Buddy
Buddy is the BinDayBuddy host, here to help you find your next useful step. Welcoming and curious, Buddy makes a tricky choice feel manageable and cheers when someone tries again.
“Before we choose a bin, could we use it again?”
What they’re known for
Keeping a small mental checklist, then finding the best answer is sometimes to use less in the first place.
Their tip for home
Before you throw something away, ask: could we use it again, or mend it? Then check your council’s rules.
