You can search for "Jingcai Recycling" (京彩回收) on WeChat or in Jingtong (an app) to access the service.

After logging into the WeChat mini-program, you just need to tap "Recyclables Pick-up" (可回收物交投) to locate nearby smart recycling stations, with a navigation function to help you plan your routes. The mini-program also offers appointment-based door-to-door recycling services for elderly users and people with limited mobility. Standard recycling prices are listed in the mini-program (0.8 yuan/kg for paper, 1 yuan/kg for metal, 0.8 yuan/kg for plastics and 0.5 yuan/kg for textiles). You can choose one or more categories when booking. For even greater convenience, you can pack all your recyclables together in one bag, in which case the price will be 0.5 yuan/kg. Simply fill in your address on the mini-program, select the categories to recycle, and tap the button for appointment (预约下单), then you can just wait for the waste to be collected right at your doorstep.

The mini-program also supports appointments for bulky waste collection, including sofas, mattresses and wardrobes. All you need to do is tap "Appointment for Bulky Waste" (大件垃圾预约), fill in your address, and then sit back and wait for a professional staff worker to arrive. Please note that the collection price will vary depending on the types of bulky waste.

Construction waste and discarded panels generated from home renovations or remodeling can also be scheduled for doorstep pick-up through the mini-program.

Once you have successfully made an appointment, you can view your order details in the "Orders" (订单) section, including the content and the contact person of the service provider. You can also get in touch with the responsible recycling company to discuss the exact pick‑up time, collection price, and other details.
