Durham Region Waste Customer Insights

1. Keep up the good work 💪🏾Really helps me remember what day is garbage collection day vs recycling and let's me know if there are any holidays/alternative pick up days coming up.Super handy to remind you of pickup days, what goes in what bin and special days or short notice changes.I love being able to schedule pick up online.

2. Plus if you have doubts of what is recyclable you can find your answer on the app!Haven't missed a garbage day since I started using the app! Also checked links for dump hours.App has been easy and is good reminder especially on busy or unusual weeks.

3. Great thing is that they are responsive! The only improvement would be to get reminders for events like those one day damaged bin replacement set ups.Nothing better than getting a reminder a day before of what needs to reach the curb tomorrow morning.

4. Does what it needs to very reliably.Still loving this app! The reminder feature and pickup delay or cancellation update.

5. In most cases all I need to do is to read the reminder to know what is being collected this week (and thanks for decluttering the reminder text!).

6. I changed my address, but I still get email notifications for the old address.Simple app, incredibly handy to remind me when and what garbage has to go out.

7. Appreciate all the reminders and notices.It's been a few years that I use this app and I see it as a handy but effective app.

8. I also used it a few times to communicate with waste management and send pictures, like when my bin was mishandled.

9. Works as intended, mostly.
