Evaluation

My Recycling Center launched on February 1, 2024 and received three paid DLC expansions over the course of the year: the Container Truck Expansion (May 23, 2024), the Resources Trading Expansion (August 29, 2024), and the Car Scrapyard Expansion (December 19, 2024). All three are released with no unreleased DLC remaining on the store. The developer's attention has clearly shifted to a sequel. Starting in April 2025, the developer began publicly promoting My Recycling Center 2, sharing a preview page, new screenshots (September 2025), and an official trailer (February 2026). This sequel is a separate product with its own Steam store page. The most recent post for the original game was the February 18, 2026 trailer announcement for the sequel — not a content update for this game. Prior to that, the last substantive update to the original game was a feature patch on January 5, 2025. No new DLC or expansions for this game have been announced, and the developer's communications are now focused entirely on the next entry in the series. All originally released DLC content has shipped, and the original game appears to be a finished product at this point.
