Binston

You can download Binston via the App Store (for iPhones) and the Google Play Store (for Androids).

When you open the app for the first time you will be asked if you want to allow notifications.

When you first download the app, tap ADD LOCATION to add your first property (you can add more later if you want). As you type your address, a list of addresses will come up. On the next screen you can fine tune the address and give it a name, like 'Home'.

The app works for addresses in the City of Kingston only.

The app works for addresses in the City of Kingston only. The search function of the app uses Google Maps to find your address. Some addresses won't show up, for example new builds or remote properties.

If this happens for you, try searching just your street name, then adding the street number in manually on the next page. Remove hyphens and apostrophes or use the abbreviated version of street (ST) if the extended version of your address does not work.

Yes! Tap your property name at the top and select 'Add Location'. Or tap the three horizontal lines at the top left to open a menu where you'll see another place you can 'Add Location'.

You can download a 12 month calendar from the 'Services' section of the app.

Use the search bar to type in 'magazines' (for example), and you'll see it goes in the yellow-lid recycling bin. You can also tap on the item to see more information.

Tap one of the bin colours at the top to see what goes in that bin. It acts like a filter, so if you select the recycling bin, then type 'lid' it will show you what lids can go in the recycling bin.
