Ratings and reviews

It's been a few years that I use this app and I see it as a handy but effective app. In most cases all I need to do is to read the reminder to know what is being collected this week (and thanks for decluttering the reminder text!). I also used it a few times to communicate with waste management and send pictures, like when my bin was mishandled. Great thing is that they are responsive! The only improvement would be to get reminders for events like those one day damaged bin replacement set ups.

UPDATE: This app has been great App is still great but latest update removed the waste collection calendar so now I need to go on the web to view it. I don't look at it often but try to plan ahead when I know a holiday is coming up that will change the schedule in case I'm not home. Plus the latest update disabled notifications, I didn't receive app or text notifications this week. I re-enabled app notifications so not such a big deal, but ideally the update would retain this setting.

I have been using this app for a few years now. It notifies me a reminder every week at 6pm the night before pickup and says what will be picked up the following day. It's great for around holidays when pickup days sometimes change from the norm and also helps with specially pickups such as battery collection, Christmas tree collection etc.
