Safe recycling

How Tiptapp ensures correct and transparent recycling of waste

All recycling is verified

When it comes to recycling, we want to make sure it's done right and that all waste picked up through Tiptapp ends up where it's supposed to – at the recycling centers. 

To guarantee this, we have something we call verified recycling, which consists of these checkpoints.

Timestamp

We make sure the waste is dropped of during RCC opening hours

GPS coordinates

Tracks where items were picked up and dropped off

Photo proof

Images of each step of the recycling process

Control & approve

All recycling is controlled before payment is made

Verified recycling consists of three checkpoints

Users who have picked up waste need to take a photo of all items at the pick-up location and at the recycling center, both before and after disposal. The images are saved and uploaded along with geo-coordinates and the current timestamp.

This shows us that all the items from the ad have arrived at an approved recycling center during the opening hours. All recycling is checked both automatically and manually by our support team. If any of these steps are not followed or are mismatching, the user making the drop off is blocked and contacted to provide the missing information. No payments are made until the verification is complete.

Our vision of better recycling

With just a few clicks, we make it easy for you to get rid of waste and get it recycled properly. By connecting users who need help with others who have access to a car or trailer, we use society's resources in a smarter and more efficient way. This reduces the number of individual trips to recycling centers, which in turn reduces the number of cars on the road and unnecessary emissions.

In addition to verifying all recycling, we also want to ensure that our users have the right knowledge about proper recycling according to local regulations. Therefore, we offer clear guidelines on how to sort and handle recyclable materials. We also work with municipal waste companies and recycling facilities to promote responsible recycling and provide convenient options for all residents to get rid of their waste.
