01
Midweek, nobody is home.
A weekend house still generates a week of collection. Bins go out and stay out until someone comes back for them.
LAKESIDE, MICHIGAN
For the house
you are not at.
Lakeside fills on Friday and empties on Sunday. The collection truck does not keep weekend hours, which leaves bins at the road for days with nobody home to move them.

WHY THIS TOWN
The house is empty. The bins are not.
02
A road that people look at.
Red Arrow runs past every one of these houses. Bins left standing on Wednesday are seen by everyone through Saturday.
03
You already hand off the lawn.
Most houses along this stretch already pay someone for the grass, the snow, and the open and close. This is the same idea, on a smaller bill.

We are not running in Michigan yet. Tell us where you are and we will come back to you when a Lakeside route makes sense.
BEFORE YOU ASK
Fair questions.
We are only here on weekends. Is this worth it?
That is the case it fits best. The bins still go to the road on a weekday when the house is empty, and they stay there until someone returns. Tell us on the form how often you are up.
Is Trashcan Toucan operating in Michigan?
Not yet. We serve South Bend, Mishawaka and Granger, Indiana. Harbor Country is where we are looking next, and these pages exist to find out whether the demand is real before we commit a route to it.
What does joining cost?
Nothing. There is no charge, no card, and no obligation. You are telling us an address would want this, and we will tell you if and when it opens.
