### 1/5 — Stopped Notifying Me

*2025-11-19, version 2025.9.29*

The only purpose of this app is to send a notification the day before pickup. It doesn’t even do that. 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Stinks

*2025-10-23, version 2025.9.29*

Doesn’t work. Keeps notifying me on the wrong day. Screwed up. Typical of Columbus

### 5/5 — Outstanding

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says

*2025-01-17, version 2023.7.18*

It lets me know which days to put out the trash or recycling at my address. Since I moved here near the holidays, that information was vital and not a given. Love the push notifications to remind me the day before!
