Simplifying Curbside Collection with a Municipal App

Keeping residents informed about curbside collection services like garbage, recycling, and snow removal is a critical responsibility for municipalities. Yet, traditional methods such as mailed flyers or static website updates often leave citizens guessing about service schedules —especially when unexpected changes occur.

Info Grove offers a Curbside Services module in its mobile app platform to make curbside collection easier for everyone, both for municipalities and their residents. This functionality helps streamline communication and ensures citizens stay informed about the services they rely on.

What Is the Curbside Services Module?

The Curbside Services module allows municipalities to manage and share curbside service schedules efficiently. This feature allows residents to:

• View schedules in calendar view for services like garbage, recycling, organics, snow removal, or street cleaning.
• Enter their address to see personalized schedules for their region.
• Receive reminders and push notifications tailored to their preferences, ensuring they never miss a collection day—even during holidays or unexpected schedule changes.

How It Works

Municipal staff can use the Info Grove Content Management System (CMS) to define service types, set up regions or specific addresses, and schedule notifications. Residents simply need to access the app, input their address, and they’re ready to go.

This seamless process eliminates confusion, reduces missed pickups, and fosters a stronger connection between municipal services and the community.

Why It Matters

Traditionally, municipalities have relied on physical mailers or static online calendars to share curbside collection information. These methods are often inefficient, prone to error, and fail to meet the needs of tech-savvy citizens who expect real-time updates and reminders.

The Curbside Services module bridges this gap by providing timely, location-specific notifications and schedules directly through a mobile app. Residents benefit from convenience and clarity, while municipalities can improve service efficiency, reduce administrative workload, and enhance citizen satisfaction.

Looking Ahead

As municipalities continue to explore ways to modernize services, features like Curbside Services represent a significant step forward. By leveraging mobile app technology, cities can ensure that residents stay informed, engaged, and connected to the services they depend on.
