Your schedules, loaded
Residents will choose your council and skip the setup questions about bins, nights and weeks.
For councils
Bin night, sorted for your whole community
We're taking on our first councils now. A council subscription will load your bin schedules, so residents skip the setup questions, and bring your own guide, tips and drop-off points into the app.
Founding councils: council subscriptions and white-label apps are being built with our first councils. Neither is available yet.
Council subscription
What a council subscription will include
Your guide to each bin
What goes in each of your bins, beside the rules that are true everywhere.
Tips and drop-off points
Your tips, transfer stations and recycling centres, in the app residents open on bin night.
White label
Or make it your own app
A white-label app will be Local Bins under your council's own name, colours and icon, with the same reminders and bin night as Local Bins.
What residents get today
Local Bins works on every street in Australia today, without a council subscription.
No account
Residents set up their bins without signing up for anything.
Schedules stay on the phone
Schedules stay on residents' phones. The Lock Screen start sends only upcoming bin nights, with no address.

Optional features say what they send, and nothing follows residents across other apps.
Works on every street
Residents answer a few questions about their bins, and the app works out their dates.
Reminders and a bedtime check
A reminder the evening before, and a bedtime check if the bins aren't out yet.
Household
With Local Bins Plus, residents can share one place's bin night with up to 6 people, through iCloud.
A guide to what goes where
A starter guide to the rules that are true everywhere in Australia, with your council's guide having the final say.
