Which bin is which
The app shows your council's own scheme. In Sefton, it is:
Grey bin
General, non-recyclable waste. Sefton has no food caddy, so food waste goes here too.
Brown bin
Mixed recycling: card, paper, glass, cans, cartons and plastic bottles, pots and tubs.
Green bin
Garden waste: grass, hedge clippings, leaves and weeds. No food or soil.
Put the bins out, every time.
Free on Android. Your council's real schedule, a reminder the night before, and a which-bin helper.
