Great way to inform your council of where rubbish bins are needed

It a sad fact that some people believe it is the duty of others to clean up their rubbish.
It’s a cost upon us all, when councils have to go around cleaning up rubbish left by people who refuse to use a bin.
This App is great as it helps the councils to be aware of where the rubbish is being left. They might not always be able to clean it up, but it can worked out where bins are needed most and help council to inform people of how to dispose of their rubbish in those areas.

Missing some obvious categories

It works very well for the few categories it covers. But there’s some really obvious omissions. Uncollected rubbish/recycling being one and vandalised council street furniture being another. This is unfortunately down to Islington Council only selecting certain limited categories as opposed to the app’s capabilities, they (Islington) were supposed be adding more categories about 3 years back, but still with this major update, haven’t bothered. Oh well, thanks to the developers for responding to say it’s possible, pity IBC are so sloooow on the uptake. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it think, or something like that!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for reviewing the app. You are totally right, the council chooses the categories that they want reported via the app in their area. Islington is expecting to be adding more. You can use the app anywhere in the UK and you will see the categories vary by location.

Rubbish removal

When a problem of dumping is registered we get fast service.
When it comes to having our streets cleaned it’s a different story, in the last 12 months we can only recall it being done twice.
During the present crisis it would be especially good to have nice clean surroundings in all of Ealing for all residents and create a good impression to those looking to buy here as we have some well placed dwellings on the market
