Ever wonder where to find the best places to donate or recycle materials you no longer need? Metro Vancouver has launched a free iPhone app called weRecycle<\/em> to help the regions residents reuse and recycle just about anything. weRecycle<\/em> provides mobile access to the same database used by Metro Vancouver’s award-winning website, www.MetroVancouverRecycles.org<\/a>. All you do is enter a material and hit search to find convenient donation and recycling locations. What makes weRecycle<\/em> unique is presenting that information in a user-friendly Google map.<\/p>\n

The searchable app includes dozens of material categories such as electronics, sport equipment, appliances, furniture, building materials and mattresses. To find facilities, simply enter the material you wish to donate or recycle. weRecycle will use either your iPhone’s current location or a location you specify to populate a list with the closest facilities that accept the material. Hit the Map icon for a Google map. Either interface will connect you with facility details.<\/p>\n

Once users select the most convenient location they’ll have the facility’s street address, phone number, hours of operation, type of service and other materials accepted.<\/p>\n

Download weRecycle from iTunes right now: http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/app\/werecycle\/id502866356?mt=8<\/a>
\nThere is no charge for facilities that wish to be included in Metro Vancouvers reuse and recycle database. Submissions can be made using the contact us tab in Metro Vancouver Recycles (www.metrovancouverrecycles.org<\/a>) or by sending an e-mail to recycle@metrovancouver.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
