Recycling in my building is vetted by an angry old man who knows exactly what to do with Tetra Pak, then loudly berates anyone who doesn’t get it right.

For those of you who don’t have such a helpful neighbor there’s Recycler. Siavash Ghamaty developed a free iPhone app that helps you keep track of what plastic recyclables are allowed in your local pickup.

San Diego-based Ghamaty says he developed it “to remind myself of what items I can throw into my recycling and which just don’t go.”

It looks pretty no-frills, but it could save some headaches.
