Recycle

The recycle icon represents the concept of recycling and waste management. It is commonly used in environmental and ecological contexts to symbolize the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling waste. The icon's design typically features a recycling symbol or a trash can with a recycling logo.

In software applications, the recycle icon appears in eco-friendly and sustainability-focused platforms like recycling apps or environmental websites. It may also be used in educational tools to teach children about the importance of recycling.

From a UX perspective, the recycle icon communicates the idea of taking care of the environment and promoting sustainability. It helps users understand that they can make a positive impact by reducing their waste.

Recycle is one of 200 icons in Stickies color icons, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 40 × 40 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds RecycleIcon to components/icons/streamline-stickies-color-recycle.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed RecycleIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Recycle icon, or any of 200 Stickies color icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 40 × 40 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Recycle", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. RecycleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RecycleIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
