Text Message Reminders for Recycling Launched by GreenBoxDay




GreenBoxDay are delighted to announce the launch of our new text reminder service for recycling and refuse collections.

Our registered users and councils have been telling us for some time that they wanted a text reminder service as well as the free email service and we have responded.

Reminder texts and emails are available for the Edinburgh, Shrewsbury, Telford and Wrekin, Lichfield and Cannock areas with more areas coming on board in the coming weeks.

You can start and stop the text system when you like and text are charged at 25p each.

Simply enter your postcode above and click 'Check'. If we are able to to offer a service we will give you on screen instructions on how to register for both the text message reminders and the free email reminders.
