So easy to use!! Never make a mistake. ### 5/5 — Guide *2025-04-10, version 2023.4.19* It was a good reminder since they opt out sending a hard copy. It’s really helpful. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-09, version 2023.4.19* I refer to this app at least once a week so I know what to put out. It is one of the apps that I don’t want to live without.

A blue bin would really be great. When I lived in Malton Ontario I bought a really great back yard composter for my yard at a good price from Brampton waste depot and something like that would be handy here. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Very helpful App *2025-02-18, version 2023.4.19* I like being notified of what is being picked each week.

Garbage, recyclycling, food composting. Great app!! ### 4/5 — I like it *2024-12-31, version 2023.4.19* I like the app. I enjoy how you can search to find out what goes where. I like the reminders on collection day although lately I can’t seem to get my notifications so a bit frustrating. Overall a good app ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2024-12-31, version 2023.4.19* Nice and useful app also garbage service is very good ### 5/5 — Easy reference guide *2024-12-12, version 2023.4.19* Find it much easier to refer to the app rather than trying to remember when and what to put outside ### 5/5 — Laurence *2024-11-01, version 2023.4.19* Easy to use good reminders useful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This App needs an upgrade! *2026-04-30* This app is not working as previous one, there is no calendar on the calendar icon!! Just search option which is very frustrating as you want to see your next garbage n recycling day, yard waste etc it only gives notification about it one day before and on the day !! Please change it back as it was before! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-16* I have been stuck on the calendar section for months. Tried to delete and add again.. still no fix. Have email for assistance no reply. The App is now useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, in Recollect a RouteWare Company (app Provider) we care about our app, Please submit your complaint at: resident-support@recollect.net and include the name of the app that you are using in the email and your full address.

It wants to add places like Washington, Florida, and Nebraska. Or, it substitutes another Edmonton address totally different by a hundred blocks! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, in Recollect a RouteWare Company (app Provider) we care about our app, Please submit your complaint at: resident-support@recollect.net and include the name of the app that you are using in the email and your full address.

Not even a ‘later’ option. The app and I are at a stand-off. ### 2/5 — Waste Wise but wastes iPad space *2024-04-20, version 2023.4.19* This app needs optimization. I know lots of newer devices have space to spare but on older iPads especially with bloated OS updates, 99.3 megabytes makes a difference. The 311 Edmonton app only uses 4.7 megabytes. Should be a way to remove the “games”. ### 3/5 — Still buggy *2026-01-04* Several places show a question or statement that is truncated and you have to guess what’s being asked **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, in Recollect a RouteWare Company (app Provider) we care about our app, Please submit your complaint at: resident-support@recollect.net and include the name of the app that you are using in the email and your full address.

Francisco @ ReCollect Systems Inc. ### 3/5 — App’s Search function crashes on 40% of searches *2024-12-03, version 2023.4.19* App’s Search function crashes on 40% of searches ### 3/5 — Not as good as city of Calgary list and crashes *2024-09-30, version 2023.4.19* Often the app closes during a search. City of Calgary has a comprehensive list that is also linked to additional info. Edmonton has a clickable category I.e. plastics and then you search an item. It’s not very user friendly and not comprehensive. What else is new when you consider Edmonton services, projects and taxes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2025-10-23* It’s so much easy to segregate garbage now, since there are information to where and when will you put the exact schedule per each item. ### 5/5 — Super useful *2025-09-16* I like the sorting lookup feature ### 5/5 — As advertised *2025-08-31* Really helpful and tells you when the trash will be picked up as advertised. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-08-27* Really thankful to the people who created this app. Thank you so much for your hard work! ### 5/5 — Thank you for your hard work! *2025-08-12* Very helpful, thank you! ### 5/5 — Blue bin needed *2025-07-18* The birds don’t get at it but it’s hard to clean it ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-07-16* Very handy to find out pick up schedules and for sorting out recycling articles ### 5/5 — Edmonton waste wise *2025-07-14, version 2023.4.19* Love this system the city is cleaner and less animals in the garbage. ### 5/5 — Handy app to have *2025-07-08, version 2023.4.19* It’s useful to know which days are selected for pickup in your area with a quick look on the app . For those who want to put the effort into recycling with minimal “wishcycling”, it’s helpful in selecting what is appropriate for the blue bag and what is not. And the app is well designed as well which makes it easy to use. Well done! ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-06-16, version 2023.4.19* Very helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
