It's practical and pretty much all knowledgeable--not only can I search whatever product I want to dispose of/recycle, it will even tell me where I can drop them off! Not to mention there's a surprisingly well concocted game in the app too. Someone clearly worked very hard on this and it paid off! ### 5/5 — Reliable and Convenient *2017-01-13, version 2016.11.13* It's always up to date even during the rare hurricanes here. I never forget recycling or garbage now. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-12-23, version 2016.11.13* Always up-to-date; reminds which bin(s) to put out the night before; very helpful! ### 5/5 — Most useful app I have! *2016-12-16, version 2016.11.13* I'm dumb. I can never remember when to put out the trash. This is the only app I have setup with notifications. Now I never miss trash or recycling day. ### 5/5 — Hey put out the trash *2016-12-13, version 2016.11.13* Now my wife and mother-in-law don't have to re-whine me when it's time to take out the trash! Bahaha see what I did there. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2016-12-08, version 2016.11.13* This is great for keeping up with the garbage & recycling schedule. You receive alerts the day before of what's being picked up. ### 5/5 — Always have access to up-to-date city information *2016-12-07, version 2016.11.13* You can find whatever information you need on this app. I love it! ### 5/5 — Grandma *2016-10-19, version 2016.09.17* Great app- reminds you to take out one or both bins! Also,you can resolve problems via the app! ### 5/5 — Trash talking *2016-10-18, version 2016.09.17* Great app!!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-08-08, version 2016.07.02* It won't let you forget! Throws an alert on the app icon until you open the app. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2016-08-07, version 2016.07.02* Since we all have busy lives it's nice to know when they're going to pick up the garbage or the recycling. This app works great for that. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2016-06-17, version 2015.12.18* This is a great app. It's helpful to be able to check whether I should recycle or trash something I'm not sure about. The reminders for trash day are also helpful. I'm glad that Columbia has invested in expanding its recycling program. ### 5/5 — M Faris *2016-03-03, version 2015.12.18* Very useful app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Richland County Only *2024-10-05, version 2023.4.18* This app needs to specify on the description page that it only serves Richland County residents. If you are Lexington County, you will re redirected to the Lexington County Solid Waste app. But as of Oct 2024, a notice was put out that the app was going away with no word of a replacement so… Guess Lexington County users are out of luck. ### 1/5 — Cannot locate address *2016-03-23, version 2015.12.18* Not all addresses seem to be included in this database. Since mine is not, this app is no help for me. Will update rating if they ever add my address. ### 4/5 — App works well for p/up notifications *2016-08-19, version 2016.07.02* Wish it included an expanded or monitored version so more information could be exchanged between citizen customers and waste collection. ### 4/5 — Excellent App *2016-08-03, version 2016.07.02* Enjoy the reminders every week- garbage, yard trimmings and recycling days. Let's you know what holidays garbage will not be picked up. ### 4/5 — A big help *2016-03-15, version 2015.12.18* I'm glad Columbia has done this. Easy setup and very convenient. ### 4/5 — works well *2016-02-10, version 2015.12.18* a real timesaver to remember when recycling goes out! ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-10-06, version 2015.9.4* Very helpful. ### 4/5 — App *2015-08-29, version 1.0.0* This is a easy to use app. ### 5/5 — Must have *2025-05-05, version 2023.4.18* If you own or rent a house in the Columbia area, then this app is a must have. Super helpful for reminders and for updates on schedule changes. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2025-03-10, version 2023.4.18* This app is very helpful and easy to navigate. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weekly reminders! *2025-02-10, version 2023.4.18* Great app! Very useful. Need the reminders. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2024-01-15, version 2023.4.18* The app is very helpful when determining on what dates garbage and recycling will be collected; especially useful when holidays occur and garbage is collected on alternative days. Being able to use the search feature to determine what items are garbage, recyclable, taken to the landfill or can be accepted at the city facility is terrific. ### 5/5 — Well done. *2023-06-15, version 2023.4.18* Rare to come across a simple, useful, well laid out app that does what it is supposed to. Kudos to the team that put this together. ### 5/5 — King Street Neighbor *2023-05-16, version 2023.4.18* It’s a very good app. I wish other municipalities that I visit had one as good. ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-01-24, version 2022.9.24* Keeps me up to date ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2021-10-14, version 2021.7.15* Never thought that I would use this app as much as I do. It is informative, well laid out, easy to understand, easy to find the info you need, and super super helpful! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-10-09, version 2021.7.15* Great app. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — App *2021-07-26, version 2021.7.15* It is very helpful, more so around the holidays letting us know when they are coming.
