A visual guide tool to help you and your team sort common items into the right bins. Create custom "flow charts" showing where everyday items should go.


What It Does

The Bags to Bins tool helps you create visual sorting guides showing:

  • Common items from your specific setting (office, restaurant, school, etc.)
  • Which bin each item goes in (recycling, compost, garbage)
  • Clear images to make sorting easy

Who Uses It

  • Property Managers - Create guides for residents showing where common household items go.
  • Businesses - Train employees on proper sorting for your specific waste streams.
  • Schools - Educate students with age-appropriate visuals for cafeteria waste.
  • Event Planners - Set up clear sorting guidance for events and gatherings.

Tips for Success

Customize for Your Setting

Different facilities generate different waste. A restaurant's guide will look different from an office building's.

Post Where Decisions Happen

Place guides:

  • Above bin stations
  • In break rooms and kitchens
  • Near high-traffic disposal areas

Keep It Visual

Images work better than text for quick sorting decisions.
