About Waste Works

A casual resource clicker for the hoarder in you, or for your inner waste management system. Get some discarded products and recycle them by disassembling each item. Find out what is valuable, rare or not. Pocket any items worth saving, and equip special items to discover their properties and hidden bonuses to your attributes. At the end of the day, what matters is a sense of purpose, and perhaps a sweet cup of coffee together with fellow colleagues.

Waste Works is free, temperate regarding gamification, and contains no ads, and we want to keep it that way. No in-app purchases, no tracking, no network access.

Features

A conveyor belt that keeps bringing trash bags, artefacts (fridges, scooters, old gadgets) and organic waste

Disassemble items into their parts, and collect coins, rings and other valuables

Six recycling bins (paper, resin, glass, chemicals, fiber and clay) to fill and level up

Equip your worker with hats, gloves, boots, tools and more; each item has its own attributes, rarity and hidden bonuses

Upgrades: bigger work grids, faster conveyors, recycling certificates and robotic sorter arms that work for you

Outfit Saves: your outfit and backpack survive a reset

Music and sound effects, and a recycling manual for new workers

How to play

Drag unwanted waste back to an empty slot on the belt to get rid of it. Tap trash bags and artefacts on the board to disassemble them, and tap valuables to collect them. Drag resources to their matching bins. Keep the board and the belt from filling up: when there is no room left, parts fall off and cost you money.

Waste Works is in early development, so expect updates, and maybe a bug or two.
