## What is Garbage Truck?

A favorite app of Garbage Truck loving kids around the world!

A fun and cute interactive app for Kids!

Ride along on a Garbage Truck on garbage day as it drives through a neighborhood.  Help the garbage man pick up the garbage cans. When the truck gets full, it's time to drive the truck to the landfill to dump all the garbage!
A real treat for those little garbage truck enthusiasts and a great way to encourage curiosity and interaction for all. Touch the driver and he honks the horn. Touch a cloud as it passes by and it smiles and hums. The neighborhood is interactive. When your child touches people, animals, or objects they make sounds and perform actions. Its like a moving story book!

A great way to explore the sights and sounds of a Garbage Truck!

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2025-04-19*

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

### 3/5 — Buggy update

*2023-03-19*

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.)

### 1/5 — This application is terrible!

*2015-08-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Fun at the Landfill!

*2015-05-08*

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!

### 5/5 — Perfect for my preschool son

*2014-12-16*

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

### 5/5 — Garbage Truck

*2014-08-22, version 1.7*

Our grandson is a garbage truck junkie.  He loves the Good Glue apps

### 1/5 — Want a refund

*2014-06-12, version 1.7*

No interaction, waste of money

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-01-16*

This is a very good bin man game one of the best i have ever played, but its worth the £0.69 i personally think.

### 5/5 — Garbage truck

*2014-01-10*

Best .99$ I have ever spent. My grandson loves it. Great graphics, many different trucks go by great sounds & plenty of activity.

### 4/5 — Good for 2-3 year olds

*2013-12-12*

Fun, interactive and easy to play. Strangely no audio on iPad version but works normally on iPod Touch.
