Five star help. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-01-24, version 2021.12.16* It reminds me night before so always prepared. Like the what goes where section as well. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-31, version 2021.12.16* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2021-11-16, version 2021.5.29* Love and need this reminder! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-09-15, version 2021.5.29* This app has been very useful to me. I always used to forget the pickup days and now I don’t. Excellent search engine for “what goes where” was a brilliant idea as it has helped me to recycle more than I used to. Always a good thing! ### 5/5 — Yay garbage notification!! *2021-06-24, version 2021.5.29* I love this--now I don't have to look like a dummy beachside I forgot to put out the cans! ### 5/5 — Great Help. *2021-03-17, version 2021.3.6* Having a reminder help a lot especially that i easily forget. This is a very useful. ### 5/5 — Sally *2020-09-18, version 2020.8.19* Reminders are great. Even better is the heads up that our bins will be collected later in the day or next day if they are still sitting there at 6:00. ### 5/5 — Takes the guesswork out which bin *2020-09-08, version 2020.8.19* I no longer need to wait for my neighbours to put out their bins to know what should go out. Great job! ### 5/5 — Good App *2020-08-09, version 2020.5.29* Takes the guesswork out of recycling 🙂 ### 5/5 — Perfect for this senior *2020-08-08, version 2020.5.29* I could never remember what day and what colour of bins i needed to put out. My phone app reminds me. Thank you ### 5/5 — Awesome resource *2020-03-26, version 2020.3.18* Love that I can be so environmentally conscious with help from this app. Search your refuse away to the right place. Good job. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Pls add feature where you can add multiple addresses *2021-10-18, version 2021.5.29* Super helpful for anyone caring for others because you can remind them. 😊 I preferred the text one because I could sign up my tenants in multi family housing for it too. No garbage pickup there is very bad! ### 3/5 — Material Lists Needed *2021-01-03, version 2020.8.19* Having to search up each type of material is a pain, add a ‘bin material’ list (unless I just can’t find it on the app). Best feature is notifications! just like everyone else says, don't have to wait for the dialled in neighbours anymore lol! ### 4/5 — Very useful and helpful *2023-10-09, version 2023.4.19* 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 ### 4/5 — Great App *2022-02-10, version 2021.12.16* Reminders are really helpful and the notices of changes and reasons for the changes are too. It was especially useful during the heavy snowfall. The only problem is that sometimes we don’t receive a reminder- thought you should know. Otherwise we would have rated it as a 5! ### 4/5 — Snow issues *2022-01-24, version 2021.12.16* Felt that you were quiet informative on the pick up schedule during the bad snow time, especially since I was gone from the province and didn’t get back until the 28th of December. It was explained on Nanaimo city web sites what the changes were to be during this time , as it should be because customers, if they had taken a moment to look and listen to the real information from the city would not have left their have garbage and green bins out for over a week….. good thing that wasn’t Summertime. Good job city during this time. Missscrewup ### 4/5 — Nanaimo *2020-03-10, version 2019.11.21* AMAZING SERVICE... The weekly reminder is absolutely crucial for our senior household... Thank you NANAIMO ### 4/5 — Great for drivers! *2019-08-30, version 2019.8.12* Like the new bins especially that yard waste is now accepted! Happy that the drivers no longer have to risk injury by picking up the bins! Just wish all high density buildings and strata complexes recycled. ### 4/5 — Yes truly enjoy! *2019-07-27, version 2019.5.24* Quite like this reminder! If only I could get my tenants to use it and recycle and use food bins (my favorite) oh well they definitely know how to use garbage bin 😔 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best! *2025-03-27, version 2023.4.19* 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!🤍👍 ### 5/5 — Very convenient *2025-01-31, version 2023.4.19* I love this app, it’s convenient and just all around nice to have. I love the reminders for garbage or recycle pick up every week and it’s just awesome!!!! ### 5/5 — Stellar Improvement *2025-01-24, version 2023.4.19* This app is massively better than the old fridge calendar. ### 5/5 — Exactly what is needed to keep us informed about waste matters! *2025-01-03, version 2023.4.19* Guidance on how to take care of all our waste is here. So user friendly and always at hand. Much appreciated. ### 5/5 — Recycle app *2024-11-27, version 2023.4.19* The app is helpful and makes life easier. I can check the app from anywhere. It is clear and easy to follow. ### 5/5 — Like it *2024-01-14, version 2023.4.19* Very helpful information ### 5/5 — Good reminder *2023-03-09, version 2022.9.25* It’s a great application that keeps you on the right track with recycle and trash program timetable.

Stephen ### 5/5 — Highly recommend and appreciate!!! *2023-02-06, version 2022.9.25* Definitely recommend, thanks for the awesome app!! ### 5/5 — Find out what can actually be recycled! *2022-11-03, version 2022.9.25* Finally one place to understand what can be recycled in the curbside collection and what can be taken to the return-it/recycling center! This app is a great resource center in addition to the collection schedule. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
