Perfect! ### 5/5 — Simple and useful. *2024-10-03* Simple to use, gets the job done. Exactly what an app needs to be. ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-09-02* Very useful ### 5/5 — Reminders so helpful *2024-08-26* It’s great to know in advance what goes on the curb so that I can prepare the night before. Thanks a lot. ### 5/5 — Don’t make it better! *2024-08-22* This app is perfect just as it is. Simple. Straight forward. Easy to use. Provides all the functionality needed without hustle or unnecessary bells and whistles. I use it at least once a week, or to look what goes where. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-07-13, version 2023.4.12* This app is much more helpful than I thought it would be. It gives me weekly reminders of what to put out. It reminds you of holiday collections. It also tells you what goes in recycles and more. Highly recommend.

If you don’t know what garbage goes where, you look it up and it tells you. ### 5/5 — Great reminders *2024-04-18, version 2023.4.12* Being new to the area the app is great when trying to figure out what goes where and when. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-04-08, version 2023.4.12* Use the app. Very useful. ### 5/5 — Halifax Recycles *2024-03-31, version 2023.4.12* Use the app regularly. Specific recyclable question section should be expanded to optimize recycling and also give info on compostable codes. There are so many compostable codes that the average user doesn’t understand ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App appears to not be working properly *2025-07-04* The app is not displaying the schedule/calendar.

Completely useless. If a developer sees this, please fix the app. ### 1/5 — App crash *2024-06-26, version 2023.4.12* The app keeps crashing when I try to click any links in it. ### 1/5 — Glitchy glitchy glitchy *2023-05-11, version 2023.4.12* Downloaded twice and nothing comes up on open ### 2/5 — Buggy and crashes a lot *2023-11-23, version 2023.4.12* This app has a lot of useful information, but half the time when I open the app it will not load or it freezes. ### 3/5 — Excellent apart from crashing *2024-05-31, version 2023.4.12* Easy to use, attractive design and has lots of useful info. Unfortunately - for a while now - hitting ‘special’ event dropdowns for more info immediately crashes the app (eg curbside giveaway). Running latest iOS and iPadOS - crashing on both devices. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needed *2025-05-12* Helpful when you don’t know where it goes and keeps you from missing a week when life gets busy ### 5/5 — Working Great *2025-05-05* Could not ask for anything more thanks to the team good work ### 5/5 — Rating *2025-04-30* I really depend on this app and it doesn’t disappoint. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2025-03-03* Notifications from app are useful in taking timely steps. ### 5/5 — Don’t change a thing! *2025-01-27* Works great.
