This really could be Uber for trash. I pay something like $50 a month for trash collection services, or around $12 a week. That includes yard waste and recycling. If I can fit my trash and recycling into two bags per week and find something else to do with my yard waste, I'll save money by using GoodAndTidy for weekly trash pickup. I like their website and the idea, but it seems like a service that may have trouble becoming profitable based on their $5/bag fees. |

We can even imagine an uberpop for thrash with untrained people driving and destroying their car with thrash, and picking up hazardous wastes such as asbestos and everything that should be highly regulated instead.
If there is room for improvement the solution is always an uber for X because people have cars and people need money.
To be a little bit more constructive, there are already lots of convenient ways to get rid of stuff we don't want anymore, most of them requiring some time investment. But that's not so bad since owning and getting rid of stuff should come at a price. A price we generally dont pay when buying stuff (the recycling tax for electric stuff in Europe is a joke for example).
