User reviews

Simple to use

Really easy to use and makes recycling very simple! Nice little app. Generates a barcode to use at the recycling centre. Very streamlined and quick process. Highly recommend getting the app to make things easy.

Won’t give correct location

Standing in the rain one metre away from the Hawker Shops pod, refreshing location multiple times (yes location services were on) and it continued to insist I was at Charnwood. If I want to rectify the situation, I have to PHONE someone for an override code. I give up. I then took the time to go to the main hub in the commercial district at Belconnen. There was a queue for physically counting bottles, so I went to the drop off area. This time - despite location sharing still being on - it insisted I was in Conder. I now have a boot full of bottles that will go in the yellow recycling bin

Sloppy

App looks like a website mashed into an app, not the work of a professional app developer.

Accessibility is very poor. Dynamic Type does not work. VoiceOver is impossible.

Just use the actual website.
