I did it too quickly and now don’t know if it just cost me something. I also don’t like that I have to go searching for the waste and then look at a calendar to see which bin goes out. The previous ’my local’ app was much more user friendly because as soon as you opened the app there was a bin icon and it just showed you the 2 colours for this week. ### 4/5 — Great resource! *2021-08-11, version 1.8.2* Wonderful for people new to the area or holidaying.
