Not working properly

Doesn’t rotate properly, tried to click on go to make the truck go after picking up trash, it won’t respond. Very frustrating.

Buggy update

A recent update to the original Garbage Truck game prevents the game from properly rotating with an iPad or iPhone in a landscape orientation. The same problem exists with Garbage Trick Austin as well. (FYI, the Fire Truck update that happened on the same day not produce the same problem in that game. It’s still working just fine.)

This application is terrible!

Save your money and avoid this steaming pile. It has terrible graphics, terrible controls, and is unusable by anyone, let alone a child. I bought this hoping it would be decent and immediately regretted the decision and deleted it.

Fun at the Landfill!

My kids love to collect the garbage then dump it at the new Landfill! yay! Autorotation with the new update! Thanks for all the new trucks too!

Perfect for my preschool son

My little boy loves garbage trucks and he loves this game. It's really easy and he can work it all by himself.
