretty much do everything that you can do on their website search engine with some added features.  Check it out!

iPhone App Makes Local Recycling Easy and Convenient

When it comes to recycling and properly disposing of your trash, knowing is half the battle. The other half is actually getting your stuff to where it needs to go – whether it’s in a curbside collection program, a retail drop-off point or a hazardous waste event. With iRecycle, a new iPhone app from Earth911.com, you’re equipped for all stages of reducing your waste: knowing what you can recycle and where you can take it in your neighborhood.

Compatible with both iPhone and iTouch, iRecycle brings you Earth911.com’s national, comprehensive database of over 100,000 recycling and proper disposal locations for over 200 products at the touch of a button. Whether you need to recycle motor oil and CFLs in San Francisco or rechargeable batteries and paint in Washington, DC, iRecycle can connect you with real, local options.

Simply start typing what you’ve got, select your location and get instant access to the nearest recycling and proper disposal spots near you:

• Auto-complete makes searches quick and effective
• Get directions to the nearest site from your current location
• Find additional information like hours of operation, other materials accepted (maybe you can recycle all those plastic bags from under your kitchen sink), their Web site, etc.
• Check your search history to replay old search results –also functions on iTouch when an Internet connection is not available
• Call locations directly from search results if you need more information

Wherever you are, iRecycle keeps you connected to your green efforts. Even when you’re travelling or in a new city, you’ll never be without the knowledge of where to take your electronics, water bottles, car batteries, tires, eyeglasses… well, you get the point.

At Earth911.com, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to make recycling easy. With iRecycle, you can use your powers for good – not waste.
