Might be related to your current venture, but I'd use an app whereby neighbours notified each other of any spare bin space they had that week. I could often use extra recycling or green waste space, but hate being the guy roaming the street at night trying to stuff garbage in random bins.

It might be worth teaming up with a local charity in this case. You could give the charity first pick of the items and then open it up to the public.

Good luck with the project.
