#3> Investors like that it’s an asset-light business, too. Instead of purchasing its own trucks, RTS is partnering with a growing number of mid-size, independent haulers
Please, son. The Bezos Whole Foods don't pay no externalities!

That's what I was thinking.
I'm assuming they go above and beyond what the city may offer.
if you are a company like whole foods - you probably don't want trash sitting around until a city assigned garbage is ready to pick it up in a week. same with hotels, etc.

Only for residences. All offices and apartment buildings have to get their own contracts.

They don't already have an arrangement? I've never noticed this problem at a grocery outlet.

What's next? An Uber-like service that will deliver gasoline directly to your car that is parked in your driveway?
Hmm... Come to think of it, that would actually be pretty sweet. I would never have to stop and fill up my gas tank! It would just always be full! A gas delivery truck would come in the middle of the night (according to a schedule I define using the mobile app), and it would fill up my car's tank and automatically bill my credit card!
