Some businesses are so simple you can’t believe they’re real. CanMonkey is one of them 👀
They roll your trash and recycling cans out to the curb on collection day, then bring them back in. That’s the whole service.
Their sweet spot is Airbnb hosts. On turnover days there’s nobody around to take the bins out, and you can’t trust guests to do it.
It’s a flat subscription, starting at $45/month per property. Bootstrapped, profitable, and now in 250+ cities across 25 states – enough to land them on the Inc. 5000. 🤯
The local version is dead easy to copy 👇
Line up 25 short-term rentals in a tourist town at $45 a month and that’s over $1,000/month in recurring revenue, just for hauling bins. Startup cost is basically a few flyers and a branded polo.
The same model works on apartment complexes – “valet trash,” where you collect bins from residents’ doors and wheel them to the dumpster.
Lock in a few recurring contracts near you and you’ve got a boring little business nobody else wants to touch 😎
