Calendar doesn’t work

This app used to be great but is now useless. The one thing you want from this app no longer works. Trash pick up calendar no longer functions. Stuck on holidays. What else would you use the app for? It’s been months. Not fixed even after updates. Bring back the calendar so we can see if it’s a recycle pick up day!!! Ring back the text reminders for pick up!!!

Was fine until today, not shows wrong date

It’s march 16, but my app is showing the date as Memorial Day, May 25 2026. There’s no way for me to check whether tomorrow is a recycling day or not, which was all I used the app for

What happened??

The app is totally impossible to use. What did you do with it?

Love it!

I was able to schedule an appt for my tree limbs to be picked up. Super easy to work with and to top it off love the reminder about trash day.. I use to wait and just see what my neighbors all had out lol

Very helpful app!

I scheduled lumber pick up service thru this app. Very easy to use. And they did come to pick up the lumbers on the scheduled day. I love the smooth user experience via this app, save lots of time waiting online to talk to customer service. Very helpful and convenient!

Recycle

Great service that benefits the city and its customers

Helpful in many ways

I use this app to remind me which days to put recycling out. Additionally, it has a great search feature about what to do with different discarded items - compost vs recycle vs trash. Never realized I was doing some of these wrong until I used the app. Also useful for setting up drop-off at the hazardous waste facility.

Great service!

Great reminder!

So much easier

I went to the City of Austin website as I regularly do to schedule a bulk trash pick up where I saw the notice of this new app. Besides being able to schedule pick up I found that I can also make appointments to drop off recyclable items that aren’t picked up curbside. Then if all that wasn’t making life easy enough I get a notice the day before trash day of which bins to put out. Absolutely stunned at how well this app works!!

A helpful app

Wow! This app is easy to use and gives good information.

Simple, fast, effective, useful

I’m super impressed with this app - it does everything you want it to do, quickly, with no fuss. I sort of had low expectations because it’s a government app, but… it’s just really solid. Whoever made this… can you sort out the State & Federal government websites next please.

My Perception

Weekly Trash Pickup is done efficiently and consistently.

I have the upmost respect for the work done by the employees that drive the trucks and pickup the trash.

Hard at work

The team are always hard at work appreciate their attitude.

Great handy app

This app helps keep track of when recycling is due but much more. I like the notifications of when there will be a change in schedule due to holidays.

Needs work

This app couldn’t find a street address in a neighborhood that was established 75 years ago. Go fig

Very helpful.

I can't remember which week is recycle, so this app saves my butt.

Useful for a resident

This app reminds me when to put trash out and I can check for upcoming services easily. I am thankful for the development of this app. -Wooten resident since 2007

Voiceover accessibility is broken.

I first used this app several years ago. At that time, it worked well. Apparently there has been an update, because VoiceOver Access is now broken. I needed to change my address, and no edit field appears. I am using an iPhone 8, with all current iOS updates that this phone will allow.

Very convenient

I love being able to open the app and schedule a recycling appointment.

No Need To Watch The Neighborhoods

The app is so helpful. I am now the first out.
