Recycling app proves a big hit
A
smartphone app providing recycling and waste disposal information
has proved popular with over 530 residents downloading it since its
launch in October last year.
The Recycle for Ashford app, by Ashford Borough Council, allows
residents to find out blue box collection dates, search for their
nearest recycling and waste disposal centres, find out what items
can be recycled where and set collection reminders.
The free app is available for iphone and Android devices, and the
information can also be found on the website.
Ashford Borough Council is one of the first local authorities in
the country to launch a smartphone recycling app and now others
look set to follow Ashford’s lead.
Cllr Jessamy Blanford, portfolio holder for Environment, said: “We
are glad to see the Recycle for Ashford app has proven popular with
residents and hope this has made finding out information quicker
and easier.
“The council has been contacted by several other local authorities
who are looking to launch their own versions of the app.”
