Bin Day Reminder

Never forget bin day again. Bin Day Reminder takes the guesswork out of household waste collection. Set up your council's schedule once, and get timely reminders telling you exactly which bin to put out β€” every time. Built for real council schedules Most reminder apps assume every bin goes out on the same day, every week. Bin Day Reminder doesn't. Set up red (general waste), green (organics), and yellow (recycling) bins independently, each with their own collection day and frequency β€” weekly, fortnightly, or alternating week-on/week-off β€” to match exactly how your council collects. See it all on a calendar A built-in calendar view shows every upcoming collection at a glance, with each bin colour clearly marked, so you always know what's coming up β€” not just today. Reminders that actually help Get a notification ahead of collection day so you've got time to put the right bin out, instead of finding out you missed it when the truck's already gone. Simple and private No account, no sign-up, no internet connection required. Your schedule stays on your device β€” nothing is collected, tracked, or shared.
