Field notes
The service organizes collection by neighborhood route rather than treating waste pickup as a citywide anonymous operation. Its pricing model is explicitly per pickup, with no monthly minimum, and the page estimates roughly 20 pounds per bucket. Neighborhoods still forming show their current signup count, including several at zero of four, making route creation visible as a local coordination problem rather than a hidden scheduling step.
