How we use it

BinDayBuddy reads each council's own collection system and holds the answer for a whole postcode, from homes in it that agree. A postcode page shows only an answer BinDayBuddy already holds, so it never waits for a council; for a postcode it does not hold yet, it asks the council in the background, within a small limit, and a later visit has the date. Some councils give days only for one home, from its house number: the page then sends you to BinDayBuddy to give yours. A council BinDayBuddy does not read yet is linked to its own bin checker. A date that has passed is never shown.

Its terms

There is no one licence: each council's own terms apply to the collection days its system gives.
