Very bad app. It won't recognize my address to even start using it. When I clicked help and wrote a simple short message about it and included the screenshot of what I was seeing it just said there was an error and to try later. I was only curious if trash still went out today, because yesterday was Thanksgiving and I don't see my neighbors cans out 🤷‍♀️ Very frustrated since it's 2024 and basic apps shouldn't be this difficult.

Inaccurate. I already reached out to their customer service email weeks ago, got a response and the information remains incorrect. Even the search for specific items isn't very helpful. Always telling me to bring it somewhere, what about bulk days? What about calling my municipality for metal pickup? App is subpar compared to the old one. really unfortunate. The RecycleRight app was insanely better. This app seems to literally, just be a coach and not an actually for your specific manipality.

This App is a great learning experience and has taught me a great deal to better my recycling habits. Happy to learn I've been pretty good at recycle correctly. The most interesting are to the detailed Articles presented to Iearn and discover which materials leave a large impact print that are negatively affecting the recycling program’s performance. Receiving Badges for corrected answers in all the Quizzes are fun too. Also with "Contest Quizzes " to win money. Love the Reminders!
