StreetCred
What is StreetCred?
StreetCred is BinBosh's community reputation system. You earn points by helping your neighbours keep their bin schedules accurate — creating schedules, confirming collection days, voting on bank holiday changes, and reporting problems. The more you contribute, the higher your reputation.

Schedule creation points are held in escrow until three neighbours adopt the schedule. This prevents gaming — you only get credit for schedules people actually use.

Why it matters
Bin schedules are only useful if they're accurate. StreetCred incentivises real people to keep the data fresh. When you see a trust badge on a schedule, it means your neighbours have confirmed it — not an algorithm, not a scraper, not a council database from 2019.
The more people participate, the more reliable every street's schedule becomes. That's the whole idea: trust built by neighbours, for neighbours.
