CORRECT SORTING = POINTS

Sorting items into the correct bin awards 10 points × your current combo multiplier. Incorrect sorting breaks your combo.

BIN CAPACITY

Each bin can hold 5 items. When full, the bin glows green and displays "FULL". You cannot add more items until the bin is emptied.

DRAG FULL BINS

When a bin is full, tap and drag it upward to the corresponding machine (Shredder, Grinder, or Crusher) to empty it.

PLASTIC GRINDER (Center)

Processes plastic bottles. Drag a full plastic bin to the grinder. It will process for 5 seconds with mechanical grinding sounds.
