Do I need SeattleRecycleGarbage? Absolutely not. Is it still one of maybe three apps total that I turn on notifications for? Yes.
It’s dumb that I need an app to tell me that Thursday is garbage day, but, I use it every week.
It’s useful, makes my life better, and reduces the ‘just put out recycle and hope it’s the right Thursday’ shuffle.
It also has information if I want it. It doesn’t make me dig three layers in to know if it’s recycle day. In the great wasteland of apps, this is one of very few that I’m happy to hear from.
Whoever built this should take a stab at fixing our roads, and dealing with our drug addiction and homelessness issues. Seems like it’s one of a few slam dunks the City of Seattle has cranked out.
Kudos.
