Autonomous waste collection

Tap. Toss. Done.

Robotrash brings on-demand trash collection to your door. Summon a robot, toss your trash in when it arrives, and call it back as many times as you need, all day, every day.

Starting with controlled environments: apartments, gated communities, campuses, and private roads.

The system

Local robots.
Fewer truck stops.

Small robotic rovers collect bagged trash inside controlled communities and bring it to nearby zone stations. Trucks collect from a handful of zone stations instead of hundreds of individual stops.

Component 01

Rover

A small electric robot that navigates controlled environments, accepts bagged trash from residents, and routes itself to the zone station.

Fixed-route operation within controlled zones
Bagged trash only; no loose waste handling
Electric drivetrain, zero emissions, low noise
Remote assist for edge cases

Hardware in development

Component 02

Zone Station

A compact neighborhood aggregation point. The rover deposits collected waste here. When full, the station automatically alerts the operator for a single truck pickup.

Solar-powered, no external power required
Real-time fill monitoring with automated alerts
Designed for courtyards, gated entries, campus zones
Replaces dozens of individual bin stops per visit

Operator truck collecting from a zone station

Component 03

Operator Pickup

When the zone station reaches capacity, one truck makes one stop. Fewer routes, less labor, lower cost. The same waste, handled far more efficiently.

Demand-triggered: truck arrives when station is full
One stop replaces dozens of individual pickups
Integrates with existing operator fleet management
Separate compartments for waste stream sorting

Existing truck infrastructure

How it works

From door to haul
in four steps.

No complex behavior change for residents. No new truck infrastructure. It fits into what already exists.

Request or schedule pickup

Resident requests via app, or the rover follows a set schedule. No bins to drag to the curb.

Rover collects bagged trash

The rover follows a fixed route, accepting bagged trash at each stop: simple, repeatable, constrained.

Rover deposits at zone station

Once full, the rover routes to the zone station. The station tracks fill level and alerts the operator when ready.

Truck hauls from fewer stops

One truck. One zone station. The same waste handled with far less labor and route complexity.

Where we start

Controlled environments first.

Starting where autonomy is most practical: private communities with predictable routes, limited traffic, and repeatable pickup behavior.

Apartment Complexes

Defined perimeters, repeated layouts, resident density. A rover services an entire complex with a fixed route and a single zone station at the entrance.

Gated Communities

Private roads, low traffic, controlled access. The rover operates without the challenges of open public streets: predictable paths, no uncontrolled variables.

Campuses

Universities, corporate campuses, and medical centers with predictable waste volumes. Zone stations eliminate multiple daily truck visits.

Private Roads

HOA-managed streets. One contract with the HOA replaces individual resident agreements, for simpler deployment and faster feedback loops.

Why constrained environments?

The first version does not need perfect city-wide autonomy. Starting here means the system works reliably now, while the harder problems are solved in parallel.

Fixed, repeatable routes reduce navigation complexity
Remote assist available for edge cases and exceptions
Bagged trash only; no bin-lifting hardware required at launch
Limited traffic and pedestrian unpredictability
One contract, one operator, one zone for fast feedback loops

The direction

This is the behavior
we're building toward.

A rover navigates to a collection point, accepts bagged waste, and transports it to a neighborhood zone station. No truck on the block. No driver at every door. Fewer stops.
