Fresh from Milton Keynes being named the country’s number one city for recycling, Milton Keynes City Council is piloting a free waste and recycling app for smartphones and tablets to make managing your bins even easier.
Local people can use the secure app to quickly check what will be collected that week and can sign up for weekly reminders to put the right bin out. The app can also send you a notification if there’s a change to your usual collection, for instance due to bad weather.
A handy search tool tells you which items can and can’t be recycled and which bin to put them in, and the app also has links to book a slot at a local recycling centre or to report a missed collection, graffiti or fly tipping.
The free Milton Keynes City Council app is available to download now from the Apple App Store and Google Play for Android users, with links from www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling
