New waste app: accessibility and multi-locations from September 2024
The Waste app, an important waste disposal tool, will receive a significant update on September 2, 2024. The new version 3.0 adds numerous useful functions that improve usability and accessibility. What is particularly noteworthy is that the app now takes the users' individual settings, such as font size, into account. This means that people who prefer larger fonts can use the app in a way they are comfortable with. Functions such as dark mode and the reading function are now integrated to make it easier for everyone to use.
The initial setup of the app is also simplified. Users do not need to download a new app as the update is installed automatically. When using the updated app for the first time, users will be guided through a step-by-step process to configure their personal settings. This includes entering your place of residence and selecting the desired waste fractions and news categories. After entering this information, users can immediately set reminders for garbage collection, making scheduling much easier.
New features and ease of use
After the initial setup, users can expect a new homepage that offers all important information at a glance. Here you will find details about the next bin emptying, current news, your preferred disposal facilities and a practical ABC waste search. The app is designed so that all relevant functions are easily accessible, which significantly improves handling for users.
Another exciting feature of version 3.0 is the ability to manage multiple locations. Users can now create different addresses and receive the corresponding information about bin emptying and messages for each address. This multi-location feature is particularly helpful for people who live or work in multiple locations and want to stay informed about waste disposal.
However, there is an important note for iOS users: the new version of the Waste app is only available for devices with iOS 15.5 or later. Users of older iOS versions will need to continue using the previous app until they can update their operating system.
