I was really excited about this app, but unfortunately no addresses in my city populate, just random addresses in the county. It would be helpful if the app gave some sort of notice that the search was unsuccessful instead of just going blank (leaving me to wonder if it had loaded at all). Only when I checked the website did I find out that my municipality isn't covered. It's odd (a bit confusing) that i was able to select my city on the app but didn't see a notice anywhere it wasn't an option

I have been using this app for years, and it's a really great tool not just for recycling info, but for reminding me when to put the trash and recycling containers at the curb! I never forget now. It has really good info on where to dispose of things - electronics, grease, and other household waste - in the proper way. It also informs me when the brush and bulky pickup is for our area, and when trash collection will be delayed because of a holiday. Really grateful this app exists!

i selected the new Brighton municipality and it won't let me get past a "be part of a grassroots movement to improve recycling in your community!..." pop up on the home screen. it has a button that says "learn more" on the bottom, and I click it but it doesn't do anything. when I go to the only other tab, the discovery tab, it just says something about a program for recycling for kids & has options for 3 different age groups which is not what I'm looking for? 😭
