### 5/5 — Useful tool

*2022-12-27, version 2022.9.25*

I like having one place to look to see what will be picked up each week and have a resource for items that I don’t know how to dispose of.

### 5/5 — Curbside

*2022-12-23, version 2022.9.25*

Useful tool.  Works well.  Good app.

### 5/5 — Curbside pick up

*2022-12-01, version 2022.9.25*

I find it very helpful to remind me what goes out on what day.  Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — No more missing garage day

*2022-10-05, version 2022.9.25*

It’s very helpful otherwise I’d be missing garbage day and it would pile up

### 5/5 — Reminder Great app

*2022-09-12, version 2022.5.7*

Great app. Thanks Don

### 5/5 — It does what it’s supposed to do.

*2022-08-02, version 2022.5.7*

Unlike many apps this one actually works in the way intended. Simple to navigate and the auto reminders never let you forget to put your stuff out. Provides info on what can and cannot go in your 3 bins along with other useful recycling info.

### 5/5 — Pocket Recycling Expert

*2022-01-30, version 2021.12.17*

The wizard app helps us figure out what goes where, which is super useful since we came from out of town where they were very different recycling rules. The automatic alerts about pick up days are huge!

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to

*2021-12-07, version 2021.5.28*

Kind of a one-trick pony: tells you when to put out which bins for emptying. So, sure, five stars for doing what it’s supposed to.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2021-10-04, version 2021.5.28*

Saved the garbage day oops again!!! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Reminders are very helpful

*2021-09-01, version 2021.5.28*

Just found this app and very much appreciate having it !

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2021-07-15, version 2021.5.28*

I use this app together with the reminders in my phone….

### 5/5 — Who doesn’t need a reminder

*2021-04-19, version 2021.2.25*

Perfect for busy, forgetful or people who generally don’t think about their garbage like me!!

### 5/5 — Thank F&:$ for this app

*2021-02-15, version 2020.6.30*

If it wasn't for this app i would be f@&$ed i only wish it would remind you the morning of instead of the night before

### 5/5 — Garbage Good waste

*2021-01-28, version 2020.6.30*

It’s all great. Garden waste would be great. Hopefully it will happen. So many people complaining. Styrofoam can go in the garbage, so can glass. Or.... take it to recycle and quit complaining. They’re doing there best. Give them time.

### 5/5 — Great reminder

*2020-12-14, version 2020.6.30*

Nice to have the reminder.

### 1/5 — Partial service

*2020-11-29, version 2020.6.30*

So we pay good taxes for the service. What are we supposed to do with styrofoam, plastic wrapping, glass, etc. Pressure should be on councils and governments to force industry, the manufacturers of material you do not handle to mfg. what you do handle.  Like a lot of people I think we should dump this stuff on the front door of the RDN office.

### 3/5 — Don’t Break the Routine

*2022-01-10, version 2021.12.17*

I’m still waiting for a pickup after the usual routine was disrupted by the arrival of winter. Sadly, we cannot cope when the roads turn white.

Information provided by the app has been sporadic and incomplete leading to daily trips back and forth from the garage. The neighbours have simply given up, leaving their bins in the street 24 / 7. This hinders ploughing and leaves the bins available to animals and in one case a vehicle collision.

To make this app really useful in these circumstances a bit more effort needs to be made to gather and report system status.

### 4/5 — Helps keep track of the recycling maze

*2024-02-19, version 2023.4.20*

Useful app to keep track of recycle/compost/ garbage days. Especially useful is the “What Goes Where” feature, to sort out destinations for the plethora of plastics and products that pass through our lives. 
In-app navigation is a bit finicky and unintuitive.

### 4/5 — Garbage Passion

*2023-05-08, version 2023.4.20*

I’m passionate about garbage day.   This app means I never miss a chance to participate in garbage day.

### 4/5 — App

*2022-10-31, version 2022.9.25*

We just moved to the area and there are a lot more recycling do’s and font’s then we’re used to. It’s great to have the app while we learn the ropes

### 4/5 — Helpful but...

*2019-06-29, version 2019.5.30*

Really like the reminder the day before pickup but it would be extra helpful to have a second reminder the morning of since we are asked to not put stuff out the night before pickup.

### 5/5 — Makes it easy!

*2024-05-26, version 2023.4.20*

Glad I got the app! Takes the mystery out of garbage days and what goes where!

### 5/5 — Great service

*2024-05-02, version 2023.4.20*

Appreciate the information!

### 5/5 — Pop-up Recycling

*2024-03-23, version 2023.4.20*

In addition to the recycling/garbage info - it’s so helpful to see the dates and times of the pop-up recycling for Parksville.

### 5/5 — Garbage or recycle

*2024-02-27, version 2023.4.20*

Used to forget or wonder what I was supposed to be putting out and not always getting it right . The app helps  to always know what is required

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-02-23, version 2023.4.20*

The only thing is they show my garbage/recycle day then they show it being the next day to very confusing 
Other hen that it’s great

### 5/5 — Where have you been all my life

*2024-02-16, version 2023.4.20*

Seriously, this app makes me a better person, getting our carts to the curb as scheduled. The reminder is much appreciated, as is the ease of use and navigation. Thank you for this app!

### 5/5 — No more guessing

*2024-01-23, version 2023.4.20*

With life so hectic these days with so many things to remember. Makes this task easier. I wish everything had a reminder app

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2023-12-29, version 2023.4.20*

Being a Shaw customer meant I didn't always get curbside notifications in a timely manner. This app makes sure I do get the info in time for it to be useful.

### 5/5 — Always in the loop !

*2023-11-21, version 2023.4.20*

I like the reminders the day before garbage day , helps me never miss a curb-side pick up !

### 5/5 — It’s so convenient

*2023-01-04, version 2022.9.25*

Lots of content. Nice reminders. Love it!
