Yes, however for example I live in an unincorporated area and have to either contract my own trash removal, or haul it myself to a county trash site and pay by the bag to throw it away.

I pay about $25/month for weekly pickup. Some weeks I have less trash and could skip the pickup, but that doesn't save me any money. Some weeks I forget to set it out for pickup on the designated day and I have to wait until the next week.

If I could get my trash picked up on demand whenever I have a full bin that would be something I'd seriously look at. I think it's a great idea.

Unfortunately I think it would end up being more expensive. No way ad-hoc pickup out in a rural area is going to be cheaper than a truck sweeping through the area once a week and servicing all the houses on one trip.
