I’m all about ease!

### 5/5 — Excellent all round

*2021-07-02*

Good to know what to put out each week, good to set the reminder, good for looking items up - blue or grey bin.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful

*2021-05-05*

Quite a handy app to use. Not just as a reminder for the kind of garbage per week, but to classify items on each type of garbage.

### 5/5 — What’s not to like?

*2021-04-19*

Very useful app!

### 5/5 — A great resource

*2020-12-15, version 2020.12.5*

As a new resident this helps to keep everything straight as to what goes into what bin.  It also reminds me to get the garbage out so I’m not rushing like a madman in the morning

### 5/5 — Great reminder

### 1/5 — Hangs and Won’t Work

*2019-05-01, version 2019.3.28*

I’ve a newer iPhone with lots of starage and when I went to search my address, the app just hangs and does not work. Disappointing. Guess I will stick to text reminders.

### 2/5 — App works fine, but forced me to respond to a review prompt

*2022-02-28*

Today the app showed a dialog forcing me to say if I was enjoying the app, instead of the normal one that iOS uses. It’s a poor way to treat users.

### 4/5 — Guelph is a great city to live in

*2024-05-21*

Very great app and the city is doing an awesome job keep up the great work

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2024-02-04*

Excellent App for those of us who forget how holidays effect the pick up schedule. Never miss a day!

### 4/5 — Useful but …

*2023-01-23*

I find this useful but the reminder arrives late in the evening. I think it should be delivered around dinner time. I think this would be much more helpful

### 4/5 — Preferred the text reminder

*2022-11-21*

Helpful but not as much as the system with the text reminder.

### 4/5 — useful…but

*2022-07-28*

I preferred the now abandoned text warning system

### 4/5 — Love the app, could use a better search

*2019-11-06, version 2019.5.24*

I was just looking for the numbers I could throw into my recycling, but it was hard to search entire areas rather than individual pieces. 

Other than that, it’s pretty perfect.

### 4/5 — Add

*2019-05-14, version 2019.3.28*

Offline version would be helpful

### 4/5 — City of Guelph Garbage Pick-up App

*2019-05-13, version 2019.3.28*

Quite a useful app - easy to use and saves last minute shuffling when you realize your neighbours are all dumber than you!
Great idea for the City to have simple tech making life better for us all!

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2025-07-01*

Easy to use and to the point.

### 5/5 — Helpful reminder

*2025-06-16*

It is a very helpful reminder especially for the yard waste

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2025-05-15*

I never remember which week is trash & which is recycling or when the organic yard waste gets picked up so this app is really handy and just takes a few seconds to check. Super helpful.

### 5/5 — Guelph Waste pickup schedule and reminders

*2025-01-14*

Very easy to use and understand. Great idea.

### 5/5 — Great Service

*2024-12-27*

We moved to Guelph recently and appreciate the text reminder to take out our bins. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Dark icon will be much appreciated

*2024-10-17*

Dark icon will be much appreciated

### 5/5 — Simple and fantastic

*2024-05-14*

Crazy that I felt the need to review my cities garbage schedule app, but honestly they did a great job. It’s basic, because there’s not much information that needs to be conveyed here. They aren’t making it overcomplicated with menus and features that we don’t need. 
It’s always updated when there’s delays or holidays, and I get a notification what bin to put out the night before.
The waste wizard app always solves an argument about what counts as recycling or garbage, and I’m always surprised how complete the list is!

Finally, it’s easy to report when my garbage wasn’t picked up and there’s literally never any performance issues to speak of.

Seriously, you guys had a simple job but this sort of thing is often bungled and I’m so glad this wasn’t one of those situations. I’m always bothering my friends by going on about how much I admire this app lol.

### 5/5 — Well explained!

*2022-10-13*

Excellent app! I just moved to Guelph and want to be complied with the waste/trash policy, and downloading the app I could find simply everything. All clear instructions, a vast number of items listed to proper treat them, and easy to navigate. Great work done!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2022-06-09*

It’s very helpful!! Most off the time I forgot to put my garbage out. now it send me reminder so I know what to put there before I have to see out the street what to put.
