How it works — your side

Fill in your goal, a short description of what you're raising for, and your name. That's all neighbors need to decide to sign up.

You can set a dollar goal and an end date, or leave it open-ended — useful if you want to run pickups throughout a whole sports season or school year.

You can also customize which materials you're collecting (aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass) and add prep notes for your neighbors — e.g. “Please rinse everything and bag separately.”

Time slots are just the days and times when you're free to drive a route — e.g., “Saturdays 8am–12pm” or “Wednesdays 4–6pm.”

You can add multiple windows. Neighbors will self-select into the one that works for them. The app automatically pushes each new neighbor toward whichever window already has the most neighbors nearby — so your route stays geographically tight.

Windows can be one-time, weekly, or every two weeks. You can add or remove windows at any time from your management page.

Once your campaign is live, your management page shows a shareable link. Send it via text, email, Nextdoor, Facebook group, or anywhere else your neighbors hang out.

Neighbors visit the link, enter their address, and pick a time slot. The app tells each one which window is most efficient for the route based on where others nearby have signed up.

You don't need to advertise slots or manage who goes where — it's all automatic.

Before each pickup, your management page shows you a “Route Sheet” for each window — all addresses in proximity order, with a one-tap button to open the full route in Google Maps with turn-by-turn directions.

Neighbors who are skipping that week are flagged automatically. You'll also see any special notes they left — e.g. “bags on the side gate, not the front.”

After the pickup, take your recycling to a local redemption center and log how much you earned. Your campaign progress bar updates in real time for anyone who visits your public page.

Every neighbor gets a personal management link in their confirmation email. From that link, they can skip a single week, update their recycling notes, or cancel their subscription entirely — without ever needing an account or contacting you.

Before each pickup, everyone gets an automatic reminder email with their self-service link. This dramatically reduces no-shows and keeps your route accurate.

If you ever delete a time slot, any neighbors assigned to it get an automatic cancellation email — you don't have to do anything.
