See it in action
A 90-second walkthrough: scan an item, get the verdict, watch the streak climb.
Recycling, minus the second-guessing
Built for the moment you’re standing over the bin, holding something confusing.
Scan, don't Google
Point your camera at any item and Sortie returns the right bin in seconds — material, verdict, and prep steps included.
Your town's actual rules
Recycling rules change block to block. Sortie filters by your municipality so the answer is right where you live, not in general.
See your impact add up
An SVG donut breaks down items by bin, with CO₂ and landfill saved — proof that the little choices stack into something real.
Find the special drop-offs
Batteries, electronics, and textiles don't belong curbside. A stylized map pins the nearest spots with hours and distance.
Build a recycling streak
A hand-drawn flame counts your sorting days. Streaks turn good intentions into a habit you actually keep.
Learn the common mistake
Every verdict flags the slip-up that contaminates a whole batch — greasy pizza box, capped bottle, dirty jar — so you never repeat it.
