The City of Wood Dale Launches Recycle Coach
March 6, 2026—For residents looking to reduce their household waste and become better recyclers, look no further than the Recycle Coach app—now available in Wood Dale!
The City of Wood Dale is excited to join the Recycle Coach network, which will transform how we communicate local collection, waste, and recycling information to our residents. Beyond that, the platform includes engagement and educational tools to help people manage and correctly dispose of their waste.
Residents can access Recycle Coach from their desktop computers and mobile devices. These platforms make it easy for people to get local disposal information for thousands of household items when they need it. And the best part: it’s absolutely free.
With Recycle Coach, residents can:
- Stay organized with custom curbside collection, street sweeping, and events calendars
- Receive collection reminders and real-time updates on service disruptions
- Become recycling experts with a comprehensive "What Goes Where?" search tool, including local disposal information and collection requirements for common and uncommon items
- Take the “We Wanted to Know” weekly quizzes for useful recycling tips and tricks
- Use the problem-reporting tool, equipped with geolocation, to notify Public Works about issues like missed collections
Ultimately, the service takes the guesswork out of recycling, empowering residents to make smarter disposal decisions and take an active approach to reducing household waste. For Wood Dale, this will translate into higher recycling rates and less contamination in our recycling stream—a win-win for everyone!
Become a better recycler today by downloading the Recycle Coach app for free in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
