The 12th Bin: Seattle Composting

Are you a Seattle resident wondering exactly which bin - Trash, Recycling, or Compost - you should toss <insert household item> into?

We were in your shoes too! So we built this nifty app...

Next time, rather than wondering, or worse, simply closing your eyes and tossing into the nearest bin (oh the horrors!), simply go to https://the-12th-bin.herokuapp.com. Select a product from the easy navigation options and within seconds you'll know which bin you can toss your item into, guilt-free.

Built in team of three over four days using JavaScript, Express, and MongoDB, we're pretty pleased with how it turned out!
