About the game
Welcome! You are Dumptown's new City Manager! When you start to play, you'll see Dumptown at its worst — it's littered, polluted, and nothing is being recycled or reused. There are many trash cans and dumpsters, but no recycling bins. That means all of the trash is going right into the landfill just outside town, where it isn't doing anyone any good.
In your new position, you can start programs that encourage Dumptown's citizens and businesses to recycle and reduce waste.
You have 10 programs to work with. Each time you try out a new one, you can see immediately how the Dumptown landscape changes. You also see how much waste you are saving from going into the landfill.
Oh, and because the people of Dumptown are paying for these programs, we've given you a way to keep track of how much money you're spending on their behalf. (That way, you won't lose your job by going too far over budget.)
If you haven't looked around Dumptown yet, do it now before you start the game. Then, roll up your sleeves and get to work turning Dumptown into Recycle City!
