Track your trash and reduce your trash footprint
Tell Me More

Overview

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated an average of 4.38 lbs. of trash per person every day in 2012. While some trash can be combusted for energy, about 2.9 lbs. of trash are discarded in landfills per person per day, which is highly toxic to the environment and can take hundreds of years to degrade. Our goal is to increase personal awareness and help people reduce their waste footprint over time.
