### 2/5 — Not supported

*2026-03-31, version 2023.4.22*

First thing when opening this app, it displays "THIS VERSION IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED." And it tells me to update, even though I just downloaded it.

Waste Management, you have the power to delete this app from the App Store if you're not wanting to support it.

Also, the page on recycling plastic containers shows them with lids on. Fantastic if we can now recycle those lids! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very convenient reference!

*2025-03-15, version 2023.4.22*

Often just what I needed to answer my questions.

### 4/5 — Recycling

*2023-07-03, version 2023.4.22*

Very vague on details 
Ease of use very good

### 1/5 — No detail

*2023-01-01, version 2022.9.26*

There is no detail in the information and is extremely general and vague. Example: a plastic container could have a 2, 4, or 5 on it. Some of these can be recycled by a facility and some cannot. There are no results for these options. All you get is put plastic container in the recycle. There is also no additional instructions like “all items should be clean”

### 5/5 — So glad to have this

*2022-05-31, version 2022.5.4*

Previous to this app I tried to keep one of the papers listing where to put miscellaneous items but I’m horrible at managing paperwork. Now I just go to my app and have the answers!
Love it!

### 4/5 — Shred it

*2022-01-07, version 2021.12.17*

Conflicting information about shredded paper. App says it goes in compost but other info from WM No says to put it in the garbagez

### 1/5 — Extremely limited. Only useful if you live in one of 3 areas.

*2021-10-09, version 2021.5.30*

This app only provides useful info if you live in one of three regions in the app. It won’t tell you what to recycle unless you select one of those three counties. My area, Pinellas County, is not supported.

### 4/5 — Please add sample photos

*2020-08-03, version 2020.3.19*

Please add sample photos. Also specify if all recycling numbers 1-7 are recyclable.

### 1/5 — Only available for 3 random counties

*2020-06-26, version 2020.3.19*

There should be a disclaimer before people waste (no pun intended) their time downloading an app that only works for 3 random counties

### 2/5 — WM App

*2018-11-30, version 2018.09.05*

I heard a couple people from WM speak. It seems like there is incorrect information in this app about which cart things go into. Also how about information updates for example when something can no longer be recycled. Also how about just more information about recycling- need to wash things, lids, what will screw up your machines, where the final product goes. 
Also how about offering information about where to take things that can’t be recycled instead of putting them in the garbage. I know that’s not your job but since people are looking here for recycle info - go the extra mile!
