Spare room in a neighbour's bin, for the weeks yours is overflowing.
Hosts list the space they aren't using in their trash, recycling, or yard-waste bin. Guests nearby request it, drop their bags off before pickup, and the host confirms. That's the whole thing.
Three steps, one pickup day.
No sign-up fee, no scheduling app, no council paperwork. Just a bin that has room and a bin that doesn't.
Hosts list spare room
Pick the bin type, the pickup day and window, how many bags fit, and what it costs in credits. Add a photo and any house rules. Pause it any week you need the space back.
Guests nearby request it
Search by distance and bin type. Listings show an approximate location only. Send a request saying how many bags, and the host accepts or declines.
Drop off, confirm, done
Once accepted, the exact address appears and you can message each other. Mark the drop-off, the host confirms, credits move, and both sides can leave a rating.
Colour-coded the way your street already is.
The lid colour carries the meaning everywhere in the app, so nobody puts food scraps in the recycling.
Trash
Bagged household waste for the landfill bin.
- Tied bags only
- Nothing loose, nothing leaking
Recycling
Clean and dry, following the host's local rules.
- Cardboard flattened
- Containers rinsed
Yard & food
Green waste and food scraps where the service collects them.
- Leaves, clippings, small branches
- Food scraps in compostable bags
Your bin is half empty most weeks. Let it earn its keep.
- Set your own price per bag, or list it free for the street
- Say yes or no to every request. Nothing is automatic
- Your address stays hidden until you accept
- Pause the listing whenever you need the room yourself
Moved house, hosted a party, cleared the garage?
- See what's available within walking distance
- Know the pickup window before you ask
- Message the host once you're accepted
- Pay in credits. Confirm your email and the demo hands you 50 to start
Built like a good neighbour would want it.
The parts that matter when strangers are using your bin.
Approximate until accepted
Search results show a fuzzed location. The exact address is shared only after the host says yes.
The host has the last word
Every request needs an accept, and every drop-off needs the host's confirmation before anything is settled.
In-app, per request
Sort out timing and where to leave the bags without swapping phone numbers.
Ratings both ways
Hosts rate guests and guests rate hosts once a request completes.
Attestation on every request
Guests confirm what they're dropping is allowed. Hosts can flag a request that breaks the rules.
Confirmed email, 18+
Every account confirms its email address and agrees to the terms and an age gate before it can list or request.
Questions people ask first.
Is this real money?
Not yet. XtraTrash is a working demo. Hosts set prices in credits, every account gets 50 when it confirms its email, and the ledger tracks every transfer. Real payments and identity checks are deliberately not part of this build.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser. On a phone it also runs in Expo Go, and it builds as a native iOS and Android app.
Does the host see who I am before accepting?
Hosts see your name, your neighbourhood, and the request itself: how many bags and any note you add. You see the host's approximate location until they accept, and then the exact address.
What if someone dumps something they shouldn't?
Every request carries an attestation that the bags follow the rules. If a drop-off breaks them, the host can flag the request with a reason, and it stays in both sides' activity history as flagged.
Can I both host and use other people's bins?
Yes. One account does both. Your bins live under "Your bins" and every request you're part of, either side, shows under "Activity".
Your bin goes out on the same day anyway.
