Bin Days.
Never miss bin night again.
Every house has the same 9pm panic: "is it bins tonight? Which ones?" The Shack ends it. Set your collection schedule once — including alternating recycling weeks — and the whole house gets reminded the night before.

The reminder says exactly which bins go out, so there's no squinting at the neighbours' kerb through the window.
Why houses use it
Alternating schedules
Weekly rubbish with fortnightly recycling or green waste — alternating patterns are handled properly.
Night-before reminders
A notification the evening before collection, while there's still time to actually do it.
Colour-coded bins
Bins show with their lid colours, so 'yellow and red this week' is unambiguous.
On the calendar too
Bin nights appear in the household calendar alongside everything else.

Common questions
Can it handle recycling every second week?
Yes — fortnightly and alternating schedules are exactly what Bin Days is built for. Set each bin's own frequency and The Shack works out which bins go out each week.
Who gets the reminder?
The whole household — so whoever's home can grab the bins, and nobody can claim they didn't know.
Put bin days on autopilot.
Create a household, invite your housemates, and have everything under control by tonight.
