Understand technology.
Extend its life.
Recycle it responsibly.
Follow a safety-first path for an old device, find source-labelled nearby services, and learn what is inside the technology you use.

Make the safest useful choice.
This transparent rule-based guide explains why it suggests a path. It is not a remote repair diagnosis.
Battery safety: do not put damaged, swollen, leaking, or hot lithium-ion batteries in household waste, puncture them, or attempt to open them. Keep away from flammable materials and contact an authorized collection service or local authority.
Find a place
Search mapped services, transparently.
Results come live from OpenStreetMap’s Overpass service. A map record is not proof of every accepted item: confirm hours, acceptance and battery rules with the service before travel.
Ready to search.We never create facility records or acceptance claims ourselves.

Explore data
Source before statistic.
This visualisation uses the Global E-waste Monitor 2024 global totals, with values labelled as reported estimates. It is a small, documented starting point—not a live measurement.
Global e-waste generated (Mt)
Source: UNITAR/ITU, Global E-waste Monitor 2024. 2030 is a published projection.
Read the data responsibly
Totals are global estimates and should not be used to infer a local facility’s capacity or an individual action’s impact.
- Dataset, variables and limitations: data documentation
- Reproducible data and ML approach: ML documentation
- Data sources remain distinct from service-directory records.
AI / tools
Useful tools, honest limits.
The recommendation guide is intentionally rules-based. Image identification requires a documented, evaluated model before it can make a prediction; this site does not label uploaded images without one.
Device identification
Manual category correction is always available. No image is uploaded or retained by this static application.
Study assistant
Ask a question about the published ReduCycle lessons. Responses use the local lesson material and do not claim external verification.
Model transparency
Before classification launches, we will publish its dataset, split, preprocessing, baseline, evaluation and limitations. Do not infer model performance from this interface.

Practical public service, documented honestly.
ReduCycle began as an IB CAS project. It combines device-life guidance with technology education without invented partnerships, locations or impact claims.
