If every app was this good there'd be peace on earth forever!
Can't live without it now!
Especially setting the reminder.
  Same feeling as the first time I set my favourite song in place of my alarm .
Thanks City of Nanaimo!🤍👍

### 3/5 — As times frustrated

*2025-02-10, version 2023.4.19*

As a family of 5 using the garbage bin three + weeks is far to long to wait for another pickup.  Otherwise, pickup schedules are great

This app tells me what items go where and when the pickup dates are. It also tells me what bins get picked up on certain dates. Notifications are sent to me about the recycling times. This is very useful

### 3/5 — Pick up app

*2023-04-11, version 2022.9.25*

We don’t get a reminder every week, this time I did, husband didn’t seems pot luck as to receiving the reminder.
