Why BinBuddy matters

The pickup isn’t finished when the truck leaves.

Missed collection means another week of overflow. A bin left at the curb can become an HOA warning, a blocked sidewalk, or a windblown mess. And complicated alternating schedules are exactly the kind of small task a busy household forgets.

BinBuddy closes the loop. It helps you prepare on time, understand what is due, record what happened, and bring every bin back before it becomes tomorrow’s problem.

Built for the whole routine

Flexible enough for real collection schedules.

Simple when you need it. Precise when your property, service, or season gets complicated.

01

Every collection, one calm view

Track trash, recycling, compost, yard waste, bulk pickup, and custom services across every property without juggling paper calendars.

02

Schedules that match real life

Create weekly, alternating, monthly, seasonal, specific-date, and one-time schedules—with a clear preview before you save.

03

Reminders that finish the job

Get nudges to put bins out, check collection morning, and bring them back one and three hours after the expected truck time.

04

Holiday changes without chaos

Move, delay, skip, add, or restore a pickup while keeping the original schedule and history understandable.

05

A household that knows its part

Assign put-out and return responsibilities to named household members, add notes, and keep a local record of what happened.

06

Useful everywhere you look

See the next collection on iPhone widgets, the calendar, accessible list view, notification health screen, and exportable ICS files.

Clarity at a glance

Everything important. Nothing noisy.

Questions, answered

Honest by default.

Does BinBuddy need an account?+

No. There is no BinBuddy account, cloud profile, advertising ID, or app backend. Your schedules and history stay in the app on your device.

Is BinBuddy Plus a subscription?+

No. BinBuddy Plus is a one-time lifetime purchase for the platform where it is bought. The free version remains a complete reminder tool.

Does BinBuddy know my city’s schedule automatically?+

Not yet. You enter and adjust schedules yourself, which keeps the app private and useful for municipal, private, HOA, and custom pickup arrangements.

Are notifications guaranteed?+

No mobile app can guarantee notification delivery. Focus modes, battery settings, and operating-system policies can delay or silence alerts. BinBuddy includes a health screen so you can inspect permissions and scheduled reminders.

Can my family share schedules across devices?+

V1 household responsibilities are local to one device. BinBuddy does not pretend to send invitations or sync data when no account or backend exists.

Can I take my data with me?+

Yes. You can export a readable JSON backup and create ICS calendar files. Exported backups are unencrypted, so store and share them carefully.
