Simple as ordering a ride

How GreenUp Works

Three steps. No machine. No trip. Cash before your next cup of coffee.

01

Collect & Bag

Separate bottles, cans, and glass into bags. E-waste goes in a separate bag. 200 containers minimum to schedule — no sorting, no crushing, no labels.

Bags ready for pickup
02

Schedule Pickup

Open the app, snap a photo of your bags, pick a day and 2-hour window. Like ordering a ride — except we show up to take your recycling and hand you cash.

Get Paid

We arrive, count everything on the spot, and pay you 5¢ per container — cash or direct deposit. 2,000 cans = $100. Before we leave your door.

GreenUp founders with Fayez and truck
The team behind the truck

Built in Queens.
Running on every block.

GreenUp was started by two guys who saw NYC throwing away millions of dollars every week. The infrastructure is real — the truck, the facility, the team. Fayez and the drivers are on the road every day turning that waste into cash for their neighbors.

"It's so incredible people don't think it's real. But it is. If you got the bottles, we'll pick 'em up."
