Lafayette Teen Hopes New App Will Help Us Recycle

You've probably found yourself asking "Can this go in the recycling bin?" Well thanks to a new app called ReDetect you'll be able to find out if that plastic bag can be reused or needs to hit the garbage can. The idea is simple, scan an item using your phone's camera and it will indicate whether it's trash or recyclable. The app was designed by a 16 year old attending a high school in Lafayette and also won the Congressional App Challenge which is meant to inspire middle and high school students to create change in the world with technology.
