Why Trash & Recycling May Be the First to Go—And How PIN Plus Can Keep It Together

As federal tax reform under the Big Beautiful Bill begins to ripple through local and state budgets, municipalities are reevaluating what services they can afford to continue offering—and how.

A New Financial Reality for Cities

Across the country, cities are beginning to face a new financial reality—and one of the first departments feeling the pressure is Public Works, specifically trash and recycling services.

As federal tax reform under the Big Beautiful Bill begins to ripple through local and state budgets, municipalities are reevaluating what services they can afford to continue offering—and how.

For many communities, that means getting out of the trash business.

That’s Where PIN Plus Comes In

PIN Plus is the nation’s first Home Services Concierge—built to help cities and residents navigate this exact challenge.

Our platform groups neighbors together and matches them with trusted local trash and recycling providers, creating organized, efficient service models that operate independently of city funding.

How PIN Plus Helps Cities Let Go—Without Letting Down Residents

Neighborhood Coordination

We organize homes by geographic group or HOA to streamline vendor routes, reduce traffic, and cut costs.

Smooth Transitions

Cities can confidently refer residents to PIN Plus as a reliable solution when municipal service ends.

No City Burden

We handle all vendor relationships, billing, and customer service—no contract management or compliance needed from the city.

Recycling and Bulk Pickup Options

We work with cities that want to maintain sustainability goals by including optional recycling and bulk programs in community bundles.

A New Model for a Changing Budget

The Big Beautiful Bill is forcing tough conversations. But ending city-run trash doesn’t have to mean lower quality or higher resident frustration.

With PIN Plus, municipalities can offload the cost and complexity of trash and recycling without abandoning the people who depend on them.

Let your city focus on what it does best—and let PIN Plus take it from here.
