South Norfolk District Council, GB develops waste education mobile app for improved recycling rates

The Bin Collection South Norfolk app allows users to search for curbside collection dates by address. Households can set reminders to bring out their bins and receive alerts about collection delays or schedule changes. The mobile app also challenges residents to a waste sorting game featuring common household waste items. South Norfolk and Broadland councils are hoping that the in-house app can boost residential recycling rates to at least 60%.
