Ratings and reviews

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.

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).

The app isn't anything special but it does what it's supposed to do good. The app has some really helpful features like sending you notifications for when to put out garbage/recycling. I also appreciate that the app has a search function to help ID if an item is recyclable. I would 10/10 recommend this app to anyone who finds keeping up with recycling/garbage overwhelming or confusing.
