For every household in Ontario
Your language, all the way through.
A collection calendar only helps if everyone in the house can read it. BinPilot is in 27 languages, and the translation does not stop at the menus: what goes in which bin, the duty roster, the common questions and the reminders are translated too.

Even the notifications
The part that arrives while the app is closed speaks your language too.
A notification is the one thing an app says when nobody is looking at it, which makes it the easiest place to slip back into English. BinPilot writes it in yours.
Bin reminders, written on your phone
Your reminder is put together on your own phone, in the language BinPilot is set to, with the bin names in that language. When a reminder is sent from our server instead, it carries the same words your phone wrote.
Household notices follow the reader
When someone asks to swap a duty day, accepts or declines a swap, or changes the rotation order, each person is told in their own language, not the sender's. A swap request sent from a phone in Japanese reaches an English-speaking member in English. The email about it uses the same words.
Dates that read naturally
The dates inside a notice are written the way your language writes dates, so you never get a translated sentence with an English date in the middle of it.
Reminders and household notices are part of BinPilot Household. They are written in 22 of the app's 27 languages today; in Tagalog, Gujarati, Bengali, Ukrainian and Traditional Chinese their sentences are still in English. The examples above show the app's own wording, with sample names and dates.
Free, and no account needed
Everything you need to stop guessing.
Ontario moved Blue Box recycling from municipalities to producers, so garbage day and recycling day can now come from two different places. BinPilot puts them back on one calendar.
Your street's collection calendar
Enter your address once. Garbage, recycling, organics, yard waste and battery days appear on one calendar for your own home, from your municipality's published schedule and, for recycling, from Circular Materials.
Holiday shifts already in it
When a public holiday moves collection, your calendar moves with it. The change comes from the schedule itself, never from a guess.
Three ways to see it
A calendar with labels, a simple calendar with colour dots, or a large-text Accessibility view that shows one thing at a time. Set it up for a parent who finds small text hard.
What goes in which bin
Search an item and see where it goes. Recycling follows Ontario's province-wide Blue Box list, and your municipality's own rules are added city by city.
Works before you sign in
Open the app and your schedule is there. Collection days and sorting need no account.
BinPilot Household
Share the job, and stop arguing about whose turn it is.
The free calendar tells you which bin goes out. Household takes care of who takes it out, whether it got done, and remembering in the first place.
Every Household feature is free for 21 days. The trial starts the first time you use one, not when you install the app.
A duty roster that rotates itself
BinPilot names who is on duty for each collection day and rotates the job automatically, holiday shifts and all. Set the order to match how your home actually works.
Swap a day in two taps
Away on your turn? Propose a swap; the other person accepts or declines, and the duties and their reminders trade places.
Proof photos
Whoever is on duty takes a timestamped photo when the bins reach the curb, and the household can see it. "I did it" is settled by a picture.
Reminders that arrive on time
The evening before or the morning of, at the time you choose, listing exactly which bins go out. With a roster, only on your own duty days. BinPilot books exact alarms, so a 7:30 reminder fires at 7:30 even when the phone is idle.
Up to three addresses
Home, the cottage and a parent's place, each with its own schedule and reminders.
A month for the fridge
Print the month, so the people who drag the bins out can see it without a phone.
Sized by people
Household plans for 5, 10, 15 or 20 people, with settings for whoever runs the household.
Common questions
Before you download
Do I need an account?
No. Collection days and sorting work without one. An account is needed for the Household features, because they are shared between people.
How do I change the language?
BinPilot follows your phone's language automatically. To use a different one, open Settings and choose Language. Your reminders and household notices follow the language you pick.
Is my community covered?
BinPilot is built for Ontario, Canada, and coverage keeps growing. Enter your address: if your community is not covered yet, BinPilot says so plainly rather than show you a neighbouring town's collection day, and you can ask for it from inside the app.
What is free, and what is Household?
The calendar, holiday shifts, sorting help and all 27 languages are free. The duty roster, swaps, proof photos, reminders, extra addresses and printing are part of Household, which you can try free for 21 days. Prices are shown in the app and vary by country.
Where does the information come from?
From your municipality's published schedule and, for recycling, from Circular Materials. BinPilot is an independent app by Unigata Inc. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any municipality, region or Circular Materials, so always check your municipality for service changes.
Never wonder what goes out this week again.
