FAQs

How does the subscription service work?

Our service operates on a convenient monthly subscription model for $16.95. Once you sign up, we handle the movement of your trash cans to and from the curb on your scheduled collection days. Each week, our team ensures your trash cans are properly placed at the curb in time for pickup and returned promptly after collection, saving you time and effort. The subscription is continuous, so you’ll receive this service every week without having to worry about remembering trash day. Additionally, you’ll receive real-time service updates, so you’re always informed of when the service has been completed. Should you need additional services, like managing more than one trash can, these options can be added for a small extra fee.

How do I sign up for the service?

Signing up for our trash can management service is quick and simple. You can easily subscribe online through our website, or by giving us a call at 505-585-1185. During the sign-up process, you’ll be asked to provide your address, select your service preferences (such as additional trash cans or special instructions), and choose your payment method. You can also email our sales team directly at sales@thegoodneighbornetwork.com if you have any questions or need assistance with the sign-up process. We aim to make the entire experience as seamless and convenient as possible, so you can start enjoying the benefits of our service right away.

What areas do you service?

We currently serve the Gallup, NM area. If you're unsure whether your home falls within our service zone, you can give us a call at 505-585-1185 or email us at sales@thegoodneighbornetwork.com to verify. Generally, if your trash can is serviced by the City of Gallup, we will likely service your home. For a quick reference, you can also visit gis.gallupnm.us to check if your address is within the mapped area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about our coverage.

What happens on my service day?

On your scheduled service day, our trained team will arrive at your property to ensure your trash cans are properly positioned for collection. We will move the trash cans from their designated location, whether that’s the backyard, side yard, or another spot, to the curb for pickup. After the waste has been collected, we’ll return your trash cans to their original location promptly. Our team uses QR tags on each trash can to track them in real-time, ensuring a seamless and accurate process. You’ll also receive real-time updates once the service is complete.

How do I receive service updates?

You’ll receive real-time updates via email to the address on file as soon as we perform the service. Once our technician scans the QR code on your trash can, our system will send you a notification, letting you know when your trash cans have been moved and where they are currently located, whether that’s at the curb for pickup or back in their designated spot on your property. This ensures you stay informed throughout the process without having to guess whether the service was completed.


Trash Cans

What types of trash cans do you service?

We primarily service standard residential trash cans, which are usually provided by the city or your local waste management company. These are the standard-sized bins that are wheeled to the curb for weekly trash collection. If you have non-standard or custom trash cans, such as oversized or specialty bins, feel free to reach out to us directly. We’re happy to discuss whether these can be included in your service plan or if any special arrangements are needed to accommodate them.

How many trash cans can I have serviced?

You can have as many trash cans serviced as needed to accommodate your household. The base service includes the first trash can, and any additional cans are charged at a small extra fee per can. This ensures you get the flexibility to manage all of your waste efficiently, no matter how many bins you use. You can update the number of trash cans in your account at any time, and we’ll adjust your service accordingly.

Do you service recycling bins?
Currently, we do not service recycling bins unless they are managed by your city or local waste management company. If your area provides recycling services, we can move the bins for you as part of our regular service. Unfortunately, for areas outside of city or local waste management coverage, we are unable to handle recycling bins at this time. However, we’re working toward expanding our services and hope to offer recycling bin management in more areas in the future.
Do you service non-standard waste items?

Currently, we focus on standard residential trash cans as part of our service. Non-standard waste items, such as large or unusual items, hazardous materials, or items not typically collected by your local waste management service, are not covered by our service at this time. If you have questions about specific types of waste or need guidance on disposal, please contact us, and we can provide information on alternative disposal options or refer you to local resources that can assist with these items.

What happens if my trash can is damaged during service?

Our technicians are carefully trained to handle your trash cans with the utmost care to prevent any damage. In the unlikely event that damage does occur during our service, please contact us immediately. We will thoroughly investigate the situation, assess the extent of the damage, and work with you to resolve the issue promptly. This may include repairing or replacing the damaged trash can, depending on the circumstances. We take these matters seriously and strive to ensure your satisfaction with our service.

What if my trash can is full or too heavy to move?

Our service is designed to handle standard residential trash cans effectively. However, if a trash can is exceptionally heavy or overflowing beyond its intended capacity, it may pose safety risks for our technicians. In such cases, we may not be able to move the can to prevent injury or damage. We recommend keeping your trash can within standard weight limits and ensuring it is not overfilled. For cans that are consistently problematic, you might consider contacting your local waste management service for additional trash can, support or alternatives. If you have any concerns or need guidance on how to manage your trash can’s capacity, please feel free to reach out to our customer support for assistance.

Can I request a specific placement for my trash cans after service?

Yes, you can request specific placement for your trash cans after they’ve been serviced. When setting up your service or anytime thereafter, you can provide detailed instructions on where you’d like your cans placed. This could include preferences for placement on your driveway, near a specific area of your yard, or any other location that suits your needs. You can update or adjust these preferences through your online account settings at any time. If you need immediate assistance or have special requirements, please contact our customer support team to ensure we accommodate your requests accurately.

What happens if I notice my QR tag is missing?

If your weather-resistant QR tag comes off, please contact us immediately to report the issue. We will arrange for a service technician to replace your QR tag either before or during your next scheduled service date and ensure that your service continues without interruption. In the meantime, you can still receive service by notifying us of any changes or issues directly.

How do I know who is servicing my property?

We take the security of your home seriously, which is why all of our technicians adhere to strict identification and uniform guidelines. Each technician wears a clearly marked uniform with our company logo, making them easily recognizable. In addition, every team member carries a visible company-issued identification badge with their photo and name for your peace of mind. 

What steps do you take to ensure the security of my property?

Our technicians are trained to follow strict security protocols when servicing your property. They respect any specific instructions or access routes you provide, ensuring that only designated areas are used for moving your trash cans. By adhering to these guidelines, we minimize disruptions and maintain the privacy and security of your home. Additionally, each technician is trained to leave your property as they found it, making sure that gates are closed and cans are returned to their original location after service.

Can I provide specific instructions for accessing my property?

Yes, we understand that every property is unique, and we want to respect your preferences. You can provide specific instructions for our technicians, such as which gate to use, areas to avoid, or any access codes needed. These instructions ensure we follow your preferred route when moving your trash cans, protecting your property and maintaining your privacy. You can easily submit these guidelines during the sign-up process or update them at any time through your online account, so your preferences are always up to date.

How do you ensure privacy during service?

We take your privacy very seriously. Our technicians are thoroughly trained to focus solely on the task at hand—moving your trash cans. They are instructed to remain on designated pathways and avoid unnecessary interactions with other areas of your property. Our team will never enter your home, garage, or any private spaces. Once the service is complete, your trash cans will be returned to the exact location where they were found, ensuring minimal disruption and maintaining the privacy of your home and yard. Additionally, all customer instructions regarding access points are strictly followed to respect your preferences.

What should I do if I notice something unusual after my service?

Our technicians follow a strict code of conduct to ensure professionalism and care while on your property. We take all reports seriously and will promptly investigate any concerns you have. Rest assured, we strive to resolve issues quickly and efficiently, maintaining the trust and safety of our customers.

What if I have a locked gate or need special access for my property?

If your property has a locked gate or requires special access, such as a gate code or key, you can provide these details in your account settings.

Our team will strictly follow your access instructions to ensure that your property remains secure. We will never enter your property or use access points without your explicit permission and guidance.

What if I have security cameras on my property?

If you have security cameras installed on your property, we want to ensure that our service respects your privacy and operates seamlessly with your security system. Our technicians are trained to be aware of security cameras when being filmed and will do their best to avoid triggering them or interfering with their operation. 

To help us better accommodate your security setup, please inform us of any specific camera locations or access restrictions when you set up your service or through your online account. This allows us to navigate your property more effectively while respecting your security measures. If you have any concerns or specific instructions related to your security system, please share them with us so we can ensure that our service aligns with your privacy and security preferences.

Do you take photos of my property during service?

Our technicians may take photos of your trash cans after they have been moved to the curb and returned to their original location to verify that the service has been completed accurately. These photos are strictly limited to the trash cans and their placement. We do not take any photos of your property or personal areas. All photos are stored securely and are used solely for internal purposes, such as ensuring service quality and resolving any potential issues. We will never share these photos publicly or with any third parties without your explicit consent. If you have any concerns about this practice or would like to opt-out, please contact our customer support for assistance.

Can I request the same technician each time?

While we aim to provide consistency in our service, we cannot always guarantee that the same technician will be assigned to your property for each service. Our scheduling and routing may occasionally require different technicians to handle your account. However, we prioritize consistency by ensuring that all our technicians are highly trained, background-checked, and adhere to the same strict guidelines for safety, reliability, and respect. Each technician follows our established protocols to ensure that your trash cans are handled properly and that your property is treated with care. If you have specific preferences or concerns, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate them within the constraints of our operational needs.

They follow clear guidelines and protocols to minimize risks while moving the cans to and from the curb.

In the rare instance that damage does occur, we have a straightforward reporting process in place. Should you notice any damage after a service, you can contact our customer support immediately.
