A planned UK app that checks which bins go out tonight, shows upcoming collection dates and sends a reminder the evening before.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: UK households tracking council bin collections
Worth noticing: For most councils, the phone contacts the council directly; a few require the app’s server to relay the request without keeping it.

Field notes

The described lookup starts with a postcode: the phone identifies the council, then requests collection dates from it. The page distinguishes councils that answer phones directly from a few that require a server relay, and says that relay does not retain what it passes on. It also names UKBinCollectionData under an MIT licence. The app is still in testing, and the captured page does not establish which councils are currently covered.
