When is my bin picked up? Calendar with curb-side bins pickup dates for Edinburgh. With reminders! This UNOFFICIAL app which shows you reminders on days when your recycling bins are picked up. This way you won’t forget when your packaging, glass, garden, food and landfill bins are picked up. About the Project Team: This student-led project is maintained by Weronika Harlos and Pawel Orzechowski and was originally created by a group of CodeClan students (David Bujok, George Tegos, Lewis Ferguson) and their instructor (Pawel Orzechowski). Help us! If you see anything wrong with the app (wrong bin calendar? Missing street?) message us through the app. Also get in touch if you’d like to help us with his project. Finally most of us are looking for jobs in software development, so contact us if you would like to talk about this project or any other opportunities or initiatives. About the Data: Data is taken from publically accessible websites of Edinburgh city council. We are IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COUNCIL. Council is doing great work with promoting and enabling recycling, and we wanted to add a little bit of our expertise to make it even easier. We also combined the datasets for various types of bins (packaging, glass, garden, food and landfill) into one calendar, for ease of use. As new streets are built, and data changes, we’ll do our best to update the app.
