### 5/5 — Great weekly reminder!

*2025-02-17, version 2023.4.22*

Such a helpful reminder…love the added information about certain kinds of recycling too!

### 5/5 — I will miss you!

*2024-12-02*

I’ve been using the app for the last 4+ years. I moved into a new housing development/neighborhood just before pandemic madness. I noticed that the pick up days were wrong as well as the recycle collection items. 

I sent an email to the developers and most was corrected but some didn’t get caught until I reviewed the schedule again. This time sending the pride schedules for my address and neighborhood.

WA Co developer received, reviewed and promptly updated the information and has been flawless since.

Sad to say it has come time for me to delete the app since I’ve moved away from the area and sold my home. I have informed the new home owners about the app so they can have updated pickup days and know what items are available to set out.

I will miss you!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2024-11-06*

It’s so hard some weeks to remember what pick up week it is. We used to get the paper calendar but, no longer. This app takes the guess work away!!

### 5/5 — Updates are very useful‼️

*2024-07-12*

Easy to use & a great way to be informed. I appreciate being able to find answers to my questions so trash day goes well for me & the collectors.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2024-04-18*

Very handy to keep track of which weeks are yard waste, and which weeks are recycling, glass batty. Also does great notifying me about extra recycling and leaf drop off events. 

On my new phone, the notifications aren’t quite right and I’ve checked everything. The notification message do happen and sometimes I see it. But I no longer get the circle with a number in it notification. I miss this.

### 1/5 — Junk, address database missing many addresses

*2024-01-21, version 2023.4.22*

Entered my address, it matched to a nonexistent address - worthless

### 5/5 — Timely and useful

*2024-01-17*

These notifications and updates during extreme weather events are very helpful

### 4/5 — Helpful but prone to crashing

*2023-12-10*

The app is helpful to keep track of what collection events are taking place each week.  Unfortunately, the current version crashes when tapping event types (Mixed Recycling, Battery Collection, Garbage, etc) for more detail.

### 5/5 — Small garbage can

*2023-10-02*

Love the app. Helpful for an old lady. Does extra recycled boxes (from moving) cost more when can is packed full?  How about regular garbage in the smaller can?  Can I place black garbage bags next to that can or would it cost more?  Thank you

### 5/5 — Garbage.  Vs recycle.

*2023-10-01, version 2023.4.22*

Good to know
