The route
Customers, the collection day, and the price your family sets. Neighbor prices are yours. BinBoss does not decide what a can costs.
For parents
Turning hustle into habit. Earn, learn, and lead.
BinBoss is the app for a neighborhood trash-can business a kid can run: bins to the curb before pickup, and back after. A parent holds the account. The kid keeps the route — and what they earn.
The button opens the web preview. App Store and Google Play listings are not live yet. After the beta, Free covers one kid and up to 6 customers.

What BinBoss is
A curb route, with a parent on the account.
The habit
A basic schedule so pickup day is written down, and a flyer you can print for the block.
The parent
You open the account and give consent. If you choose Pro or Family, you are the one who pays.
Tuesday, after school
- 1 Maple — two cans
- 2 Oak — one can
- 3 Corner house — one can
Your family sets the price. BinBoss does not.
How it works
Four steps to a route.
The work is still the cans. The app keeps the list, the day, and the parent in the loop. Read how to start a trash can curb business if you are still planning the first week.

Do the work and keep the money
Your kid hauls the cans. Neighbors pay them. Reminders, a route map, an earnings tracker, and online payments are free for a Founding Boss during the beta.
Safety
A parent says yes first.
BinBoss is built for families, with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in mind. A child does not open an account alone.
- The account holder is a parent, guardian, teacher, or scout leader.
- Consent comes before anyone under 13 uses the app.
- There is no kid-only signup.
- BinBoss is not an ad product for children.
- Customer notes stay on the family’s account.
- Questions go to [email protected].
Pricing
Prices that start after the beta.
These prices are for the app, and a parent pays them only after the beta. They are not what a kid charges the neighbors. You choose a plan inside the app. This website does not take payment.

During the beta, a Founding Boss gets Pro features at no charge. After the beta, Free does not include reminders, the route map, the earnings tracker, or online payments. Those are on Pro and Family. Founding Bosses get a heads-up before any charge.
Collections
No extra percent. Kids keep what neighbors pay.
BinBoss does not add a fee on top of a neighbor’s payment, and it does not take a share of what your kid collects. The only BinBoss charge is the optional app subscription, paid by the parent.
If a family uses online payments on Pro or Family, the card processor can charge its own processing fee. That fee is not a BinBoss cut.

Questions
What parents ask before they start.
Is BinBoss free during the beta?
BinBoss is free at launch. Join as a Founding Boss and Pro features are free during the beta. A Founding Boss gets a heads-up before any charge. After the beta, Free is $0 for 1 kid and up to 6 customers, Pro is $4.99 a month or $39 a year, and Family is $9.99 a month for up to 4 kids. This website does not take payment.
What has to happen before a child under 13 uses BinBoss?
A parent, guardian, teacher, or scout leader holds the account. Consent comes before anyone under 13 uses the app. There is no kid-only signup. BinBoss is not built as an advertising product for children. The privacy page is a draft and will be replaced before BinBoss charges for a subscription.
What should a kid charge neighbors to take cans to the curb?
The family sets that price. BinBoss does not. What a neighbor pays for the cans is separate from the app subscription. Decide whether the job is out only, back only, or both, and how many cans are on the stop. A guide on this site shows a fill-in example and a few prices other curb services publish on their own sites.
Do kids keep what neighbors pay?
Yes. BinBoss does not add a percent on top of a neighbor’s payment and does not take a share of what a kid collects. The only BinBoss charge is the optional app subscription after the beta, paid by the parent. If a family later uses online payments, the card processor can charge its own processing fee. That fee is not a BinBoss cut.
How does a trash-can route work?
A parent opens the account, adds the kid and the neighbors, sets the collection day, and can print a flyer. The kid rolls the cans to the curb and brings them back. Start with households the family already knows, on streets the kid can walk. The start guide on this site lists the first week.
