Hamish McNeilly on why he's fallen in love with a rubbish app

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 24 September 2024

Hamish is a senior reporter based in Dunedin for STUFF and has written essentially a love letter in the form of an article to the Dunedin City Council's Kerbside Collections App

The app, which was launched in July when the city rolled out its new collection scheme, has been downloaded more than 15,000 times. 

The updated app has information on what to sort into each of the kerbside bins, plus users can turn on notifications to alert them to put their bins out and let them know if there are delays due to weather events or changes to collection days.
