I hen I can’t remember if there is waste allowed or not, it’s a click away! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Just awesome *2024-03-03, version 2023.4.20* I’m a huge stoner at night and this app saved my forgetful mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ty Niagara region 🍃💨 ### 5/5 — Most useful app *2024-02-13, version 2023.4.20* Most useful app since new updated information is clearly mentioned here and that at a touch of the app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-02-03, version 2023.4.20* So easy to use and a real problem solver. Always able to find the product I was looking for. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-01-29, version 2023.4.20* As both a reminder as to when garbage day is and what to put out. I especially like the search feature for when I’m not sure where something goes . ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-01-16, version 2023.4.20* Very useful reminder especially for me that has a memory problem. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-01-15, version 2023.4.20* Just a good one that should be a national. ### 5/5 — Helpful info and love the sorting wizard! *2023-12-21* Love this app to know which weeks are trash. Also, the trash wizard is amazing when I’m checking to see if something I’m unsure of can be recycled or composted. Thanks for this!!! ### 5/5 — Sweet *2023-11-30, version 2023.4.20* What can I say? It’s an incredibly useful app I never miss a garbage day. Especially now since it only comes biweekly so I know exactly what’s going out. ### 5/5 — food for thought *2023-10-21, version 2023.4.20* every one eats every one discards every one organizes niagara is one that connects these best ### 5/5 — Garbage pickup *2023-09-17, version 2023.4.20* This app saves me lots of time … just go direct to the app and info is there .. ### 5/5 — Takes the doubt out. *2023-08-21, version 2023.4.20* Sometimes I have to think, is it full garbage this week? Then I can look at the app or I get my notification. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lazy worker Thorold Area *2026-01-20, version 2023.4.20* Tues January 20. I just want to call out the workers who picked up the garbage today in Thorold Area. YOU ARE RATHER LAZY! You threw the bins without common sense, you know the wind is blowing hard, you could have at least put them on the side of the driveway or yard, pushed them a little on the snow so the wind doesn't blow them away. All my neighbour's bins are on the road. 2nd complain, are you hating your job? Did you intentionally placed bins in the middle of the driveway entrance to piss off people? You are blocking cars going in and out of their driveway. ### 1/5 — Update *2025-07-15, version 2023.4.20* So this app says there’s an update, so how do I get it? Considering the last update listed is 2 years ago - does an update even exist? ### 1/5 — Green bin *2025-03-01, version 2023.4.20* This Thursday my green bin was not picked up or emptied? Not even touched! The way garbage & Green bin are handled lately tells me you have a very poor Company that handles the collection! The problem is not the APP only the company that collects the Green bin & Garbage! Why do they need to tip the bins upside down so that what stuck items end up as unsightly mess on the ground?? ### 2/5 — Pretty much useless *2024-05-21, version 2023.4.20* Moved into new development 4 years ago and still no address available. We do have region supplied weekly waste pickup. Often the first stops for recycling. Another app provides correct info. Also tried to drop off batteries and information was incorrect. ### 3/5 — Really good except one thing *2022-04-20, version 2021.12.16* Love this app for both reminding me and showing what is being collected. Wizard could be improved though. Many things I look for aren’t listed or are too generalized and don’t fit my query. ### 4/5 — Good App *2025-08-13, version 2023.4.20* This is an excellent app and useful. One issue, I often have difficulty connecting app to server so in that regard it is not so useful. ### 4/5 — Most helpful *2025-01-25, version 2023.4.20* Very easy to use and very helpful! ### 4/5 — Future Suggestions *2023-09-16, version 2023.4.20* I would like the Niagara Region Waste App to have a waste identifier so that people can scan their waste items without ever being confused about which items go into either the recycle, garage, or organic bin for items such as (creamer cartons, cardboard, pet waste, books and more.) Quinton HL ### 4/5 — Dependable *2023-05-01, version 2023.4.20* I use Niagara Waste’s notification alerts to get a heads up 24 hours before garbage pickup time and/or change of pickup day. I take garbage out for two multi unit apartments these reminders are helpful. ### 4/5 — Please save paper *2022-02-25, version 2021.12.16* This app is a great replacement for the paper version sent to all community members. Far more convenient! It doesn’t get lost or have food stains lol. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reminders *2026-06-04, version 2026.2.27* I appreciate getting the reminder the day before of what type of pick up is going to be. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-29, version 2023.4.20* Use it to check what is recyclable and not. Confirm HHW and locations to drop off. Super helpful! ### 5/5 — We love this app! *2025-05-14, version 2023.4.20* I love that this app sends me notifications each week to let me know what can be put out. Garbage pick up in Niagara is biweekly so it’s great to keep track! I can also use the app if I need to schedule a large item pick up! I’m very pleased with how easy it is to use! ### 5/5 — Most reliable App *2025-02-17, version 2023.4.20* I’ve never had a problem, I can always rely on this app. Thanks ### 5/5 — Handy *2025-01-22, version 2023.4.20* I wish all apps were this useful ### 5/5 — Wealth of info! *2025-01-03, version 2023.4.20* Best app to find info of what goes in where and what doesn’t. App is ALWAYS up to date including weather warnings in order to minimize flying debris. Date changes/ reminders/ FAQ’s etc are at your fingertips. This app works because of the conscientious people who work behind the scenes to keep us informed! Kudos!! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-12-27, version 2023.4.20* Much better than the other ones ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-12-24, version 2023.4.20* A very useful tool to remind and check whats to go out and when. ### 5/5 — Rose *2024-05-28, version 2023.4.20* So helpful that they send you a reminder the night before. Especially helpful when it’s actually waste days or just blue/grey box days only. Thanks Niagara Region . One of the most useful apps. ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful! *2024-04-30, version 2023.4.20* Extremely helpful in helping make sure I don’t miss the household garbage days. Which would mean I have to keep it around for an additional 2 weeks. The app works so well. The push notifications are particularly helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
