Waste Sorting

Waste Sorting is a single-player puzzle game inspired by pipe games from the 1980s and 1990s. You turn or switch pipes to make a route from start to finish, guiding each trash tile to the correct trash can. Across 80 puzzles in four worlds, you sort 25 types of waste into five corresponding cans.

Pipe puzzles

Rotate straight and curved pipes, and plan around blocks. Crossroads and double curves cannot be rotated. You can also route trash through teleporters and switch pipes, or use auto-pipes that turn every tile the trash moves across. Some puzzles have double trash: send it through a separator, then complete two routes at the same time.

Four puzzle worlds

• The trash world: the easiest levels introduce the gameplay, trash cans and trash parts.
• The pipe world: learn more pipe mechanics step by step.
• The link world: connected pipes turn together, so turning one also turns its partner.
• The pause world: click pipes to queue rotations, which stay paused until you press the go button. Plan your route while keeping track of your clicks.

Waste Sorting also teaches critical thinking, problem solving, cognitive rotation, waste sorting and creativity.
