If you\u2019ve ever been confused over what items should go in the Blue Bin or the Green Bin before ultimately giving up and throwing everything into a black garbage bag, a new app is here to help.
\nThe Town of Aurora has launched the Recycle Coach, a new app that helps to solve some of the perplexing ins and outs of what should go where \u2013 and when.
\nThe Recycle Coach replaces the Town\u2019s previous online tool, the My Waste app, with new features and information.
\nThe Recycle Coach, according to the Town, helps residents \u201cstay organized with custom curbside collection and events calendars, receive collection reminders and real-time updates on service disruptions, and report missed collections.\u201d
\nWith the \u201cWhat Goes Where?\u201d search tool. The Town promises residents can become \u201crecycling experts\u201d with information on more than 10,000 items right at their fingertips. Moreover, the \u201cWhat Type of Recycler Are You\u201d quiz will provide \u201cuseful recycling tips and tricks.\u201d
\n\u201cAurora is pleased to join the Recycle Coach network,\u201d said Al Downey, Director of Operations. \u201cThis new platform will help effectively communicate local collection, waste and recycling information to our residents. The platform also includes engagement and educational tools to help people manage and correctly dispose of waste.\u201d
\nResidents can access the free Recycle Coach service from their mobile devices, desktop computers, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and a variety of other digital assistants.
