BINNERS' PROJECT APP
|
The Binners' Project is currently working on an application aimed at increasing economic opportunities for binners. It will allow residents to work together with binners to ultimately achieve a zero-waste city. This will support the pick-up services program that is already implemented by the Binners’ Project in Vancouver. We initiated a partnership with VanHack in January 2016, which kickstarted our app project. |
