The UK's recycling reminder app
Never miss a recycling collection again ♻️
Keeping track of your recycling day is harder than it should be. Collections rotate, schedules shift and it's easy to miss one. Loci tracks your local recycling collection schedule and sends reminders straight to your phone so you're always ready.

Recycling reminders that mean you'll never miss bin day
Loci connects to your local council's collection schedule and tells you when your recycling goes out. You get a clear notification before collection day, so you're not left checking the council website or guessing whether it's your week.
Set your address once and Loci does the rest. It covers mixed recycling, paper, card, glass and food waste collections, depending on what your council collects. One app, all your bins, no effort.
