About Can Or Not? Recycling Cat
Is the recycling machine downstairs working, or is it full again? Ask the cat. Can or Not? checks Singapore's can and bottle return machines (the BCRS reverse vending machines) and tells you at a glance whether it's worth the walk. A community cat keeps watch for you, and it has opinions. CAN! The machine is working and open. CAN... HURRY! It's filling up fast. Probably someone with a mega trash bag. CANNOT. FULL LIAO. It's full, and the cat says it stinks. CANNOT. CLOSED. The shop is closed. So is the cat. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Find machines near you, by name or by postal code • Kaypoh (Singlish for nosy) up to 10 machines, and the cat watches them for you • Swipe between your machines and the cats watching them • See live status and today's opening hours • Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Pick the cat's attitude: Manja, Sassy, or one more you'll have to find • Poke the cat until it gets cross, or stroke it until it purrs • Make friends: stroke the cat on duty a little every day, or return at its machine, and it remembers you • Keep a Kopi Fund: count your 10-cent deposits as kopi, month by month • Use it in English or 简体中文 • Hunt for 13 easter eggs. One of them is very rare, and very golden REAL COMMUNITY CATS Every cat in the app is a real community cat, drawn as a cartoon. Cat names come from Cats of SG and from news stories about well-loved estate cats. The app links to Cats of SG, the Cat Welfare Society and NParks' Animal Response Centre. It never shows where a real cat lives. GOOD TO KNOW Can or Not? is an unofficial fan app. It isn't made by, or affiliated with, NEA, BCRS Ltd, recycle.gov.sg or Cats of SG. Machine status comes from the public map on recycle.gov.sg and can be out of date, so if the machine says something different, trust the machine. Kaypoh only saves a machine to your list. It can't hold the real machine for you, which is still first come, first served. Postal code search uses OneMap. The cat's meows are free voice clips by あみたろ (amitaro.net). No account. No ads. No tracking. Non-commercial.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated November 7, 2026
New in 1.2: • The cat has a voice: anime-style meows by voice actress あみたろ, and every cat has its own pitch. Poke it and it gets crosser, all the way to the zoomies • Stroke the cat (press and rub) and it purrs, leans into your hand, and hearts pop out • Make friends without walking over: stroke the cat at one of your machines for a few seconds a day. 5 hearts and it counts as met • 简体中文, in Singapore Mandarin with real local jokes. Settings > Language switches it without changing your phone • The Cats tab greys out the cats you haven't met yet • Search for your drink: coke, 100plus, teh tarik, bandung, sugarcane and more • The mystery cat is even harder to find now, and much grander when you do. Already met him? He's still yours, and drops by when he feels like it • Your list holds up to 10 machines • No sounds, please? Settings > Sounds turns them off, and the app stays quiet when your phone is on silent • Fixed: if the site sends a status the app doesn't know, the cat says HAH? instead of CAN! • Fixed: a cat sometimes vanished from its card
