Ratings and reviews

Good: Push notifications for garbage collection reminders is an amazing feature. Bad: - Poorly designed app icon gives me sketchy vibes (come on you guys can do better. I know you have a bunch of smart designers there.) - Information is poorly structured. - garage sales are not helpful. What, are we still in 90s? We are way past the flyer days. Instead including features similar to FB market place would be useful or simply link to FB market place. - electronic waste collection can be impoved.

I love the reminders the evening before specifying what is to be disposed of that week. I also like the guides as to what is or is not recyclable/compostable and how to dispose of the more obscure household items. Very user friendly and simple interface. It would be useful to have a breakdown with visuals of each recyclable plastic and what its corresponding number means (the one inside the triangle).

Works well and I like getting the notifications. It does take awhile for the app to be updated with changes though. When the switch to weekly Compost and bi-weekly blue bag pick up was implemented for instance. Overall, I am glad they put this out, especially with the cancelation of the paper calendar.
