Every week, millions of kilograms of waste are buried in landfill.
Landfill can create pollution and greenhouse gases.
Small actions taken by thousands of people can make a big difference.
Waste keeps growing
Waste can affect land and water
Landfill creates greenhouse gases.
Working together creates change.
Every device reading becomes part of a bigger challenge.
Your bin can be compared with your class, your school and eventually other communities.
The goal is to learn, improve and reduce landfill together.
Your device
Sends a bin fill reading.
Your class
Combines readings from nearby devices.
Your school
Shows progress across classrooms.
The community
Works together to reduce landfill.
Everything we throw in the landfill bin gets buried in the ground — and most of it stays there for a very long time. Landfill creates pollution and greenhouse gases that harm our land, water and air. The less we send to landfill, the better for everyone.
Buried waste can take hundreds of years to break down.
Food scraps in landfill release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Compost instead!
Things thrown in the wrong bin can't be recycled and end up buried.
Every small choice adds up. When thousands of students waste a little less each week, whole communities send less to landfill. Here's how you fight back.
Choose less packaging. Say no to things you don't need.
Give things a second life before throwing them away.
Sort waste into the right bin so materials can be used again.
Turn food scraps into soil instead of landfill gas.
Every small action helps reduce landfill.
Start by searching for a device, exploring the data and sharing what you learn with your class, school or community.
Together we can make better decisions and reduce waste.
