Paste a list of stuff; get recycle, donate, trash and hazardous piles.

What it does

Standing over a declutter pile? Paste what's in it into any chat AI. It sorts items into keep, donate/reuse, recycle, trash and household hazardous waste, following the EPA's reduce, reuse, recycle guidance, and reminds you to check your local rules for things like batteries, paint and electronics.

Copy-paste prompt

No bot needed: paste this into Grok, ChatGPT, or Claude.

I'm decluttering. Here's what's in the pile:
[paste or dictate the items]

Please sort everything into:
1. Keep (still useful to me)
2. Donate or reuse (still good for someone else)
3. Recycle (paper, cardboard, bottles, cans — if my local program takes them)
4. Trash
5. Household hazardous / special drop-off (batteries, paint, chemicals, some electronics)

For each group, give a short reason in plain words. Follow EPA reduce/reuse/recycle ideas: reuse and donate before trashing, and keep hazardous stuff out of regular trash.
Remind me to check my city or county recycling rules, because they vary.
Don't invent a drop-off address; tell me to search my local solid-waste or household hazardous waste page.
