Valet trash and door-to-door waste collection
A door-to-door paid trash and recycling pickup service for apartment buildings, charging residents or buildings per pickup.
The idea, in plain language
A door-to-door paid trash and recycling pickup service for apartment buildings, charging residents or buildings per pickup.

The business is hyper-local and physical, with startup cost tied to bins, bags, and route time rather than software.
Where the sources agree
- Started from a personal pain point in the founders' own building
- Revenue comes from per-pickup fees paid by residents or buildings
- Hyper-local service with simple operations
