This app is trash I literally typed in my address and it said it didn’t work then the app proceeded to not work like I’m just trying to see when my trash can get picked up

### 2/5 — So-So

In general it’s OK. But it does not say when the once a month yard waste pick up will occur.  This seems to be the most important aspect left out.
