Drive a local Garbage Drop route a few mornings a week. Roll bins to the curb before the truck comes, bring them back after. Quiet, consistent, and done before most people finish breakfast.
Based on a 4-day route in Franklin, KY
Typical range — varies by route size, tip streaks, and OnDemand bonuses
We built the driver app around one idea: route workers should never have to guess what to do next.
Open the Garbage Drop driver app the night before. Accept the route assignment for tomorrow. Done.
Every stop is a pin with notes — gate codes, bin placement, preferred spot. Navigate with one tap.
Scan the QR at each stop, take a quick photo, flag anything weird. That's the whole check-in.
Payments hit your bank every Friday for the previous week's routes. Tips auto-included.
Pay hits every Friday for last week's routes. Tips and OnDemand bonuses included automatically.
