The UK's garden waste reminder app
Garden waste reminders so your bin is always out on time
Keep track of your garden waste collection with Loci. The app finds your local schedule and sends you a reminder before each collection day. No more missed brown bins.
Garden waste reminders that take the guesswork out of bin day
Loci connects to your local council's garden waste schedule and sends you a reminder before each collection. You'll know exactly when your brown bin needs to go out without having to check the council website or remember what week it is.
Garden waste collections vary by council. Some run weekly, some fortnightly and many pause over winter. Loci keeps track of all of that for you so your reminder always reflects what's actually happening in your area.
