### 5/5 — Keeps us on schedule

*2023-04-21, version 2023.4.19*

After coming back from holidays or one questions if garbage /recycling is being picked up on a stat holiday, this App makes things clear. Other functions would be good too such as snow removal and just as important, when the pea gravel will be cleaned up in the spring. It is inefficient when people power-broom their yards after the street cleaner goes by. Sometimes it just never gets cleaned up.

### 4/5 — Improvements needed

*2021-01-28, version 2020.10.1*

It was great the other year when we knew when snow removal was happening in our area or construction.

### 5/5 — So Helpful!

*2020-09-18, version 2020.5.30*

This app literally saves my marriage weekly. When my husband is trying to tell me it’s recycling week, I can whip out this nifty app and prove, once again, that I am always right.
I also love the ability to easily report pot holes, this is so convenient.
Thanks!

### 3/5 — Suggestions
