As all the other reviewers say, I love knowing which carts go out without having to guess based on what the neighbors are doing. ### 5/5 — Prayers answered! *2021-05-20, version 2021.4.27* Wondering whether you can recycle that clean red Solo cup? (Not at curbside pickup!) what about magazines? Paper that has plastic tape on it, or wrapping paper? So many questions, all answered here :-) Thank you Waco! ### 5/5 — Practical and Helpful! *2020-11-11* This app has helped me to remember not only that it’s the night to take out the trash but also what else goes out! Gone is the dilemma of trying to recall whether it’s recycling or yard clippings. And, I use it often to find out WHAT is recyclable. Very practical, easy to use and helpful. ### 5/5 — Garbage day reminder! *2020-10-06, version 2020.8.14* I love this app. It reminds me what I need to do for my garbage day. It changes every week so it’s nice to have a reminder. I find thisExtremely useful ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-08-10, version 2020.5.28* I started to rely on this app to make sure if it is only garbage day vs. all recycled. Also a lot of great information to help me do proper recycling. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Wish everyone knew about this app *2020-07-10* I love this app because it makes it clear what is and is not recyclable and I feel like if more people knew about it, there would much less wish-cycling ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-06-30, version 2020.5.28* Reminders are helpful; app is easy to navigate. No complaints! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-04-20, version 2020.3.18* Not only does it remind me what it put out and when it has great information about recycling events near me. ### 5/5 — Recycling help when you need it *2020-04-18, version 2020.3.18* I love being able to search for things to see if they are recyclable or trash. I’ve learned so much ### 5/5 — Flashlight batteries *2020-03-04, version 2019.12.19* Wish you could pick up flashlight batteries and other hazardous items. Thanks for good job. ### 5/5 — Saves an Extra Trip *2020-01-17* We are a little less than an eighth of a mile from our garbage pick up point. It is important to know which week is recycle week and if pick up day has been cancelled for whatever reason to save the extra trip. Weather permitting my husband walks the garbage container up but we usually drive it up our dirt road. I was happy ten years ago to have a paper schedule to put on the fridge. Now I have it in my hand. How good is that.👍 ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2020-01-04, version 2019.12.19* So nice to know what cans to put out and get holiday schedules. I especially like the lookup feature for recycling. I just found out about local Christmas tree recycle events. Great design — thanks for providing it! ### 5/5 — Well done *2019-09-30* Simple, it takes me about 15 sec to find out what bucket to take out today. The first thing that pops up is the screen of what is being picked up next. Well done! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Inaccurate data. Not finding any homes in my hood *2021-03-02, version 2020.12.7* I tried several homes in my neighborhood. No data, no schedule, useless. ### 1/5 — Missed the boat *2018-06-02, version 2018.01.18* What about all the subscribers in Beaverton? ### 2/5 — Used to completely love it *2022-05-27, version 2022.5.8* The badging of the app icon on the evening before pickup has stopped working. I’ve tried everything, including uninstall reinstall. I’ve read about this issue and the suggestions have not worked for me. I’m phone and tech literate. There’s a bug in the code, or an iOS release messed it up, or something. This badge is what I relied on. I still get app notifications, but if I read it and forget, or never see it, it’s 50/50 if I get the garbage out that evening. Just me and how my brain works. Maybe for others this is not that big an issue. Please please please fix the formerly most valuable app I used ### 3/5 — Normally works great *2023-05-29* But now in the current version if you try to expand the upcoming collection category the app crashes. Scroll to a previous week and it expands ok and has the bonus effect of expanded the current week category. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Muy útil a la hora de decidir qué puedo reciclar *2019-06-20, version 2019.5.24* A veces no estoy seguro si algunas cosas se pueden reciclar y esta aplicación ha sido muy útil. Yo no sabía que Sherwin Williams recibe sobrantes de pintura que ya no usaré, es un ejemplo de lo que encontré. Y lo otro que definitivamente agradezco es cuando recibo avisos de los eventos para reciclar el unicel, las llantas entre otras cosas que regularmente tienen costo para reciclarse, y en esos eventos no. Es buena aplicación. ### 4/5 — Great app, slight regression though *2018-10-12, version 2018.10.5* This app has always had 5 star functionality, but I have to say the elimination of colored icons is a definite downgrade. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Timely and useful *2024-01-17* These notifications and updates during extreme weather events are very helpful ### 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 ### 5/5 — Reliable *2023-03-06, version 2022.9.26* They’re doing a dirty job and I’m thankful. This app. tells me what I need to know. ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2022-04-10, version 2021.12.15* I usually remember what is being picked up, but just in case I don’t it’s good to have a dependable back up to be sure ### 5/5 — Great *2022-01-31, version 2021.12.15* Great info --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
