19/07/12…Bin confusion? There’s an App for that !

STAYING up to date with your waste collections just got easier, and has become a lot more fun too. South Oxfordshire District Council has come up with a new app called Binfo. The Binfo character knows everything there is to know about when your bins will be collected.

If you own an iPhone or an Android smartphone you can download and install the Binfo app; he?s eager to inform you and he?s completely free as well! Simply input your postcode and select your address or use the handy GPS location feature when you?re at home, and Binfo will tell you when your next waste collection will be.

He will also let you know whether it?s your green or grey bin that will be collected. That?s not all ? Binfo will also notify you when there is a change to your collections due to bank holidays or adverse weather. He will also help you sign up to the garden waste scheme if you aren?t already a customer.

Don?t worry if you don?t have an iPhone or an Android phone. You can continue to use all of the traditional channels such as regular waste collection calendars delivered to your door in the District Council?s Outlook and at www.southoxon.gov.uk
