Recycle BC Customer Insights

1. I don't rely on the schedule we receive with the annual property tax bill Never miss a garbage or recycling day.Hasn't always notified me but it's easy to check, regardless.I love the idea of this app because I have recently moved to BC from another province and the recycling in my community is a mixed bag with a few good things and several real short-comings.

2. Apps should be useful or you shouldn't waste taxpayer money making one.A handy app that sends useful reminders of recycling pick-up days.

3. Frustrating when it happens repeatedly, but I love being able to look up items to figure out where they should go - recylce bin /depot/garbage.Unusable without an address.

4. Every time I open the App it asks for an address with no option to skip.

5. It gives you a long list of places where you can take stuff back to but it's in no particular order at all and no option to use location based selection to see which one is closest.

6. Besides showing only the pick-up days you could also show what type of garbage will be picked up.

7. Just a minute in this app and you'll likely run out of patience and toss your stuff in the garbage.Dear Recycle BC Team, I think your App is very helpful and is almost perfect.

8. It doesn't connect you to the data that Product Care allows you to access to figure out where to take a vacuum or a light fixture.

9. Because it does not like my address I am redirected to the Township Website.

10. Unfortunately as soon as I enter my address the app crashes and won't reopen.

11. Cannot use App because it does not like my address.
