- 4
Authorize with Google
Choose your Google account and allow BinSync to create a separate waste calendar. Google returns you to BinSync for confirmation.
No ICS import needed on Android
Some waste providers offer an ICS file or calendar link. The Google Calendar Android app cannot import or add those directly. With BinSync, you connect the waste calendar through Google without using a computer for setup.
BinSync creates a separate calendar in your Google account. Connecting is free; with Plus, BinSync checks the provider for changed collection days and updates the calendar. An imported ICS file is only a snapshot.
Frequently asked questions about Google Calendar
Will my waste calendar update automatically?+
The Google connection is free. With Plus, BinSync checks the provider every two days for changes and updates the connected calendar. Without Plus, BinSync does not keep checking the provider.
Do I need an ICS file or computer on Android?+
No. You can connect BinSync to Google in your phone's browser. The Google Calendar Android app cannot itself import an ICS file or add a calendar link.
Will the calendar appear on my Android phone?+
Yes, when the same Google account is signed in and the BinSync calendar is visible and syncing in the Google Calendar app.
Can I set reminders?+
You can use the added calendar's settings in Google Calendar. For supported addresses, BinSync also provides one person with a free email on the evening before collection. Plus adds extra reminders and recipients.
