'Track My Trash' 

Track My Trash is a simple Exeter-based app that gives you rewards every time you recycle. Simply scan the barcode of anything you are about to throw away, and the app will tell you exactly what makes it up. Then follow the map in the app to the corresponding recycling bin. Once there, scan the QR code on the bin and this will give you in-app points. These points can then be redeemed at any of the University outlets in the form of vouchers. The app will also be full of information about how to best recycle and fun quizzes about the environment which can also generate you points.
