Now at first I didn't know why this would be an advantage over a simple calendar reminder. But I see that it interfaces with the Council API and queries based on the user's address, so it can ascertain the actual schedule as published by the guys who write it; should be accurate.
This is a cool thing, and I wish it could be generalized to a lot of different things. Public services that have a regular schedule, until there is a holiday and then it's offset. Public services that don't have a regular schedule, and you may need to depend on an announcement or watching a web page for the next occurrence.
Right now, I just tend to enter such things into my Google Calendar and roughly try to predict the future schedules. For example, my city's recycling center is open for a few morning hours a few days a week. They also have a big "Zero Waste Day" event every quarter. It'd be great to get these schedules from the horse's mouth, and be able to query some web page, "I've got a pile of junk! When will the recycling center be open next?"
