Broken after new update

Ever since I updated the app, it opens to a blank screen after the splash page (where the Ottawa logo is noticeably bad resolution).

Not sure what bugs you fixed… Even after uninstalling and reinstalling, it doesn’t work at all.

We need it to remember what we need to recycle or if there is a pick up delay

2025-07-06

Great

Please add the location locator into the app.

Terrible app

This app can’t find my address. The old app worked great but not this one. It really is garbage!

Now, April/ 2025 it’s working!

2025-03-05

About taken stuff off my Lawn

Which they would watch what they take that is not near the garbage at all

2025-02-23

Très utile!

Application très utile pour ne manquer aucune information sur le ramassage, les reports du ramassage, les déchets à recycler, et bien plus encore.

2025-02-17

FANTASTIC!!!

Fantastic app, the reminder every week is super! Helps me a lot!!!!

2025-02-16

Great app for new Ottawa residents

I used a similar app in my last city. It’s been great to access to this info to help me understand Ottawa’s Collection schedule and what goes where.

2025-02-16

Good app very good

Reminders

I don’t know how many times I have had to be reminded what and when collection is. Thanks for the help. Fading memory is no fun.

2025-01-29

Great App

5-star app from the City of Ottawa. Takes the guess work out of what to bring to the curb and it adjusts the day automatically if there are statutory holidays during the week. One less think to think about.

2025-01-27

Great app

Very useful app

2024-12-31

The Perfect Reminder

Reminds me what to put out at the curb on collection day and when.

2024-12-30

Waste removal

This always gives me the information that relates to my Ottawa Collection for waste.

2024-12-25

Garbage collection

This calendar is incredibly helpful. It’s good for planning ahead and for day to day purposes.

2024-12-10

The best app!

I’ve lived in other cities and not only it’s bilingual but it sends you notifications the night before telling the specifics as to what to put outside. Great job OTTAWA! I wished though that if we could amalgamate all city services on ONE application (recycling, taxes, water, etc.).

Blu , BLK and garbage bins always damaged

The men always bang on the bins or throw the bins so hard on the ground, all the bins were damaged cracked at the corner, also they not empty garbage properly and leave garbage and the mess behind.

We understand the jobs is not easy but at least when working on the jobs please taking it easy, relax and happy on the work day. Please happy make the days going easy.

2024-09-18

Great App

I find it very useful as I am new to the City and find it hard to remember what is picked up each week.

Collection

Great App

2024-08-27

Clear and concise

The first Ottawa collection app I used was all pictographs - pictographs that were indecipherable! Little difference between the blue and green colours, for example.

This app eliminates all confusion!

App recyclage poubelles

Very handy and so useful

Weekly reminder for blue bin vs black bin collection; and holiday delay reminders are so helpful. I frequently refer to the Waste Explorer when unsure which bin an item belongs in.

2024-07-16

Crashes

This was a great app until recently. Now it just crashes anytime you want to look something up in the app.

2024-06-06

Easy

Great app and easy to use

Great!

Very helpful. I rely on it every week.

Collections App

Love the YOW Collections App. Every week I can determine the proper bins to put out before I have a big redo!

Just a quick look and I have the info I need to keep organized.

2024-04-09

Garbage PickUp

Good to see what we have to put out. The men we see picking up the garbage do a fine job.

2024-03-04

A surprisingly great app.. from the government!!?

An actual great use of our tax dollars. Well designed, easy to use, actual helpful notifications about delays. Good job City of Ottawa!

2024-02-29

200 Lakeway collection

They are extremely untidy mainly at my Holme! Sounds paranoid, i know, but it happens practically every week at my home but nowhere else Cans and told tossed erratically on lawn and driveway, not paired. Always a little garbage left both in containers and on street!

Job freeman. Md

2021-06-22
