★★★★☆ rick Ward · Dec 15, 2022

App didn't find my address at first but after a reinstallation and possibly background work by CCC staff it now works. Even gave me a reminder to put bins out tonight 😊

★★★★★ Ingrid Robertson · Jul 20, 2026

Great reminder when and which bin to put out. Easy to look up info on what can go in your bins. It would be good if there was a place on the app you could put your bin number.

★★★★☆ Nyrene Taylor · Jun 30, 2024

Just moved and found this app ... awesome!! Just wish I could check days for Red Bin Collection as app only allows me see next week which is Yellow and Green Bin. I presume Red and Green Bin day will show next week !!! Thx :)

This is a great app! I wasn't going to download the app on my new phone, but I'm glad I did as it must have been updated because I'm getting reminders to put out and bring in my bins. Choice 👍💯

★☆☆☆☆ SKINNY P · Jul 30, 2023

Have moved into a property and previous tenant had the yellow recycling bin revoked by CCC. Now punishing future tenants with an invoice to pay for a bin I NEVER put rubbish in, at a property paying rates like everyone else. Ka Pai CCC Ka Pai.

★☆☆☆☆ Sarah Innes · Feb 20, 2023

Doesn't send me alert when to put the bin out. Doesn't tell me what bin to put out, 21st of Feb is yellow bin collection day, but it tells me no bins will be collected. Useless and unhelpful, the cal lender is better.

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Wilson · Nov 7, 2022

Never seems to remind me at the set time to put bins out or bring them in. Now it has a "technical" issue and just gives a black circle of spinning death. So glad to see my rates' money being so well spent. It's now been over a week and still no progress made on that at spinning circle of death. Can now say the "technical" issue has been resolved after about another week. The developer has given some advice on getting the reminders to work better, and it appears to be doing a better job.

Pushes notifications continuously every 20 seconds or so as soon as you add an address. Does the same on another phone we tried it on. Hopeless.
