### 5/5 — Forgetful person

*2026-04-09*

This app works really well for me and my husband. No need for reminders, bells and whistles… just which bins do I put out tonight.

### 4/5 — Small changes

*2026-01-24*

Some areas it’s not giving bin type options it assumes red and yellow every week when my yellow is fortnight and no option for green bin. When another local it asks for how many and what types and how often they are collected. (I can send screenshots on request)

As i operate a bin placement service in multiple locations and LGAs this could be handy

### 5/5 — WBD

*2026-01-05*

Very useful and easy to use. 
Great job and idea to the person who thought if this.

### 5/5 — Bow ties

*2025-12-24*

I will never forget to put the bins out again! :)
A really good app!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-05-19*

Simple and does what it claims to do. Really useful and looks good too.

### 4/5 — Neat little App

*2023-11-28*

I’m really glad someone other than myself thought of creating an App like this! My location wasn’t automatically covered by the Apps data, but it was really simple to manually set up a schedule for my weekly and fortnightly collection of Recycle, Rubbish and Green waste/Fogo bins. Obviously a comprehensive and broad database of council schedules is needed to cover more locations but it’s a great effort so far 😊

### 1/5 — Use to be good

*2023-08-15*

Was a great app, now hopeless, can’t get notifications unless you pay for premium, why?? Can’t do anything else with the app.
Changed phone, went to load the app again and keeps telling me that this location is not supported! Yet it’s on my wife’s phone and working in the exact same location.

### 5/5 — Awesome reminder

*2023-07-21*

Love the reminders Our bin day has changed & it’s not possible to edit the day

### 5/5 — Perfect for when your new to the area

*2023-03-18*

We moved in and had no idea. Found this app has been a godsend for sure

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-03-12*

I clicked my address, it then tells me to select how many bins I have which I did (3) and then I cannot change the dates for collection as the app is misaligned with my iPhone - I can see I’m meant to scroll at the bottom but there is physically no way to do it or type the dates.
