BinGuard

BinGuard helps residents and property managers reduce urban wildlife conflicts caused by overflowing or poorly secured trash. The app delivers a simple “trash-risk” checklist (bin type, lid condition, pickup day, food waste habits), then recommends the most effective fixes: locking straps, bin placement, composting options, and local rules. Users can set reminders tied to their collection schedule and log incidents (raccoons, coyotes, bears, rats) with photos and location. A lightweight map shows neighborhood hotspots and what interventions worked nearby, without turning into a noisy social feed. For cities and HOAs, BinGuard offers a dashboard to track repeat problem zones and push targeted guidance (not enforcement). This is not a magic wildlife-repellent app; it’s a practical behavior-and-infrastructure tool focused on the #1 driver of urban wildlife conflict: accessible food waste.
