CURBWISE

Curbwise began as a simple neighborhood observation. No big plan. No investors. Just daily walks with Milo through the streets of Travis Heights, noticing trash bins left out for days after pickup—sometimes because folks were traveling, sometimes because life got busy, and sometimes because the house sat empty like a signal to the street. What emerged was a straightforward service: neighbors helping neighbors by rolling your trash, recycling, and yard bins to the curb the evening before collection and bringing them back afterward. Reliability meets community. One small task meets a cared-for block.

It wasn’t launched to scale fast or chase trends. It was launched to make a street feel lived-in and looked-after again. What started as an idea on those Travis Heights sidewalks has become a weekly service, a growing local operation, and maybe a quiet little business. If you want to call it that. The first routes are rolling in Travis Heights, with more neighborhoods on the horizon. The rest is unknown.

That’s the good part.
