With the city’s mobile phone app,
you can point, click and send
photos of graffiti, weeds, abandoned
shopping carts and other code
violations. The app is available for
the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
Once your
account is set up,
the app allows
users to choose
an option to
receive updates
on the status of
their request.
The app
is developed by the software
company PublicStuff.
The city’s Solid Waste Services
offers its “My Waste” app as a way
for residents to get information and
set reminders on pick-up, recycling
and bulk schedules.
It helps avoid losing track of
collection days with a detailed
calendar
customized
to the user’s
address. It’s an
easy-to-navigate
convenience
that helps keep
important local
contacts at the user’s fingertips. This
app is developed by Municipal Media
Inc.
Residents also can contact the
city through a Contact Chandler
form on the city’s website, or via the
phone or mail, as well as through the
city’s social media accounts.

do not have
the app on a
