Bin night confusion and all things waste and recycling will be simpler and easier in Kingston following the launch of a new free waste app.
Binston gives residents a reminder of which bins to put out each week tailored to their address, provides an easy A to Z guide on how to dispose of household items and links to a range of waste services, including hard waste bookings, branch pick-ups and Christmas Tree collection.
City of Kingston Council Mayor, Hadi Saab is encouraging residents to download Binston onto their phones to make future bin nights a breeze.
“You’ll never miss bin day again, accidentally put out the wrong bin or have to do a panicked early morning dash in your dressing gown when you hear the truck rumble into the street,” Mayor Saab said.
“Binston also takes away any confusion with handy tips on which items are allowed in each bin and where to take items that can’t be disposed of in your household bins. We know most people are trying hard to do the right thing, but it can be confusing and Binston will make it easy for everyone.”
Additionally, in the event of a service disruption, app users will also receive notifications to keep them updated.
“We are encouraged by the early feedback we have received from our community, and we are really keen to see a big uptake of our bin buddy,” Mayor Saab said.
Kingston residents can download Binston for free on the App Store (for iPhones) or Google Play (for Androids).
