Recovery intelligence platform
Make recovery easier to use.
SheRecycles helps people locate and verify real-world battery, e-waste, and clean-tech recovery pathways.
Recovery Map
Start with the recovery map
Open the live map when you need to recycle batteries, e-waste, solar, or other recovery streams. The point is simple: show what is nearby and whether it is actually usable.

Field Insights
What we're seeing on the ground
Field checks turn a recycling directory into something people can trust at the moment they need to act.
Most recovery points require extra effort to access
Over half of mapped sites need searching to find — they exist, but aren't visible in the normal flow of daily movement.
Visibility strongly affects whether people actually recycle
Sites that are easy to notice get used. Sites that require you to ask, search, or enter a restricted area often don't.
Many locations exist — but are hard to find
Sydney has a growing network of recovery points, yet most are tucked away, inside buildings, or invisible without prior knowledge.
Signage and placement matter more than infrastructure alone
Even well-equipped sites underperform when the bin is hidden and staff can't point people in the right direction.
The Process
How SheRecycles works
Search the map, check the field signals, and help improve the recovery point data for everyone after you use it.
Find the nearest option
Start with the material and area you care about, then open the live recovery map.
Check if it will work
Compare visibility, access, signage, and confidence before you make the trip.
Improve the next visit
Send feedback when a site is hidden, confusing, closed, or easier than expected.
Fieldwork
Fieldwork that improves recovery points
UNSW students tested how recycling actually feels in public spaces: where bins are visible, where instructions are missing, and what signage could make drop-off faster.
