Recycling Shift
Steam
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.

🌞 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.
