Residents encouraged to download recycling app
BBCResidents are being encouraged to download a new app to make it easier to recycle more and waste less.
North Somerset Council's free app offers various features to help residents, including bin day reminders, real-time service alerts on any changes to recycling and waste collections and a search tool to check how to recycle items correctly.
It comes ahead of new changes to recycling and waste services, which will be rolled out in the authority area in June.
Councillor Annemieke Waite, executive member for climate, waste and sustainability, said: "We want to make North Somerset a thriving and sustainable place to live, work and visit."
She added: "Our new app is a big step forward in supporting our residents to recycle as much as they can and waste less."
As well as providing recycling guidance, North Somerset Council's app also has links to other services it offers, allowing users to find local councillors, look for nearby council-run facilities, view local food hygiene ratings and read the latest news from the authority.
More council services will be added to the app in future, the authority has said.
