Makes it so easy to be prepared. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Recycler *2024-03-17, version 2023.4.21* Excellent service, thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing App !!! *2024-02-07, version 2023.4.21* Very nice, useful and informative App !!! ### 5/5 — Extra *2024-02-06, version 2023.4.21* Excellent no problems - but would help for notifications if special pick up in following week. ### 5/5 — App review *2024-01-27, version 2023.4.21* Very useful and informative. ### 5/5 — The Simcoe app *2024-01-22, version 2023.4.21* Notifications on the app work right to let you know what’s coming up each week. And any changes to the schedule. Much simpler than others to get your schedule quickly and easily. Other useful information is included as well for occasional use ### 5/5 — Great app ! *2024-01-14, version 2023.4.21* So useful, no guessing. ### 5/5 — Grateful to have the app *2024-01-07, version 2023.4.21* Very helpful to know what is being picked up ahead of time as well as the days that it is postponed such as Christmas/New Year’s. Grateful to have the app. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Works *2023-12-02, version 2023.4.21* The app works, that simple. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-12-19, version 2023.4.21* This is useless as an app. There is no real information I can collect from it so the web browser is still the go to to try and find info. Super annoying that it pushes the app that does nothing. I can’t even load the schedule for the whole year. Just use the pdf on the web browser for the actual calendar. Stop pushing this app until it improves. Nobody wants a whole tab to play a game. I want a map showing the zones. Not a loop to try and figure out my zone. That would be more handy than a stupid game option lol ### 2/5 — Had potential *2026-05-19, version 2026.2.24* This app sucks. Can’t even search my address to look at my schedule for a home that was built in 1955 smh. Address not found. Fix your bloody app. You got enough taxpayer funded dollars over there to make tweaks this is unacceptable ### 2/5 — not picked up blue bags *2025-02-15, version 2023.4.21* On Thursday Feb 13th my blue bags were left uncollected. ### 3/5 — Blue bin collection dates no longer show on calendar and… *2026-05-13, version 2026.2.24* This app has usually been 5/5 great. This year when I put out yard was because it scheduled to be picked up it wasn’t picked up and there are currently no weeks scheduled for blue bin pickup on the App calendar ### 3/5 — Could be better *2022-12-26, version 2022.9.25* This app is okay. It works does the job. Now what county of Simcoe needs to do is put trackers on the garbage and recycling trucks so everyone knows where the trucks are and est. time of pick is. ### 4/5 — Garbage collection *2025-02-13, version 2023.4.21* I find this useful because sometimes I’m not sure if it’s recycling or garbage that needs to be put out and this tells me ### 4/5 — Recycling *2024-07-22, version 2023.4.21* Might recommend more clothing or small appliance pickups for recycling items that can be donated for good causes such as Diabetes. Also allow more regular recycling of garden refuse to allow for people to want to be involved in keeping home in order trimming, gardening etc. ### 4/5 — Memory boost *2024-04-21, version 2023.4.21* Love the app reminder as I have made mistakes before even in verifying the calendar. ### 4/5 — Convenience at a touch *2024-03-09, version 2023.4.21* I find myself checking this every week as my memory retains way too much junk and leaves no room for the essential info such as which pickup up it is for the week! Greatly appreciate this app. ### 4/5 — In point App *2024-01-10, version 2023.4.21* My neighbour introduced me to this app and I love it. It’s always up-to-date I am telling everybody about it. Still seeing people put their garbage out on the wrong day because they were going by the calendar perhaps. Now I am hearing from more people how great they think it is too! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2025-10-06, version 2025.9.26* The app isn’t working anymore and there’s no way to update it. Please fix!!! ### 5/5 — Great APP *2025-05-20, version 2025.5.16* Just moved here and find the app very helpful ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-02-13, version 2023.4.21* Very useful app, especially around Christmas and annual battery collection time. But I usually check with neighbours for the garbage/recycle days. I match up what they pull out. Otherwise, I like the app. ### 5/5 — Collection App *2025-01-29, version 2023.4.21* Great app. Makes putting out the right bins a no brainer, we don’t make much, so the bins are not always full, also good to double check what goes where 👍 ### 5/5 — Easy access to info *2024-12-25, version 2023.4.21* It’s nice to have, at your fingertips, info like holiday schedules, and unique pick ups like yard waste etc. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-12-24, version 2023.4.21* Just moved to Wasaga Beach and this app has be so helpful in getting to know the garbage collection system. User-friendly and well thought-out. I love it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-15, version 2023.4.21* I love the weekly reminders and the apps super easy to use. ### 5/5 — Recycling *2024-11-09, version 2023.4.21* So far so good all the tied up cardboard was picked up very pleased very good app indeed ### 5/5 — Useful *2024-11-05, version 2023.4.21* I appreciate the weekly reminders.
