### 5/5 — Happy Homeowner

*2026-07-05, version 2025.09.04*

The “trash” services in Greensboro are primo. In addition to being reliable and predictable, the staff I’ve dealt with have uniformity been pleasant and helpful. Thank you all

### 5/5 — Great tool for Greensboro residents

*2026-05-10, version 2025.09.04*

### 5/5 — The Mayor’s Office

Complaint resolved.

### 5/5 — Helpful info

*2026-05-05, version 2025.09.04*

Thanks for making this app available.  The advice about when and where different kinds of trash will be collected is extremely helpful, as is the reminder notification the day before trash pick up.  I even enjoy the little quiz.  Well done!!
😃👍

### 5/5 — Steve Carney

*2026-04-06, version 2025.09.04*

GSO Collects has been very helpful for me. 
Not only reminding me which day each container is picked up but also Holiday reminders. 
Your Large item pickup is wonderful!  All I do is send a message about my item along with a photo and I get an immediate response yes or no.  So far it’s been yes!
Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

### 5/5 — Home Owner

*2026-03-30, version 2025.09.04*

Love the GSO App.  It is very, very informative. I 
check it each week for  pick up infomation or changes to normal pickup dates regarding holidays etc.
The info on the proper use and placement of garbage in the refuse containers was very beneficial.  I got 90% correct over all on the refuse quiz.

### 5/5 — GSO Collects

*2026-03-25, version 2025.09.04*

Great program and always accurate!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-12-29, version 2025.05.14*

This app makes it really easy for me to check and see which things are being picked up (trash and recycling, or just trash, etc) and on what days. It also makes it really easy to get in contact with them if I have any questions. And they’ve made it really fun to learn about our collection system with bit sized info and mini quizzes.

### 2/5 — No Notifications, no support

*2025-12-19, version 2025.05.14*

Fine app but notifications stopped working. Followed instructions, contacted support - no response. Kind of pointless if I can’t get reminders.

### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work

*2025-12-12, version 2025.05.14*

The most basic function of this app does not work. Instead of games, how about focusing on making the notifications work?
