### 4/5 — Great service helping me to do my bit

*2026-08-07*

It has been my second pick up of soft clothes that my friend and I are in the process of sorting through from close spot parties and from our own wardrobes. And on this occasion, I added my dead pillows to the pick up which was fantastic because there is nothing worse than just throwing the stuff into the bin and thinking now it’s going to just cause problems. This is a really great service and the app is really easy to use. And the third pick up will be even easier because now I have figured out what to do and how to do it to make it easier for everyone.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2026-06-02, version 9.5.7*

Could you provide some contact details for asking about those items that your app doesn’t cover?

### 4/5 — Great app with little tweak

*2026-05-29*

The app has been easy to use and I haven’t had any issues until today when I accidentally added the wrong photo and discovered that there is no delete photo function. Would be helpful to add this option as a just in case measure.

### 4/5 — Easy way to recycle

*2026-01-08, version 9.2.1*

Second pick up and  all easy and efficient. Give it a go

### 5/5 — Great Service

*2025-09-19*

I don’t understand what people are talking about when they say you can’t change the pickup date in the app, I do it all the time! And complaining because they don’t pick up stuff because they can’t recycle is ludicrous. Reality is those who produce the goods in plastic should actually pay for it to be re-cycled, they would certainly lift their game if they were forced to. This is a great service, don’t listen to the whiners, if you can afford it do it!

### 5/5 — Amazing user experience and design

*2025-09-11, version 8.3.1*

Love this app, makes everything so easy thank you RecycleSmart

### 5/5 — Absolutely FANTASTIC!

*2025-08-26*

OMG!! What a fantastic initiative…the whole process has been so easy…we have reduced our consumption of plastics so it has taken the best part of 6 months to collect a bag full in a polystyrene box. The correspondence regarding collection was outstanding!! Honestly…putting my bags out for collection felt so good!! A proper dopamine hit!! Thank you!!!!

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2025-08-18*

RecycleSmart are by far the best and cheapest service to use to divert your waste from landfill. Using a regular rubbish disposal company will cost you an arm and a leg, use RecyleSmart instead- they recycle everything, charge next to nothing and are super friendly. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Works like clockwork

*2025-08-14*

Easy - just put everything we can’t recycle into the 2 bags over the month and receive the reminder text the week before - great discipline to declutter if we’ve still space in the bags, and leave them out on the day for collection.  Could not be easier.  So good knowing we aren’t adding to  landfill

### 4/5 — The service is generally great, just very picky.

*2025-08-06*

I really like the service overall. But they can be very picky about what they grab. They will stick to their “bag rules” very stringently too. Even if that bag is also mostly air.

They’ve simplified their plans which is nice in one way, but also annoying when you’ve got one or two random extra items which they will leave behind because it doesn’t fit for the amount paid. It’s a bit confusing, even with their AI implementation. You can’t add on or expand the plan anymore. So you better hope it fits or be prepared to walk back and find some items left out for you to take back.

In the end, I’ve found it’s much easier (and often cheaper) to just pay someone on Airtasker to come by and grab it for you. I don’t get points or the nice feeling it’s been recycled, but I won’t get in trouble for the items that have been left behind and it actually gets cleared in one go.

But when it works, it’s great. It’s seamless and efficient. When it doesn’t, it’s quite aggravating and sometimes costly.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Service

*2025-06-24, version 8.2.1*

RecycleSmart offers a great service, recycling those difficult soft plastics. Communication is great too. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-06-23, version 8.2.1*

Easy to use, love the notification on pick up reminder

### 5/5 — Seamless

*2025-01-10, version 7.25.7*

Always smooth sailing with this app and service!

### 5/5 — Great service

*2025-01-09*

So glad that there is a service like this so that we can reduce the impact of our waste.

Everything runs smoothly and the app is easy to use. Only exception is there seems to be some mis-categorised items - e.g. pot plant pots it says they can take but when they arrived they said they couldn’t.

### 5/5 — App and service are brilliant

*2024-04-17*

While I keep trying to reduce my plastic consumption and waste by not buying anything in plastic, it’s virtually impossible to achieve. I’m so happy to have this service and business that takes things that would go to landfill and know it’s getting recycled. 
The search function gives information about how to deal with difficult to recycle items in your area. I can’t imagine how difficult it was to collate all this information from every council in australia. 
Very grateful

### 1/5 — Takes wrong items, ignores emails

*2025-11-08, version 9.0.3*

DON'T USE. They missed the obvious bags left out with the pick up sign on them and instead took a random bag off the shoe rack on our front porch. We have been waiting for almost 2 months for them to reply to our email requesting the return of our items. There is no phone number to ring and no responsibilitiy for the mistake they made or the property they stole.

### 1/5 — No mobile phone

*2025-09-19, version 8.3.3*

Can’t book a pickup as it insists on a mobile phone number. As less mobile people, we use our landline for all calls.

### 1/5 — Your Removal of council lists from this app

*2025-05-20, version 8.1.2*

This app is useless to me now as you’ve removed the different councils and their lists of what goes in each bin

### 1/5 — Forced updates - so frustrating

*2024-09-14, version 7.24.0*

Forced updates, won’t let you open the app until you update it, no close box
Happened multiple times now

### 1/5 — Wrong pick up day in Calendar

*2024-03-24, version 7.20.2*

I updated the app and it now has the wrong pick up day on my calendar and also the bins are wrong as well. 

Too many errors.

### 1/5 — They force you to sign up AND provide mobile number

*2023-08-03, version 7.13.2*

Disgusting. Avoid like the plague.

### 1/5 — Why do I have to create an account??

*2022-09-21, version 7.6.7*

I have used this app in the past and found it useful but now it wants me to create an account before I can use it. What on earth for? I am deleting the app now!

### 1/5 — What’s with the forced login?

*2022-04-25, version 7.5.0*

My council uses this to show the calendar of which coloured bin goes out. 

Have used the app for a while and it’s been ok, however the latest update forces account creation and a login screen. I just want to check my bin calendar. Why does this need yet another signup?

### 1/5 — Address issues

*2022-04-16, version 7.4.2*

Hi, I’d like to start using this app with my kids….but it just won’t recognise my address….please help…..I’ll upgrade my stars when fixed.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-01-26, version 7.3.2*

Couldn’t get past first step of identifying my council from my address

### 5/5 — Photo AI Not Working

*2026-08-07*

Great app and service I use all the time. Only complaint is that the take a photo to see if you collect feature does not work anymore- just come up as an error- good if you could fix so I don’t mistakenly try and recycle things with you

### 5/5 — Taking a photo

*2026-07-06, version 9.6.0*

I know there’s lots of controversy about AI but it works well in this app to show me what can be recycled that’s not on the list.

### 5/5 — Photo identification not working

*2026-04-15*

I love this app and the service ReSmart offer. I just updated and now the photo id function is not working. It brings up an error. I use this often so I don’t send things that can’t be recycled.

### 5/5 — First collection

*2026-04-14, version 9.4.1*

Very helpful collector who advised that a variety of other items we were planning to send for council pickup can also be ReSmarted. Woo hoo. 2nd collection booked !

### 5/5 — A Great Service

*2026-03-01*

I’ve been a fan of RecycleSmart(now ReSmart) since it started. It’s a fantastic service and takes a lot of unusual items to save from landfill. Coffee capsules, empty toothpaste tubes and cosmetic container items, kitchen ware, small appliances and larger ones (with notice) to name a few. The App is great and provides all the information you need. 
Many local councils fund a 2 bag pick up per month. I would definitely recommend this service.

### 5/5 — Happy Recycling

*2026-01-16, version 9.2.1*

Convenient Conservation

### 5/5 — convenient & easy to use

*2025-12-19, version 9.2.0*

convenient & easy to use

### 5/5 — Perfect business. Perfect app

*2025-11-12, version 9.0.5*

This app does everything I need in terms of living sustainably. I love that I can compete against others. The drivers are the best

### 5/5 — Incredible AI Tool so Smart

*2025-11-04*

The AI tool to identify if an item is collected for recycling is fantastic. I had so many not sure items and just took a picture and it named the item and said yes or no to being collected. Odd items I scanned which I wasn’t sure would come up still had an answer like asthma puffer/inhaler, medical ointment tubes, eye gel tubes.

Means saved another load in landfill.

### 5/5 — Great app - super convenient

*2025-10-31*

This service really helps me to get rid of all the items I don’t need (or don’t know how to dispose) sustainably! I don’t need to go to multiple locations to dispose of different items, they just do it for me
