Warwickshire iPhone app to boost recycling

25 February 2010

WARWICKSHIRE residents who want to locate household waste and recycling centres (HWRCs) in the county will be able to do so by using their iPhones.

The county council has launched a special application that provides information about where HWRCs in the county are located.

The Warwickshire council claims this is the first such application to be developed by a local authority.

The ‘Warwickshire iPhone Application’ provides information about council services and specifically allows people to check the distance to the closest service, including the nearest HWRC.

The council is to work with district councils in the region so as to include the timetables of localised recycling collections and residual waste collection in a future version of the application.

The council’s portfolio holder for customer, workforce and partnerships, Cllr Heather Timms, said: "We will be building on the experience of developing the iPhone app to look at how customers' needs could be met through bringing together information from different services and offering them in ways that are most accessible to customers."

The iPhone application was developed by technology firm Loud Cloud.
