### 5/5 — Rick

*2024-03-19, version 4.0.5*

I installed this app shortly after moving to Kingwood in June 2024 and the recycling which is supposed to be picked up every other Tuesday never happened. It was picked up on Wednesdays. This often resulted in the recycling bins being left out for two days. After contacting the developer a couple of weeks ago requesting information he took it upon himself to contact the city of Houston and today the recycling truck came around a couple of hours after trash pickup. Fortunately I was home and heard it down the street and was able to get my bin to the street. Unfortunately, many neighbors were not home so I expect their recycling bins will be out tomorrow, for no telling how long! Let’s hope this glitch has been resolved and everyone will be on the same schedule soon!

### 5/5 — So happy this was recommended to me

*2024-01-09, version 4.0.5*

We had been going online to the HTX trash pickup website and it was just a hassle. Then we learned about the HTX trash app but it was often wrong or not updated. FINALLY someone on Nextdoor mentioned this app in a comment section and it’s cut a lot of wasted time worrying about trash/recycling/ bulk days and wasted time moving the different cans up and down the back area and driveway. Not to mention having to move vehicles or ask neighbors to move vehicles, if parked too close or right where the cans go. Waaaayy too long of a review just to say I’m happy this app exists and the schedules are updated well. Thanks developer!

### 5/5 — Simple yet effective!

*2022-05-21, version 4.0.5*

It does what it’s supposed to - reminds me of the proper local trash schedule & details! Works like a charm - Perfect!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t reflect holiday schedule

*2021-05-31, version 4.0.5*

Why doesn’t this app reflect the holiday schedule? Today is Memorial Day 2021 but yet the app says my trash will be picked up. But it won’t. Until tomorrow. Such a simple app should know Houston’s holiday schedule.

### 3/5 — Holidays

*2021-05-29, version 4.0.5*

Why does this app not account for holidays?  That is extremely annoying.

### 2/5 — Wrong schedule!

*2021-01-04, version 4.0.5*

We moved zip codes in Houston from 77018 to 77026 and our trash/recycling schedule is opposite of what it should be!  I called the city and they told me not use an app not ran by the city.

### 3/5 — Bugs need fixing!

*2020-11-18, version 4.0.5*

This is a five star app when it works. Currently can only see the recycling days and nothing else, even after the latest update. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Very convenient and responsive!

*2020-11-05, version 4.0.5*

This is a great little app. If you have an issue (like it didn’t load the address once for me), just contact them and it is quickly addressed! Wonderful and responsive service! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-11-03, version 4.0.5*

This is probably one of the most useful apps I have
Love it
love the friendly reminders

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-11-02, version 4.0.5*

I can’t remember garbage, recycling, heavy trash, tree waste pick up dates. This app is very helpful to search any property and remind you to take out the trash in the City of Houston. Tell your friends to download the app. -act
