AnyJunk iPhone Application Gets Your Waste Collected Conveniently

— June 21, 2011 — Eco
The new AnyJunk iPhone application makes getting rid of any old junk a breeze. You simply record a video of the waste you want collecting, then through the phone's GPS it tells them your location, you select a collection time, they will respond to you with a quote for coming to take it all away. Simple!

Types of junk that can be collected from the AnyJunk iPhone application includes old furniture, clothes, bric-a-brac, broken appliances, office equipment, refurbishment waste and builders’ rubble and garden refuse.

AnyJunk has also won awards for its customer service, use of technology, and eco-friendly disposal practices. In 2010, 79% of waste collected by AnyJunk was diverted from landfill. AnyJunk has operations across the UK. Materials are taken to licensed waste transfer stations and recycling facilities or passed on to reuse organisations (including Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation).

The big attraction of the AnyJunk iPhone application is that it allows customers to get a much more precise quote without having to wait for a truck team to visit beforehand. An iPhone video is almost as good as being on site when it comes to quoting for a job.
Trend Themes
1. On-demand Waste Collection - The AnyJunk iPhone application streamlines the process of getting rid of junk by allowing users to record a video of the waste they want collecting and receive a quote for the job.
2. Mobile App Integration in Waste Management - AnyJunk's innovative iPhone application demonstrates the potential for mobile app integration in the waste management industry, providing a convenient and efficient solution for customers.
3. Precise Quoting Through Video Technology - The use of video technology in the AnyJunk application enables customers to receive a more accurate quote for waste collection without the need for an on-site visit, presenting opportunities for other industries to enhance their quoting processes.
Industry Implications
1. Waste Management - The AnyJunk iPhone application highlights the potential for disruption in the waste management industry, offering a convenient and digitally integrated solution for customers to dispose of their junk.
2. Mobile Applications - AnyJunk's innovative iPhone application demonstrates the role of mobile applications in facilitating waste collection services, paving the way for further developments and opportunities in the mobile app industry.
3. Video Technology - The use of video technology in the AnyJunk application presents opportunities for industries beyond waste management, such as construction and insurance, to leverage precise quoting and assessment processes through remote video inspections.
