The city mapThe Recycle City Main Map is a map of the entire city. It's pretty small, so the details are hard to make out. To zoom in for a closer look, go to the main map, and click on one of the four neighborhoods to see more details.

If you need to print, please use the "Printer-Friendly/text" version. From there, you can print each part of the city in a more readable format that uses less paper. Set your printer to "duplex" (double-sided), and you'll save even more!

If you want to use Recycle City when you're not hooked up to the Internet, you'll need to download it to your computer's hard drive. We've provided a couple of "compressed" versions to make it easier.
Self Extracting Zip File (.exe): You don't need any special software to open this kind of file. However, some schools and organizations do not allow computer users to download this type of file.
- Download Recyclecity.exe (2 MB)
(make sure you write down the name of the folder where you saved the file, so you can find it later)Zip File (.zip): You will need an unzipping program like WinZip (for PCs)
or Stuffit Expander (for Macs/PCs)
- Download Recyclecity.zip (2 MB)
(make sure you write down the name of the folder where you saved the file, so you can find it later)

To play the Clean Up Dumptown game, you will need to have a browser that supports Macromedia Shockwave, a software "plug-in" that allows you to see images that move and change.
Your browser may already have the Shockwave plug-in loaded as one of its features. If not, you will need to download it (that is, copy it from the Web onto your computer's hard drive) and install it. It's not as bad as it sounds! First click on the Dumptown game icon, or to go to Dumptown's welcome page. If you have a version of Shockwave that works with the game, a little box will tell you so. If not, it will take you to the Macromedia Web site's download center. From there, just follow the instructions!
You can download the Shockwave from the Macromedia Web site at http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/ .
