Project: The Leeds Bin App

Responsible organisation: Nesta (Private company)

The bin app uses open data on Data Mill North to notify the people of Leeds of when their next bin collection will take place and which bin to put out. The app also informs people of any changes to the schedule over public holidays, such as Christmas, as well as nudging people to recycle.
