I can see at least one consumer use for this.

When we clean out the garage, my girlfriend and I rent a uhaul truck to take everything to the dump/goodwill/storage.

If I could use this service to just have somebody show up with a truck and pick up the things we want to throw away, it would be really helpful.



I just did this at my moms house. But we called the people that do the weekly trash service. For 20 bucks they will drop off a large dumpster and leave it there for a week. And then they will pick it up for 40 dollars.

And this is large dumpster like you find behind grocery stores.


1-800-got-junk?


Sure, but if this is "uber for garbage", then wouldn't the equivalent to existing services be yellow taxi?


1-800-GOT-JUNK is not similar to taxis. You can easily just order a pickup from their site: http://www.1800gotjunk.com/us_en

How does this startup compete?


Well just looking at their site, it doesn't look like they tell you what the price is.
