THE TOUCAN STANDARD
Your week.
One less thing to manage.
Trash day comes around every week. Remembering it doesn’t have to.
We work around your collection schedule, taking your bins to the curb and returning them to their designated place. At home or away, it’s one less responsibility on your list.
Care, without the coordination.
A familiar routine for your property. No need to be home—just provide access to your bins.
A property detail, covered.
For your own home or a property you manage, we handle bin placement before collection and return afterward.
LESS TO DO. MORE TO COME HOME TO.
Make room
for your kind
of nothing.
The unhurried morning. The extra conversation.
The things you’d rather be doing.
A ROUTINE YOU CAN RELY ON
Set it up once.
Take it off your list.
Three simple steps.
One less weekly responsibility.
01
Make it yours.
Start your subscription, then complete the service setup form with your address, collection schedule, and bin access details.
02
Out before collection.
The night before your collection day, we place your bins at the curb according to your hauler’s requirements.
03
Back where they belong.
Once collection is complete, we return your bins to their designated location. Your routine stays simple.
Your collection provider handles waste removal. We handle getting your bins there and back.
THE SEASON IT WAS BUILT FOR
We still go.
South Bend averages sixty-four inches of snow a year, more than anywhere else in Indiana. Most of it arrives off the lake overnight, between December and March. If the collection truck is running, your bins still make it to the curb.
01
The driveway at six in the morning.
Dark, cold, and half-frozen from the day before. That is the trip we make, so that it is not the one you make.
02
The holidays move the whole week.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year each shift collection, and every city shifts it differently. We follow your city’s published changes so you do not have to keep track.
03
No pause. No seasonal rate.
We do not pause for the season and the price does not climb for it. The winter months are the same sixty dollars as the summer ones.
04
The one morning we stop.
If the path to your bins is sheet ice with no footing, we tell you that day rather than risk a fall. It is rare. We would rather say it out loud than bury it in fine print.
If the trucks are out, we are out — and on the rare morning it is not safe to be, you hear from us the same day. The only winter you should notice is the one out the window.
ONE PLAN. EVERY COLLECTION WEEK.
A little less
to think about.
Every week.
A flat monthly rate. No per-visit billing. The entire trip to the curb and back, taken care of.

Pick your townA NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
“I would gladly pay someone to take the trash bins to the curb and bring them back. Just handle it every week so I don’t have to think about it.”
That thought, after too many long shifts, is where Trashcan Toucan started.
Read our storyGOOD TO KNOW
Simple service.
Clear answers.
Have something else in mind?
We’re happy to help.
What does curbside valet include?
We move your trash and recycling bins to the curb the night before collection, then return them after the truck runs. You keep your current collection provider. We handle the trip to the curb and back.
Which communities do you serve?
We serve South Bend, Mishawaka, and Granger, Indiana, and Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Dormont and Beechview in the Pittsburgh South Hills. We follow each community’s own collection calendar, or each household’s private hauler schedule in Granger.
How much does service cost?
Charter membership is $60/month for the first 50 properties in each market; the standard rate is $70/month. The household plan covers one trash tote and one recycling tote, with additional totes at $10 each per month. Code IHATETRASH is included in the signup link.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as our team can access your bins and their designated storage location, your service can take place while you are away.
What happens on holidays or in bad weather?
We follow your collection provider’s published calendar, including holiday changes, and we work through ordinary Indiana winter — rain, cold, snow and the dark. The one exception is genuine danger: if the path to your bins is sheet ice with no safe footing, we tell you that day rather than risk a fall, and we return as soon as it is passable. Our terms set out what we ask of you and what we do.
Do I have to shovel before my service day?
No. Keep a reasonably passable path where you can, but we do not expect a cleared driveway and we will not skip you because it snowed. We stop only for conditions that are genuinely unsafe to walk, and we tell you the same day when that happens.
What if you miss a pickup?
If we miss your service, that week is credited automatically and you do not need to ask — including a week we judged too icy to walk safely. If we did not serve you, you do not pay for it. The exceptions are weeks your hauler did not run at all, or where we could not reach the bins because they were not out or a gate was locked. We always tell you what we found.
How do referral credits work?
Each person you refer who becomes an active paying customer takes $5 off your monthly bill. Credits stack and continue while both of you remain active customers. Your bill cannot fall below $0. Twelve active referrals cover the $60 base charter membership; fourteen cover the $70 base standard membership. Additional totes may affect your remaining bill.
Can I cancel my service?
Yes. Service is month to month, with no contract or cancellation fee. You can cancel at any time.
