More than 60,000 residents are now using the East Devon app for information on recycling and waste collection.

This is according to a spokesperson from East Devon District Council.

Writing on Twitter, they said: "Over 60,000 East Devon residents now use the East Devon App, for information on their recycling and waste collections.

"You can also set alerts as a reminder of your collection days."

Available for both iPhone and Android users, the East Devon app offers more than just waste collection dates.

Users can report fly-tipping, view planning applications, find nearest recycling banks, examine local food hygiene ratings, and even access local council contact details.

The app also brings East Devon residents closer to the council for updates.
