Summary

Valley Curbside Recycling uses Twilio to create a simple voice line for their curbside recycling business, which answers calls based on the time of day with an automated audio FAQ about subscription rates and recyclable materials. The system was built using 20 lines of PHP code in just 30 minutes, including setup time. With its innovative approach, Valley Curbside Recycling aims to keep things simple for their small, local operation, which relies on one man and a van to collect recycling from select neighborhoods in Christiansburg, VA.
