About BinBosh

What BinBosh is

BinBosh is a UK bin collection reminder that works right in your browser — no app store, no download. Enter your postcode, find your street's schedule, and get reminders via push notification, email, or calendar sync. Check in on bin day, build streaks, and earn StreetCred for keeping your street's data accurate. It's community-powered, so your neighbours keep it honest.

The problem

Council websites are hard to navigate. Schedules change without warning. Bank holidays mess everything up. You shouldn't need a degree to figure out which bin goes out this week. Most people end up just peeking at what their neighbours have put out — and by then it's often too late.

How it works

BinBosh doesn't scrape council websites that go stale. Schedules are created and maintained by your actual neighbours. One person sets up a schedule for their street — then everyone else on that street adopts it. Made a mistake? Creators can edit their schedules from the dashboard before anyone adopts them. As more people join, the schedule earns trust: Unconfirmed at first, then Community, then Verified. When bank holidays shift collection day, the community votes on the actual date and the schedule updates once enough people agree.

Every contribution earns StreetCred — creating schedules, adopting them, checking in on bin day, voting on bank holiday changes, even reporting problems. The more neighbours participate, the more reliable the data becomes for everyone.

What you get

Reminders arrive the evening before collection day as push notifications — with optional email and a live calendar feed that syncs with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or any app that supports ICS. On collection day, check in to confirm you put your bins out. Streaks build with each collection, boosting your StreetCred multiplier up to 3× at 12 in a row. Miss one? Grace periods have your back. Been away for a while? A comeback bonus welcomes you home.

There are 13 badges to unlock and four tiers to climb — Bin Starter, Bin Regular, Bin Boss, and Bin Legend. It's not a competition; it's gentle accountability. A small reason to put the bins out on time and help your neighbours do the same.

BinBosh also provides recycling guidance for participating councils — what goes in which bin, common mistakes, and tips pushed right into your reminders. There are free guides too: a recycling symbols decoder, answers to the most common recycling questions, and a food waste guide.

Free and Premium

The core of BinBosh is free: push reminders, calendar sync, check-in streaks, badges, and StreetCred. For people who want more, there's BinBosh Premium — same-day morning reminders, email reminders, streak freeze (miss two collections instead of one), and support for up to three postcodes. It's £2.49/month or £19.99/year, and you can earn it through StreetCred too. Hit 4 check-ins in a row and you'll get a free 7-day trial automatically.

Who's behind it

BinBosh is built and maintained by Dan Dadovic, a UK-based developer, entrepreneur, and researcher.

Dan holds a PhD in Information Sciences and dual Master's degrees in Economics and Informatics from the University of Zagreb. His doctoral research focused on identifying critical success factors in technological ecosystems — the kind of systems thinking that shaped how BinBosh approaches community-driven data.

Professionally, Dan works as Commercial Director at Ezoic, where he leads new revenue strategy in digital publishing. He's also the founder of CalculatorCorp.com. BinBosh started because he kept missing his own bin day and got tired of squinting at council PDFs.

No venture capital, no corporate backing. Just a side project that got out of hand because bin day shouldn't be this difficult.

Privacy commitment

BinBosh stores street-level data only — no house numbers, ever. You can use the app without creating an account. If you do sign in and later want your data removed, full GDPR deletion is available from Settings. Read the full privacy policy.
