Details

The full picture

Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.

01

What the game is

Recycled is a calm first-person game released October 18, 2026 at $1.79.

You clear a landfill one piece at a time.

There is no timer, no enemy and no way to fail.

The loop is pick up, take apart, sort into the correct bin, and press full bins into bales.

02

Four towers of trash

In the middle of the yard stand four towers built from 34,027 pieces of trash.

Each has a theme: the Packaging Tower, the Kitchen Tower, the Bulky Junk Tower and the Electronics Tower.

Contents range from garbage bags, pizza boxes, bottles and jars to microwaves, toasters, old televisions and phones, office chairs, bicycles, jackets and teddy bears.

Every piece was dropped and left to settle with physics, so each one lies where it landed.

03

Physics and structure

Everything you can see can be picked up.

Pull something from the bottom and whatever rested on it slides and tumbles down.

Every tower has a foot, a slope and a summit.

Clearing one rings a bell, and clearing the whole tower earns a star.

04

Sorting and co-op

Your bag holds 20 items, while bigger things are carried in your hands or thrown.

Each row of bins has its own rules, so sorting is the puzzle layer.

You can play alone or with up to three friends.

At $1.79 it is a cheap, deliberately stress-free cleanup game.
