Techniques for generating component-level disposal guidance for a product are described. A computing system may receive a request for disposal information, where the request includes an identifier (e.g., barcode or QR code) for a product, and location information. The computing system determine product information (e.g., one or more components, one or more packaging symbols, and/or one or more contents of the product) associated with the reference identifier. The computing system may also determine a disposal scheme associated with the location information, and disposal bin information associated with the disposal scheme. The disposal bin information may representing a type(s) of disposal bin(s), where each type is represented as being usable to dispose of one or more material types. The computing system may, using the disposal bin information and the product information, determine disposal guidance at a disposal bin/product component level, and send the disposal guidance to the computing device for output.
