*2022-10-18, version 2022.9.24*

The app reminds us when pickups are especially when there is a change.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-05-23, version 2022.5.3*

I no longer miss my pick up days. I recently had a bulky item pick up, it worked perfectly. Thank you for making this available to citizens.

### 5/5 — Great application allot of information

Everything you need to know about trash pickup schedule and it can even remind you

### 5/5 — Trash reminder

*2022-01-18, version 2021.12.19*

Great app for reminders

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2021-12-22, version 2021.12.19*

I’m not an app wiz, but this is far and away the most useful app.

### 4/5 — Pick up

*2021-12-12, version 2021.5.28*

Some times they pick trash on one side of the street but don’t come back to the other side of the street, so I leave it until next day and don’t get a pick up, I understand about man power shortage and equipment failure, so I don’t complain as much and where would be without the hard working men and women in solid waste who works rain and shine, thank you for your much needed service, a retired city worker

### 5/5 — Effective Way to Track Trash/Recycling Schedule

*2021-11-18, version 2021.5.28*

Thrilled to discover this app via the City’s website. No more struggles to remember how holidays impact our trash and recycling schedule. It’s all laid out here and easy to follow with notifications.

### 5/5 — Durham Progressive

*2021-09-06, version 2021.5.28*

Good to see that Durham is thinking forward. App is a great reminder feature!!

### 5/5 — A must have for Durham residents.

*2021-05-10, version 2021.4.27*

A great little app. Gives up to date information about refuse pickup with convenient notifications on the night prior. Simple, effective, and free. Can’t ask for more.

### 5/5 — Thank you,

*2021-05-07, version 2021.4.27*

Many thanks for your updates, delays and changes. It is most helpful.

### 1/5 — Used to Helpful-Not Anymore

*2026-02-05, version 2025.9.24*

This used to be a wonderful tool in years past, but starting in 2026 for some reason, it’s not being updated or modified based on holidays or bad weather. And those are the times that the tool was the most useful - when there was any type of schedule change due to a holiday or bad weather. Whoever used to be responsible for keeping this app updated must no longer work there.

### 1/5 — How did you lose my address???

*2025-01-13, version 2023.4.19*

For years, it worked great. Then - this week, it decided that it can no longer find the same address that it worked perfectly with for years. The heck did y’all do?

### 1/5 — Another way forCity of Durham to be lazy about its services

*2021-11-16, version 2021.5.28*

I got this because my street is often skipped by Durham Waste services and the other week, I received a notice that I would be fined for leaving my bins out on a non-trash day (even though it was because they didn’t pick up). I rolled it out this week when they said I should; they skipped our street. Rolled the bin back up to my house so I don’t get fined, and report it using this app. I don’t get any notice saying “leave your bin out on Tuesday for pick up” or anything like that. Then I get a notice “this issue has been resolved, your trash was picked up today”, look in my bin….nope. Probably they came by and since it wasn’t on the street (because of that fine notice), they didn’t pick up. City of Durham, just do your job. Quit acting like an app is fill in for shoddy services.

### 2/5 — Let’s play Roulette!!

*2020-08-18, version 2020.5.29*

I have tried to use this app. It has potential, but it is not accurate at all for anything other then green can trash.  Recycle might get picked up on assigned day, but most likely day after.  Yard waste was the ONLY alert that worked but....psych your yard waste is going to sit at curb for several weeks.   I have reported just 1 bulky item in last 6 years of living in Durham.  Almost, 2 months now and still sitting at curb. No feedback, no pickup. Why am I paying for any of these services???

### 3/5 — Calendar

*2025-08-05, version 2025.6.24*

Since the beginning of August 2025, the calendar hasn’t been working.  It says that I need to search an event, like yard waste, but never shows results.

### 3/5 — Not as good as it used to be.

*2025-03-03, version 2023.4.19*

App was functioning up until several months ago where it started getting glitchy. Very difficult to find what carts are supposed to be rolling out each week. Have reported this. No fix.

### 3/5 — down load

*2020-12-27, version 2020.12.5*

This is a great app, but i can NOT down on my phone!😡

### 4/5 — Calendar not working

*2025-07-01, version 2025.6.24*

The calendar stopped working.  All is says is “ please type” and nothing happens no matter what you type

### 4/5 — Good information

*2025-02-19, version 2023.4.19*

Durham rollout is good for reminding me which week it is (recycling or regular garbage) as well as other helpful info.

### 4/5 — Opt out option desired for yard waste

*2022-11-19, version 2022.9.24*

This is a helpful App, especially for recycling since it does not occur weekly. However, I do not subscribe to yard waste pickup and would like the ability to opt out of getting auto notices for it.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-04-15, version 2023.4.19*

Very easy to use. I like it

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2025-02-19, version 2023.4.19*

Prior to downloading this app, I was always forgetting to put the trash to the curb. Or, my wife would be the one that will remind me to put the trashcan to the curb. Downloading this app was the fix, I really appreciate the service!

### 5/5 — Felicidades

*2025-01-14, version 2023.4.19*

Muchas gracias por preocuparse por la comunidad.  Gracias a esta aplicación podemos estar más pendientes y enterarnos con exactitud que día exactamente van a pasar por la basura.  Muchas gracias. Y felicidades.

### 5/5 — Nice and helpful

*2024-12-03, version 2023.4.19*

This app is very helpful especially when the holidays fall on Mondays.

### 5/5 — I chose the app

*2024-01-06, version 2023.4.19*

You could put the schedule on your calendar but I chose the app. It simplifies the expectation of when to do what on what day and the app is colorful too.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-11-18, version 2023.4.19*

Before I discovered this app, I was often missing, trash, recycle and yard waste pickup. After years of having one pick up date, it changed to three different dates and I was always missing it. This app is awesome because it connects to my calendar so I can always look at it and see when the next pick up is to occur

### 5/5 — Just what I needed…

*2023-08-03, version 2023.4.19*

This app has proven to be so useful for determining, which days are trash days, or recycle days, or organic refuge day. And the reminder email certainly helps as well.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-04-17, version 2022.9.24*

I love the app

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2023-02-08, version 2022.9.24*

Great app that gets the job done

### 5/5 — Yes…….But!!

*2022-11-04, version 2022.9.24*

The app is a great reminder tool however I can not say the same about the weekly pick up. For more than eight straight weeks our trash has not been picked up on its scheduled date. It’s missed on Thursday, then Thursday evening I submit a one call ticket and on Saturday morning the trash is finally picked up and the cart can be moved to the rear of the home as required by solid waste’s instructions. Do the route personnel run by any route sheet or computer/GPS CAD system? You would think after 8 plus weeks of continuous one call submissions that someone within operations would follow up. Oh…maybe they are working from home.
