Few people using garbage reminder service

Mar 31, 2016 | 3:19 PM

An online service that reminds North Battleford residents when it’s time to put out the garbage may end up in the trash, if more people don’t start using it.

City council was told this week that only one in four property owners use the ReCollect app, which reminds people when garbage and recycling pickup is.

Communications coordinator Suzanne Abe says the ReCollect app costs roughly $6,500 yearly.

Abe says the service will continue to be made available during 2016, but will be revisited in the future.

After issues came up during snow clearing operations because of drivers ignoring No Parking signs, the city looked into a related app and widget called ReCollect Streets. The app would remind people about local parking restrictions. It would have cost another $2,000.

Instead, Abe says the city will use other avenues to remind people to observe the signs.
