I was really excited about this app, but unfortunately no addresses in my city populate, just random addresses in the county. It would be helpful if the app gave some sort of notice that the search was unsuccessful instead of just going blank (leaving me to wonder if it had loaded at all). Only when I checked the website did I find out that my municipality isn't covered. It's odd (a bit confusing) that i was able to select my city on the app but didn't see a notice anywhere it wasn't an option

Informative. Keeps us up to date on upcoming garbage and recycling days, as well as changes to the schedule, additional recycling/disposal opportunities (paint, paper shredding, etc.), and has plenty of customizable notifications so you get what you're interested in receiving. Can even customize how far in advance you'd like to get notified! Very impressed. Please, keep up the good work!

I find the recycle coach app to be quite helpful in several ways. It let's me find out if my trash and recycling will be picked up or just trash. Also there is a lot of interesting information posted in the app. For instance the recent information about how customers with good intentions are often doing the wrong thing. I love the term "wish recycling" where someone hopes that a particular item is recyclable when it isn't. I'm guilty! keep up the good work.
