| 2024-10-31 |  | | The Ottawa Bin Collection app is great, I love the reminders for garbage/recycle day. It gives the details for what you can put out and if there are limits. You can check the Ottawa website too to figure out what goes where too if you're not sure. 5 star app for sure |
| 2024-01-07 |  | | Works well and does exactly the job it needs to do. It would be nice to have maps of like recycling depots, battery recycling locations, etc., but that's just a nitpick on my part. Overall it's honestly the perfect app. Does one thing (notifies you when garbage day is coming up), and does it well. |
| 2022-12-20 |  | | A solid app to have, when it works. I have the notifications set up, but they don't consistently go off. It's troubling to put your faith in the app to let you know via notification the night before for pickup and then you realize that the app let you down when the garbage truck rolls by. |
| 2022-10-24 |  | | This app works exactly as it says. Super light and reliable. Notifications give me ample time to prepare, tell me when collection is delayed, and what bins go out that week. It even offers tips like what goes in what bin and information on special collection options like bulk items. I would be lost without it! |
| 2021-12-21 |  | | This is the best app for garbage collection I could imagine. It's designed friendly and clearly. It has a garbage searching helps you easily find out what goes to which bin. And it provides notification to remind user about the garbage collection day. And it even encourage user to recycle some special items with a map. There's nothing super complex inside. The technology it uses has not special, but it's just built in a perfect shape. Hope all other cities also have this kind of App. |
| 2021-08-10 |  | | So far so good! I've gone with 4 stars because it seems that the waste explorer site often doesn't function properly, however for reminders and functuonality, the app is great. Perhaps it would be better if things like the waste explorer were embedded into the app functionality and optimized gor mobile rather than linking to what seem to be pretty dated web based sites. |
| 2021-08-03 |  | | Lovely app, keeps getting better. I appreciate the notifications telling me when to put out what. Also excellent is the lookup function that tells you how to dispose of different items: blue bin, black bin, green bin, garbage, or specialty dropoff locations. And for the specialty dropoff locations (electronics, medications, batteries, etc.) I appreciate the map showing how far each option is from my home. |
| 2021-07-14 |  | | This app is really helpful in tracking when garbage (and what kind) day is and even tells you when there will be a delay due to holidays. It also provides really useful and practical tips on how to dispose of different materials, and repurposing of items. I really like the tips that are included! |
| 2021-07-05 |  | | Love that I'm never guessing which pickup day it is, or when. If you've ever gambled and lost on trying to find out which day it was by looking at what your neighbors have in front of their house, this app is for you. Also let you quickly find out which bin something should go in. Seriously, worth downloading for the reminder notifications alone. Don't forget to put in your postal code though! |
| 2021-05-19 |  | | Great reminder for waste pickup. Now if you can upgrade it to include a GPS feature of where the trucks are relative to your residence. That would mean less garbage on our street due to the elements or from scavengers. Just a thought on an additional feature. |
