Ards Borough Council is very “Appy” with over 800 Bin-Ovation users!
Ards Borough Council is successfully using innovative App-based technology to improve its communications and customer service to local residents and businesses.
Launched in May 2014, the “Bin-Ovation” App already has over 800 users who are benefitting from information such as what can go in which bin and real-time data on bin collection times during the holiday period.
The Bin-Ovation App provides a library of over 300 images allowing the user to know exactly which bin to place items in and provides GPS details to their nearest recycling centre as well as up-to-date information on bin collection times and handy reminders to put your bin out for collection.
Speaking about the success of the Ards Borough Council Bin-Ovation App, Mayor of Ards Councillor Phillip Smith said:
“I am delighted that we have had over 800 downloads and that local residents and businesses are using the App. We, at the Council, are committed to providing an excellent service to Ards residents and businesses alike and believe that the Bin-Ovation App is one way in which we are improving our customer service and communications”, he continued, “real time information is so important and Ards Borough Council has recognised this and has shown that we are leading the way in using innovative technology to meet the needs of those in our Borough. We are hopeful that in the coming weeks we will have over 1000 users.”
App creator, and Bin-Ovation Managing Director Michael Brady, said: “The residents in Ards Borough Council have been superb in embracing the Bin-Ovation App in the initial few months since launch. We feel that this ever increasing participation and buy-in from residents can only raise awareness of recycling practices in the council area, resulting in increased recycling activity”.
