Drive with Curb Hero
Curb Hero drivers earn $2 per leg — once when cans go out, once when they come back. Claim routes in your neighborhood, snap a photo at each leg, and Stripe sends earnings to your bank.

$2 when you photograph the cans on the curb, $2 when you photograph them back in place. Cash out instantly through Stripe.

Driver questions
Stripe transfers typically land in your bank within 1–2 business days. Stripe handles the bank network, not us.
As many as you can realistically handle. Most drivers do 20–40 homes a night, two nights a week, on routes near home.
Each home has a primary driver (you) and up to two backup drivers. If you can't make it, a backup is automatically eligible to pick it up.
No. Most drivers do this in their own car — you're moving cans from a house to the curb, not transporting trash.
Take-outs typically run from 6pm to midnight the night before pickup. Bring-backs run from city pickup time until 8pm the same day.
Sign up, set your home base, connect Stripe. Start claiming homes the same week.
