So they pick up someone's trash and give it to some non-profit as a donation? Poor non-profits. It will cost them more to sort through and dispose unwanted items than the value received.
I believe CRTs are normally ~$20 each to dispose. I wonder how many I can fit in a bag.
"Anything that fits into a bag." I've got a propane torch, a fire extinguisher, various household cleaning supplies, and about 100 lb of ceramic tile to get rid of. And I have some 3 mil "contractor bags" than can handle more weight than I can carry. My current plan is to drive the hazardous waste to recology. If someone could do it for me it'd be nice, but I'm not sure that's even legal. Still working out the tile t…
Latex paint can usually be disposed of in normal garbage. Just open the cans and let the paint dry out first.
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.

In Paris it's free, you just have to go on this website and tell what you are throwing away: https://teleservices.paris.fr/sira/jsp/site/Portal.jsp?page=... BTW in the URL: "&form=ramen" I suppose that the developer was hungry.
"Currently in the San Francisco Bay Area." Does not pick up in Palo Alto, Mountain View or Foster City. That's the just few addresses I've tried. A service area map would be helpful.

In Paris, you also get to enjoy Marxism along with free recycling! NICE!
Or you can go to the Sharia part of Paris and have your life be recycled for Allah.
I live in Boston and literally just spend the better part of my day trying to make a donation. I packed everything up and dragged my stuff downstairs to the concierge desk in my building, walked 15 minutes to my parking garage to get my car, drove back to my building on a busy street and double parked to quickly load up the trunk. Then I drove what should have been a 10 minute drive to the Kenmore Square Goodwill but…
