About This Game

Welcome to the Recycling Shift—where one person’s trash is your next paycheck.

Recycling Shift is a cozy, tactile job simulator where you work at a bustling recycling facility. With items flying in on the conveyor belt, it’s your job to sort, salvage, and maybe even sneak a few valuables out for a little side hustle on the black market.

From plastic bottles to worn-out electronics, every shift is a hands-on experience. Pick through the mess, tidy up the planet, and upgrade your setup to become the most efficient sorter the world’s ever seen.

♻️ Core Gameplay
• Drag and drop discarded items into the correct bins: Glass, Paper, Metal, Plastic, Textiles, Batteries, and Electronics.
• Watch out for biodegradable scraps too—compost them to earn bonus eco-points.
• Sell rare or valuable junk to earn extra cash on the side... just don’t get caught.

🛠️ Mini-Games & Maintenance
• Keep the machines humming with interactive minigames: tighten bolts, clean filters, align gears, reconnect wires, and more.
• Sort bottles by cap color—green is good, red is trash!

🌞 Day & Night Shifts
• Clock in for different shifts and face changing item types, speeds, and challenges.
• Night shifts might just bring some... unusual materials.

🌍 Eco-Impact System
• Track your progress with the Eco-Impact Meter. Feel good knowing your work makes a difference (and maybe earns a bonus too).
• Avoid contamination by staying sharp—trash in the wrong bin ruins your streak!

💼 Upgrade & Expand
• Earn money to unlock better tools, faster machines, and smarter sorting tech.
• Turn your humble work station into a streamlined recycling empire.

Trash or treasure? It's all in a day's shift.
