Best deal around. -Bird Creek ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2021-01-19, version 2020.12.5* I really appreciate the reminder of when the recycling pickup occurs. I always struggled to remember that before. Now it’s easy to check in the app. I also love the easy reference for what can be thrown in the trash, recycled, and what needs to be taken elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Mrs Hensel *2021-01-03, version 2020.12.5* I find the app very nice and easy to use but it is really nice fir telling me that it is time for trash pickup time Thank you I love the new app helps me ### 5/5 — Caravelle Drive *2021-01-02, version 2020.12.5* We have always been appreciative of your dependable trash and recycling pick up service. Having a reminder makes this even more valuable. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-01-02, version 2020.12.5* Very easy to use and super helpful. ### 5/5 — Reminder *2020-12-31, version 2020.12.5* To hear the trash truck coming down the road at the last minute is never good, with this app it takes the guessing game out of the equation when trash day is on a holiday. ### 5/5 — Reminder *2020-08-15, version 2019.11.21* I’d the greatest thing to help me keep the schedule right! ### 5/5 — Love the App *2020-05-29, version 2019.11.21* Love this App. Never miss another garbage day, even around the holidays. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-04-29, version 2019.11.21* Simple and easy. I appreciate the reminders right on my watch. ### 5/5 — Reminders *2020-04-23, version 2019.11.21* I love that the reminders tells me when recycling is so I don’t have to try to figure out when I put it out last. ### 5/5 — Really pleased *2020-01-31, version 2019.11.21* Haven’t needed trash pickup for 20 yrs and suddenly I needed it. Been very happy with the customer service and the consistency of pickups. ### 5/5 — Long steep driveway *2020-01-11, version 2019.11.21* With our long steep driveway remembering last minute it’s pick up day when you see or hear the trash or recycling truck just doesn’t work. The reminder is fantastic and has helped prevent missed pickup days. ### 5/5 — Alaska Waste App *2019-12-20, version 2019.11.21* The schedule is at my fingertips — awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update Ruins Calendar *2025-08-26, version 2025.8.13* The only reason I have this app is to have the calendar showing the collection days and whether it is or is not recycling week. The app removed those functions so it’s completely useless to me now. ### 1/5 — Cant find addresses *2023-11-15, version 2023.4.21* App couldn’t even find 3 out of the 4 addresses I searched. All three addresses are well inside Anchorage city limits. I deleted it within 5 minutes of downloading it. Worthless. ### 1/5 — App error *2020-09-28, version 2019.11.21* The calendar isn’t working properly. It shows recycling as every week when it is actually every other week, making the calendar function more or less useless. This is a known error. ### 3/5 — Trash review *2023-08-26, version 2023.4.21* The reminders for pickup are great. It would be nice to stay in the app for bill pay instead of getting sent to a browser website to have to login to another site ### 4/5 — One of the few allowed to give Notifications *2021-04-29, version 2020.12.5* Very helpful to remind me when to put out the recycling. Be nice if you could also track the trucks when they’re nearby for those last minute scrambles. ### 5/5 — Solid service *2025-05-27, version 2023.4.21* I appreciate the reminder about garbage pickup. I like the service I get when I call the office. ### 5/5 — Informative *2025-01-22, version 2023.4.21* It’s helpful to get information about service adjustments or anything else you may need to know. ### 5/5 — I am absolutely loving the trash day reminders *2024-09-06, version 2023.4.21* Thank you for all you do! You are all appreciated! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-02-06, version 2023.4.21* This septuagenarian finds the reminder feature of this app very helpful particularly when “trash day” coincides with a holiday ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-04-24, version 2023.4.21* I love this app because I have a bad memory and this app helps me remember to put my trash can outside each week. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reminder *2023-03-31, version 2022.9.26* I love the reminders!
