## Review summary

Users praise the app for being easy to use and for delivering schedule info, reminders, and centralized disposal guidance. However, recurring issues include inaccurate schedules, frequent delays/missed pickups (notably recycling and yard waste), and unreliable reporting to 311. These cons reflect delays and information gaps even as the app remains a valuable tool for staying informed during storms and debris events.

### Pros

- Easy to use and navigate (user-friendly)
- Provides clear schedule, pickup days, and item-specific disposal information with reminders/notifications
- Keeps residents informed about delays and offers proactive alerts (reduces anxiety)
- Centralized hub for curbside pickup, drop-off locations, and disposal centers
- Helpful during storms/debris events with service status updates

### Cons

- Information and pickup schedules are sometimes inaccurate or not up-to-date (days can be wrong)
- Missed or delayed pickups (especially recycling) are common and may not be made up promptly
- Reporting issues (app or 311) sometimes aren’t logged or responded to effectively
- Yard waste/green bag pickups are particularly unreliable or delayed (weeks between pickups)
