What is Recycling Center Simulator?

This first-person management sim puts you in charge of a recycling factory. You negotiate to buy waste, collect it from sites, sort it by material, and make products to sell as you expand the factory.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy hands-on collection and sorting in job sims
  • +you like growing a factory through production and sales
  • +you prefer a relaxed single-player management routine

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer instead of a solo business sim
  • −you prefer automation over gathering waste by hand

What players say

83% of 2,678 reviews are positive · 64% of 14 in the last 30 days

Players praise the early routine of collecting, sorting, and expanding the factory. Many say it grows repetitive later, with limited endgame goals and awkward conveyor automation; some also report bugs.
