The story
CanMonkey launched as a simple on-demand can-to-curb trash service for homeowners, drawing on the gig-economy playbook of Uber and DoorDash. It rapidly expanded to 25 states and layered in property-manager and vacation-rental segments. On the worker side, it introduced Branch-powered instant pay and free debit cards for its CanRunner contractor network, embedding earned-wage access directly into its gig-worker product. The company is now pursuing community-round crowdfunding to accelerate its geographic rollout.
