A Browser Extension That Extends Your Budget
Reduce your costs.
Reuse court documents.
PlainSite Recycler.
Drag and drop any court document to add it to PlainSite, or keep scrolling to learn how to download the Recycler plugin for your browser.
Dropping documents requires an account — sign in or create one free to add documents to PlainSite.
Every court record you pull stays yours — and everyone’s. PlainSite Recycler captures dockets and documents as you browse PACER and state court portals, then saves them to PlainSite and the Internet Archive so no one ever has to pay for them twice.
The best things in life are free.
The federal courts charges ten cents a page—soon to be twelve. State courts can charge up to 40X as much and often lock records behind clunky logins. PlainSite Recycler fights these First Amendment violations by working quietly in the background, turning every page you have already paid for into a permanent public resource.
Capture as you browse
Open a docket, parties list, or document and the Recycler quietly reads the page you’re already viewing — no extra clicks, no extra charges.
Saved to PlainSite
Dockets, parties, attorneys, and filing dates are parsed and merged into the free PlainSite database for everyone to search and read.
Archived forever
Documents are mirrored to the Internet Archive under the standard gov.uscourts identifier, so they stay accessible permanently and for free.
Stop paying twice
Before you buy a document on PACER, the Recycler checks whether it’s already free on PlainSite or the Internet Archive — and links you straight to it.
Private by design
The Recycler only ever reads pages you choose to open. It captures the authoritative court record — nothing about your account, searches, or billing.
Every major browser
Available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on macOS and iOS — the same engine wherever you do your research.
Every federal court. Top to bottom.
From the trial courts to the highest court in the land, PlainSite Recycler understands the federal system end to end.
Trial Courts
District PACER
All 94 U.S. District Courts and the bankruptcy courts on PACER — docket reports, history, parties, claims registers, and filed documents.
Courts of Appeals
Appellate PACER
The U.S. Courts of Appeals, including the newer ACMS appellate system — dockets, attachments, and documents across every circuit.
The Highest Court
U.S. Supreme Court
Docket pages from supremecourt.gov, parsed into full case histories — both the modern and legacy docket formats.
And a fast-growing list of state courts.
PlainSite Recycler reads the case-management systems that power courts nationwide — both bespoke state portals and the major commercial platforms used by hundreds of jurisdictions.
