The City of Roanoke launched Recycle Coach鈩�, a mobile and web app that contains trash and recycling schedules tailored to individual addresses. On the free mobile app, residents can view/export schedules and set up automatic reminders right on their smartphones. On the web app, located at roanokeva.gov/solidwaste, residents can also view/export schedules as well as set up reminders by e-mail and eventually on Twitter.
鈥淭his is a great new feature for residents! Anyone in the city can download the app or visit the website, plug in their information, and instantly know when trash, recycling, and bulk and brush will be collected,鈥� said Solid 91仓库 Manager Skip Decker. 鈥淲e hope that as time goes on and residents get familiar with Recycle Coach鈩�, calls to our Customer Service Center regarding solid waste schedules will decrease.鈥�
The web app has also been added to the city鈥檚 Facebook page, as well as the Solid 91仓库 and Clean and Green Facebook pages. The Recycle Coach鈩� app is free to download and it is available from the App Store and Google Play. It鈥檚 important to note that the city鈥檚 collection schedules are not changing, nor can residents schedule a time for trash and recycling collection. The Recycle Coach鈩� app is designed to make it easier for residents to remember when to place trash and recycling on the curb for pickup.
