About TrashAlert

TrashAlert is a free, community-powered platform that helps you never miss trash day again.

The Problem

Every household faces the same frustration: "When is my trash pickup day?"Municipal websites are clunky. Schedules shift for holidays. Recycling is every other week. And when you move to a new address, good luck figuring it out without calling city hall.

In San Diego alone, 225,000+ households rely on a Salesforce-powered lookup tool that requires navigating a map interface just to find their collection day. There's no mobile-friendly experience. No reminders. No calendar integration.

Our Solution

TrashAlert combines community-reported schedules with official municipal data to create the most accurate, user-friendly trash pickup database — starting with San Diego and expanding nationwide.

When you report your pickup day, you're not just helping yourself — you're building a resource for your entire neighborhood. As more people confirm schedules, our data becomes more reliable through consensus verification.

How Community Data Works

• You report your collection day — it takes 10 seconds
• When 3+ people confirm the same day for an address, it becomes "verified"
• Conflicting reports are tracked and resolved as more data comes in
• Our leaderboard recognizes top contributors (GasBuddy-style)
