Benalla Rural City Council is making it easier for residents to reduce waste and recycle more, following recent updates to its free BRCC Waste App.
Available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, the BRCC Waste App delivers local waste and recycling information including checking which bin goes out when, finding a nearby recycling drop-off point, and getting a reminder the night before bin day.
Mayor Cr Bernie Hearn said the free waste app ensures smarter waste management is only a tap away.
“The BRCC Waste App is a great tool for every household. It helps you check which bin goes out when, find nearby recycling options, report a missed bin collection service, and the handy A-to-Z Waste and Recycling Guide allows you to search for household items to see which bin they belong in,” Cr Hearn said.
“I encourage everyone to download it and make the most of its easy-to-use features. It’s a practical way to help reduce waste and protect our environment.”
The BRCC Waste App also features public holiday collection updates, special needs waste collection information and service requests to change bin sizes.
The BRCC Waste App is free to download for iOS and Android devices.
For residents who don’t use a smartphone or tablet, the bin collection calendar remains accessible via www.benalla.vic.gov.au or please contact Council on 03 5760 2600.
