Mount Prospect launches Recycle Coach
For residents looking to reduce their household waste and become better recyclers, look no further than the Recycle Coach app - now available in Mount Prospect.
"Mount Prospect is excited to join the Recycle Coach network, which will transform how we communicate local collection, waste, and recycling information to our residents. Beyond that, the platform includes engagement and educational tools to help people manage and correctly dispose of their waste," said Kristina Jakupovic, administrative superintendent at village of Mount Prospect Public Works Department.
Residents can access Recycle Coach from their desktop computers, mobile devices, or through digital assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
By leveraging the power of voice technology, the platform makes it easy for people to get local disposal information for thousands of household items when they need it. The best part: it's free. With Recycle Coach, residents can:
• Stay organized with custom curbside collection and events calendars
• Receive collection reminders and real-time updates on service disruptions
• Become recycling experts with a comprehensive "What Goes Where?" search tool, including local disposal information and collection requirements for common and uncommon items
• Take the "What Type of Recycler Are You?" quiz for useful recycling tips and tricks
"Ultimately, the service takes the guesswork out of recycling, empowering residents to make smarter disposal decisions and take an active approach to reducing household waste. For Mount Prospect, this will translate into higher recycling rates and less contamination in our recycling stream - a win-win for everyone," said Jakupovic.
Become a better recycler today by downloading the Recycle Coach app for free at the iTunes Store and Google Play, or you can access the Recycle Coach widget on the village's website.
