How it works

Being a WASTED neighbour is easy and also beneficial for both you and your neighbourhood

To get started, first you need to SUBSCRIBE to the WASTED website by creating an account for you or your household. It only takes a moment. Just fill out the form and soon after subscribing you will receive a Start-up Kit equipped with 12 WASTED trash bags, a beautiful poster about how the process works and all the information needed for separating your plastic, paper and textile. Don't forget to download a QR code scanning application for iPhone or Android.

Did you receive your Start-up Kit already? Congratulations, you are now an official WASTED neighbor and can start collecting WASTED coins.

Once you’ve collected a full bag of either plastic, paper or textile, you can bring it to the nearest standard recycling container. Before throwing your bag, REMEMBER to scan the QR code on the container by using the QR scanning application on your smartphone. After scanning it you will be asked to upload the picture of your full WASTED bag. Take a picture, press upload and throw the bag into the container. Soon your coins will be added to your account. This is the backbone of our system. If you don’t scan the code and send us a picture, we cannot provide you with a coin. To check where the container closest to you is, refer to our map here.
