### 1/5 — Worse than useless

*2026-01-21, version 2025.9.26*

Simply wrong. Does not agree with Seattle public utilities website.  Said pickup this week: day after thanksgiving would be normal pickup day. So I scrambled to get leaves from my very large trees out in time.  No pickup today. Website says a day late this week. If I did not have the app I would have just looked at the website and had the correct information. 

Here’s a better idea:. Just publish schedule in a google calendar. A separate calendar for each pickup zone. Then people can link the google calendar to their calendar apps on either iPhone or android and see it without going to website or installing yet another app

Update. Rather than respond to this review I received a message to resubmit my review again in a different place before they will even read it.  
What better way is there to say “we dont care about our customers “

### 2/5 — Update the app, start over from scratch

*2025-07-15, version 2025.7.6*

Somehow it lost my address when it updated. Minor problem except it has a buggy address entry. Couldn’t find a schedule until I re-entered without the zip code for some reason.

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2025-06-02, version 2023.4.21*

Downloaded it to learn our schedule, pleasant surprise to get weekly reminders the day before to take out the trash

### 5/5 — Good deal!

*2025-05-05, version 2023.4.21*

This app is great for keeping me in the know about bin collection. I appreciate that Quick Look and know immediately if it’s time to get my bins full and out!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2025-04-18, version 2023.4.21*

I love getting the prompts of what’s going to be picked up. Helps me plan. How many times have I missed the pick up of recycle!? :-) Not happening as much.

### 1/5 — Can’t use app

*2025-02-08, version 2023.4.21*

I can’t use the app because when it opens, a window pops us that asks if I find the app useful. I’m not able to click on either response option (I want to click “no”) so the window never goes away and I can’t get to the actual app content. I hate it 😂

### 5/5 — Great to have

*2025-01-06, version 2023.4.21*

I appreciate have ng the schedule on my phone

### 5/5 — Helpful and easy

*2025-01-05, version 2023.4.21*

Tells me when trash, recycling, and compost service is and allows me to see when alternate pickup days are if my scheduled day is on a holiday.

### 1/5 — Not to be trusted

*2024-11-30, version 2023.4.21*

This app has incorrect service collection dates when compared to the City of Seattle Utility Services website.
