Environmental Facts

FAQ — Waste Tracking & TrashCount

What is a waste tracking tool?

A waste tracking tool lets you record what you throw away or recycle, then turns those numbers into CO₂, water and energy estimates. This makes invisible environmental impact visible and helps you decide where to reduce first.

How can I reduce plastic waste quickly?

Track your plastic for a week, then swap the biggest sources: reusable bottles, food containers and shopping bags. Avoid individually wrapped items where possible and choose products with simple, recyclable packaging.

Is TrashCount free to use?

Yes. This site is completely free, runs in your browser, and does not require a login. Future versions may add optional premium dashboards for schools, companies and cities.
