Ratings and reviews

I was hoping for an easy-to-use app showing which materials I could recycle in my blue box or take to a recycling location nearby. Unintuitive and lacking information. I was looking about how to recycle three ringed loose leaf binders. There are not enough options for alternative names for different items. Very disappointed.

Frustrating how few recycling resources are listed, as a employee of a recycling depot in Kelowna I'm confused as to why only one of the resources I know of personaly is listed. And it is very annoying to be asked Constantly to turn on my location I would be ok entering a location but I do not wish for other apps on my phone to track my location. I was really hoping I could use this app to help myself and my customers who want to recycle but don't have a easy or fast way of contacting local resources.

Not useful. Recommend retiring it. Using your internet browser will yield far better and more accurate information. I hope that no tax dollars were spent on building this thing. Disposing of something like used oil seems to require quite a bit of effort. I think places like Canadian Tire that sell oil should be mandated to accept and process the used oil. Styrofoam can also be a challenge to find a place to recycle in this app does not help. No surprise people dump it roadside.
