Binston your new bin buddy is here

Bin night confusion will be a thing of the past and keeping up with all things waste and recycling in Kingston is even simpler and easier following the launch of our new free waste app.

Binston gives residents a reminder of which bins to put out each week tailored to their address, provides an easy A to Z guide on how to dispose of household items and links to a range of waste services, including hard waste bookings, branch pick-ups and Christmas Tree collection.

Kingston Mayor Hadi Saab encourages everyone to download Binston onto their phone to make bin night a breeze.

"You'll never miss bin day again, accidentally put out the wrong bin or have to do a panicked early morning dash in your dressing gown when you hear the truck rumble into the street," Cr Saab said.

"Binston also takes away any confusion with handy tips on which items are allowed in each bin and where to take items that can't be disposed of in your household bins. We know most people are trying hard to do the right thing, but it can be confusing and Binston will make it easy for everyone."

Additionally, in the event of a service disruption, app users will also receive notifications to keep them updated.

"We are encouraged by the early feedback we have received from our community, and we are really keen to see a big uptake of our bin buddy," Cr Saab said.

Kingston residents are encouraged to download Binston for free on the App Store (for iPhones) or Google Play (for Androids).
