Evergreen recycling automatically re-schedules your best timeless posts so they keep reaching new audiences — set it once, let SocialMate run it.
# What Is Evergreen Content Recycling and How Does SocialMate Automate It?
You've spent hours writing great posts. They go out, get engagement, and then disappear into the void. Nobody sees them again. That's a waste — especially for evergreen content that stays relevant month after month.
SocialMate's evergreen recycling feature solves this automatically.
Evergreen content is anything that doesn't go stale. It's not tied to a news event or a trend — it's advice, how-tos, insights, or ideas that are just as useful six months from now as they are today.
Examples:
This kind of content deserves to be seen more than once.
When you schedule a post in SocialMate, you can flag it as **evergreen**. Once it publishes, SocialMate adds it to your evergreen queue.
Every day at 6am UTC, SocialMate's recycling job runs automatically. It picks posts from your evergreen queue and re-schedules them — spacing them out so they don't flood your feed, but ensuring they keep circulating.
You set it once. It runs forever.
Most of your followers didn't see your post the first time. Algorithms are brutal — organic reach is typically 2–10% of your audience. Recycling means more people see your best work, without you having to do anything.
**The compounding effect is real.** One great post recycled 12 times over a year is 12x the impressions for the same amount of effort.
1. Schedule a post normally in SocialMate
2. Toggle the **Evergreen** switch before saving
3. Done — SocialMate handles the rest
You can review and manage your evergreen queue anytime from the Queue tab in your dashboard.

Avoid recycling time-sensitive posts, seasonal content, or anything tied to a specific event.
