We’re excited to roll out a new set of updates to the MyBins app and management platform, all designed with one goal in mind: making waste collection information clearer, easier to access, and more useful for both residents and administrators.

Here’s a look at what’s new.

A Clearer Start with New App Introduction Slides

First impressions matter. That’s why we’ve introduced a set of onboarding slides to guide users through the app’s key features from the moment they open it.

These slides highlight essential functions—like checking collection dates, setting reminders, and staying updated with local news—helping users quickly understand how to get the most out of MyBins without confusion or guesswork.

Improved Calendar for Easier Navigation

We’ve redesigned the calendar to make it more intuitive and user-friendly for householders.

The updated layout makes it easier to:

• View upcoming collection dates at a glance

• Distinguish between different bin types

• Navigate between weeks and months with minimal effort

This cleaner, more accessible format ensures residents can find the information they need quickly, reducing missed collections.

Simple, Step-by-Step Reminder Setup

Setting up bin reminders should be effortless—and now it is.

We’ve added clearer guidance and signposting throughout the app to walk users through the process. Whether it’s enabling notifications or choosing reminder times, each step is now more visible and easier to follow, helping ensure no collection day is forgotten.

Enhanced News Management for Admins

We’ve made significant improvements to the news section within the management platform, giving administrators greater flexibility and control over communications.

New features include:

• Scheduled publishing to plan updates in advance

• Expanded formatting options for clearer, more engaging content

• Support for links, making it easier to direct users to additional resources

• Custom push notification excerpts, allowing admins to tailor how updates appear when delivered to users

These enhancements make it easier to deliver timely, relevant, and well-presented information to residents.

Design Improvements Across the Board

Alongside these feature updates, we’ve introduced a range of general design enhancements to improve usability throughout the app.

From cleaner layouts to more consistent navigation patterns, these refinements create a smoother, more intuitive experience for all users—whether they’re checking their next collection or managing content behind the scenes.

Built for Better Everyday Use

These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to making MyBins as simple and effective as possible. By improving usability, clarity, and flexibility, we’re helping residents stay informed and making it easier for administrators to keep their communities up to date.

We’re excited for you to explore the new features and look forward to continuing to improve the MyBins experience.
