Useful

Simple and useful app

Response from developer

Thank you! This is just the beginning - more useful features are coming soon!

Amazing and solved all my problems!

This app has lot of useful and needed features I could not find in others that are usually too basic or broken. I can now go on holiday and snooze notifications or amend scheduled collection dates in calendar for bank holidays etc. I would only add one thing - a list of items that go into bins - voted it up in feature requests. Keep up the excellent work guys - thank you!

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you very much for such a thoughtful and constructive review - we really appreciate it. We’re very pleased to hear that the app is solving problems that other, more basic alternatives haven’t been able to address. Feedback like this motivates us to keep improving the app and developing it into the best bin and recycling companion we can make. As you mentioned, there is already a feature request for bin contents/recycling guidance, and we’re actively looking into it. We’re also especially grateful to users who choose to support the app through the optional subscription. At less than the price of two coffees per year, those contributions help us fund continued development and cover the ongoing infrastructure costs required to keep the service running reliably. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to leave such a helpful review. Kind regards, BC Team

Subscription for a bin reminder?

I would have probably paid $5 for a reminder, i can do it with shortcuts automation. But subscription for a reminder? That’s insane…

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your review. This app is much more than a simple reminder. It represents over 13 months of development, extensive testing, and a significant investment in the cloud infrastructure required to overcome iOS limitations and deliver features that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. We’ve built the foundations of a community and council driven recycling platform that aims to make waste collection simpler, more accurate, and more reliable for everyone. If you don’t feel the optional yearly subscription (less than the price of two coffees) offers value for you, you can continue using the app free of charge. The original core reminder functionality remains free, while the subscription simply unlocks additional features and helps fund the ongoing development and infrastructure costs. We’d therefore appreciate reviews being based on the app itself and its functionality, rather than on an entirely optional subscription. Kind regards, BC Team

Rubbish App, literally

This change to an app which WAS working perfectly well since inception only last month is a good example of someone sitting at a desk with not enough to do. It stinks. Change it back to the original pretty damned quick. There are far more important things you need to be doing with our money.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear you're still using our app, which remains free of charge despite having been completely revamped with additional features and significant user interface improvements. We completely rebuilt the previous version based on feedback from a large number of users, implementing the vast majority of the requested improvements, over 90%! The free version has not lost any of its original functionality. In fact, it now includes additional features, such as support for multi-colour bins. Your review doesn't reflect the experience reported by the overwhelming majority of our users, which unfortunately makes it difficult for us to consider it constructive feedback. If you know of another bin collection app that offers the same range of features and functionality, we'd genuinely be interested to hear about it. We're always happy to learn from good ideas. We're also happy to consider new feature suggestions. However, developing, maintaining, and supporting a quality free app requires ongoing time and paid resources, so it's reasonable for some advanced functionality to be offered as part of a paid upgrade rather than expecting continuous development at no cost. Kind regards, BC Team

Wrong photo

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the review. However, we’re not certain which photo is wrong - could you clarify please?

Terrible update

What a terrible update. I shouldn’t be required to provide my address for a schedule reminder.

Response from developer

Hi, We only request the minimum location information needed to identify the correct waste collection schedule - typically just a postcode (UK) or a partial address, such as a street name with no house name or number. For most users, a full address is not required. To make the setup as simple as possible, we also provide address lookup, so you don’t have to enter the details manually (exact house name or number can always be removed although they are public data anyway). This information also enables valuable features such as restoring your collection schedules, sharing schedules with nearby users, and allowing community members or councils to improve them over time - for example by adding collection inclusion or exclusion dates, updating bin configurations, or correcting schedules. It also supports future council integrations, including notifications about missed or rescheduled collections. These features simply wouldn’t be possible without a small amount of location information, and no other mobile app of this type offers this level of convenience in exchange for such minimal public data. Also, note this app is becoming more than just a reminder. We intend to extend its functionalities even further (just implemented waste items functionality to improve sorting & let people be more eco) in order to make things easier for users. Our goal is to provide service: "Set up once and forget". We appreciate your feedback and will continue improving the onboarding experience while keeping the setup process as simple as possible. Kind regards, BC Team

PERFECT APP

I love this app. I wish you could add more bins reminders

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for the kind words. We’ve been working hard over the past 12 months on a new version of the app, which will introduce many additional features requested by our users. We’re planning to release it sometime next month. Kind regards, BC Team

Amazing app

Such a great app, super simple but really customisable and works really well for reminders.
Also love how responsive the team are to suggestions and feedback as well!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Really glad you're enjoying the app and the flexibility it offers 😊 We truly appreciate your feedback and support!

Thank you

Thanks I am looking forward to receiving the reminder. Constantly forgetting to put the bins out 🙏🙏👍👍👍❤️❤️

Hi, We've implemented it in the revamped 3.0.x version. All the best, BC Team

Bin Collection

Awful app , what is it. Want to do except make a muddle

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear that our free mobile app did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, based on the feedback provided, it’s unclear what specifically didn’t work for you, which makes it difficult for us to address any potential issues or missing features. We would appreciate it if you could contact us with a bit more detail so we can better understand your requirements and assist you further.

Good but no option for 4 weekly collections

Great app. However we’re lucky enough to have 4-weekly collections which this doesn’t support. Please add this feature and it will be ideal.

Very good hasn’t failed me yet .

Response from developer

Love to hear that. Thanks so much for the support!

Just right

Nice and easy to use

Response from developer

Thanks! Glad it’s working well for you!

Feature requests not working

New version has wiped out all previous feature requests. Can’t create a new one either. Error message “wrong bearer token” ?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry for the issue you experienced with version 2.4.1. This has been fully fixed in the updated release (version 2.4.2), which was published the same day. Please update or reinstall the app to ensure you’re on the corrected build. Thanks for using our app!

Looks promising

A few anomalies still to addressed but promises to be a very useful app.

Thank you & keep up the good work.

Response from developer

EDIT: Hi, we're pleased to inform you that after 13 months of working on a new improved version of the app we've released a completely revamped version based on feature requests from users - feel free to use its full features 2 months free of charge or continue using the free version. Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback. We’re already working on improvements, and a bigger update is on the way with more features, hopefully you’ll find it even more useful!

Simple but effective.

Simple app that works a treat. Never miss a bin day again.

Great app

It’s such a handy and easy to use app one of the best

Changed my bin habits entirely

Having found this app only a few mere weeks ago, the life changing management of my weekly bin collections with the absolute farce of having 5 different coloured bins has been completely revolutionised by this app! With the request feature you can ask the app developer to include and improve functionality and add ons, and they listen and are top class guys! Ever since I’ve been able to plan life around my weekly bin collections and never felt so good. The only improvement I would suggest is to inform users of where to put animal waste as currently I place my dog poo in the recycling, previously I custom built a shed to compost all the dog poo it produces and this has become full recently 🙈
