The problem

Contamination costs you money. Confusion is the cause.

Your A-Z list has 200 items. Your residents throw out 10,000 different things. The gap between what's documented and what's in the bin is where contamination lives.

You audit bins after the damage is done. What if you could see the confusion before it hits the kerb?

What SortLake does

One App Platform. Every answer.

⚡ Instant AI search

Residents type anything. "Broken IKEA shelf." "Greasy pizza box." "Half-used paint tin." They get the right bin, specific to your council's rules. Not a keyword match. Actual understanding.

📷 Photo scan

Point. Shoot. Sorted. The camera identifies items and tells residents exactly where they go. No reading, no guessing.

📊 Confusion data

See what your residents search. What they get wrong. Which items cause the most hesitation. A live signal you've never had. Without opening a single bin.

🔔 Bin night reminders

Push notifications the evening before collection, with the correct bins colour-coded for that specific week. Residents never miss a night or put out the wrong bin.

The intelligence layer

Know what your residents get wrong. Before it hits the kerb.

Every search is a data point. SortLake turns resident behaviour into actionable contamination intelligence that no bin audit, survey, or website analytics can give you.
