### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2025-07-04*

The reminders of which cans to put out have been invaluable. Detailed holiday delay info readily available. Perfect!

### 5/5 — I No Longer Stalk My Neighbor’s Cans

*2025-05-29*

Every Wednesday night used to be a spiral of doubt—is it recycling week or am I about to publicly fail in front of my neighbors again? I’d wait to see who wheeled what to the curb like a bin-based Groundhog Day.

But now? The Raleigh Reuse & Waste app hits me with a perfectly timed reminder like, “Hey genius, tomorrow’s trash day.” And suddenly I’m the most confident guy on the block every Thursday.

Waste Wizard? A legend. I type in “weird foam thing” and it tells me what to do. No judgment.

If you live in Raleigh and don’t have this app, you’re winging it. And it shows.

### 5/5 — Waste days

*2025-05-13*

I love the reminder of knowing what day trash/recycling/yard waste will be coming by! With everything else in life this makes it easy

### 5/5 — Glad to have this app

*2025-04-30*

Sometimes I need to get information

### 5/5 — Happy customer

*2025-04-08*

Very useful, always a day ahead, takes the guesswork out of our waste management. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very handy app

*2025-03-10*

I originally downloaded this app to have a schedule of the alternating recycling/yard waste weeks. We had bad weather during one of the pickups and unfortunately my cul-de-sac wasn’t picked up, with everyone else in the neighborhood having their bins picked up. I was able to report this through the app and they came 2 days later to pick up my bins. Im appreciative that I can report these things through the app and not worry that my trash/yard waste/ recycling will be accidentally skipped, and makes me confident that the pick up won’t fall through the cracks

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-01-29*

So glad y’all made this app. Incredible useful and we love the reminder notifications. Also, have you played the minigame yet? Super cute. Way to go Raleigh!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-01-28*

They even have a reminder for which garbage to leave out. I wish I knew about this earlier!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-01-23, version 2024.5.12*

Useful reminder

### 5/5 — Worth the download!

*2024-12-26*

Great app and the reminder settings are very helpful.
