Solid waste is a direct contributor to climate change as it produces greenhouse gas emissions (methane & nitrous oxide) during decomposition source. One way to reduce solid waste and GHGs is to recycle and properly dispose of items which are no longer needed.

Our app aims to reduce the barrier to recycling by providing a convenient way to find out where and what can be recycled. The RecyclePro bot is different from other AI chatbots, because it's trained to provide unique answers to Metro Vancouver.
