In many towns and estates, rubbish is collected by small private firms and groups rather than the council. They serve hundreds of homes, shops and market stalls on a weekly round and charge a small fee, which someone has to collect in cash, door to door. Many customers pay late or say they have already paid. Collectors also pay crews, truck owners and dumping fees. A payments app that sends a monthly payment link, takes one-off pickup payments and lets owners pay their crews can win these collectors, and every household on the round sees your app.
