Round two of proper waste segregation in gaming format: the new online game Garbage Grab

How do proper waste separation and speed relate to each other? Often when litter boxes, waste, and toys get together. In the second electronic game of the “Waste Separation Works” initiative, players compete against time to separate waste correctly. “'Garbage Grab' is a game of skill that requires focus, speed and drills,” Explains Axel Sobklio, spokesperson for the “Waste Separation Works” initiative. “The challenge of our new browser game: players have to decide how to properly dispose of different waste and then react quickly to collect it in the correct bin. This is fun for the whole family and at the same time provides knowledge on how to properly dispose of waste. Waste separation.”

Your shampoo bottle should never end up in the trash!

This is how the game works: As soon as the game starts, empty shampoo bottles, old newspapers, bags of potato chips and other trash fall from top to bottom. It must be collected using the correct bin. On the left edge of the image are yellow bins, waste paper bins, organic waste bins and glass containers for separating waste. However, the correct bin must be selected as quickly as possible and pulled into the waste drop before it incorrectly ends up in the waste left at the bottom of the screen – and is therefore lost to recycling. But be careful, and please allow waste such as diapers or very dirty pizza boxes to pass through! They belong in the trash. Points are awarded for all correctly designated wastes. If the task is incorrect, negative points will be awarded. With each level reached, the level of difficulty increases, the amount and speed of “falling” garbage increases, as well as the number of boxes that need to be filled. Once he passes the level, he says: “Great! You've managed to sort a lot of rubbish and you know what you're doing! With the right waste separation, you're contributing to climate protection.”

Like Trash Crush, the browser game Garbage Grab is easy to play on all internet-connected devices. Both games are available to all users for free and without ads on the Garbage Separation Works initiative website.

Learn how to separate waste – to become faster

By the way: If you learn this basic rule for proper waste separation, you can fully focus on speed and skill in the game: All empty containers that are not made of paper, cardboard, cardboard or glass belong in the yellow trash can or the yellow bag. These include, for example, containers made of plastic, aluminium, tin or composite materials such as cardboard drinks cartons. Paper, cardboard and cardboard are collected in paper waste, and disposable glass containers without residue are sorted by color and collected in glass containers.

Proper waste separation makes children play

The Garbage Separation Business initiative is planning another online game this year. The aim of the new game series is to impart knowledge about proper waste segregation in a fun, interesting and contemporary way. Children and young people should feel as drawn to it as adults of all ages. Because about 30 percent of the waste collected in yellow bins and bags doesn't belong there. These “mistakes” make it more difficult, and sometimes impossible, to recycle properly disposed of empty containers. Conversely, packaging that is improperly thrown into the trash is lost forever as recyclable material.
