Waste Connections Unveils New Phone APP for Convenience

Waste Connections has rolled out for its residential customers an APP that will inform the customer of trash/recycliing schedules and also provide for online bill payment options.  It is called WasteConnect and it is an APP that everyone can download to their phone or just use it on our website.  Click here to be directed to the online payment options.  There are also links on Waste Connections website at www.wasteconnectionspa.com.  Once on thewebsite, go to the “Schedule” tab.   The links are below the calendar.  

Once a customer downloads the app, they can set up their account by entering their address.  The app will find their address if they are an active residential customer.  They can then see the pickup schedule and sign up for alerts.  The app will send an alert the night before their pickup day, reminding them to set out their trash and recycling.  Waste Connections will also send alerts for service interruptions or delays through the APP.  So when the next snowstorm comes, Waste Connections can alert everyone with the APP personally what the schedule will be for the week.  Waste Connections can also update that alert as the week goes on. 

One of the best things about the APP is the Waste Wizard.  If you have something that you are not sure whether it is recyclable or not, you type it into the Wizard and it will tell you if it should be put in the recycling container or the garbage container.  For instance if someone has a pizza box and doesn’t know where it belongs…they type “pizza box” in the search field and a menu will pop up with choices:  “Greasy” or “Empty and no food residue”.  Of course the greasy pizza box belongs in the trash while the clean box can be recycled.
