    How to Play

    One shift, three jobs

    1

    Run the route

    Every house on the map puts out trash. Tap a street to drive there, or use the arrows. Open the Map to see every pickup still waiting and tap where to go. The pointer always shows your next job.

    2

    Fill and dump

    The truck holds 10 loads. A bin uses 1 space and bulk trash uses 3. When it’s full, drive to the landfill at the dead end and unload.

    3

    Finish your tasks

    The checklist shows what’s left on the route. Pick up everything and empty the truck to finish it. The next route is bigger and faster.

    On the Road

    Watch out for these

    The neighborhood gets busier with every route. Streets close, animals wander out and the truck speeds up.

    Kids at play

    They dart into the street. Slow down and steer around them.

    Loose dogs

    They run out from yards without warning.

    Cats

    Small, quick and hard to spot. Keep your eyes on the road.

    Deer Route 2+

    They wander across the road and sometimes stop in your way.

    Bears Route 3+

    Big and slow. Bump one and it stays in the road.

    Road work

    Coned-off blocks close the street. The truck finds another way.

    Delivery vans

    A parked van blocks the street for a while.

    School bus Route 3+

    A stopped bus closes the block until it moves on.

    Truck fire

    Sometimes the truck catches fire. Drive to the nearest hydrant before it costs you a shield.

    FAQ

    Questions from drivers

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    Yes, it's free, and you don't need an account. Just type a name when you want to save a score.

    Does it work on my phone?

    Yes. Tap any street and the truck drives there. You can also use the steering buttons on the screen, or open the Map to tap a destination.

    Can I switch between 3D and the classic view?

    Yes. Choose 3D or Classic on the start screen. Devices that can't show 3D graphics use the classic view automatically.

    Why didn't my score save?

    Each game can be saved once. Names must be 2 to 16 letters or numbers and family-friendly. Names that are offensive or mention the company are not accepted. Very short games and scores that aren't possible are not accepted either.

    When does the weekly board reset?

    This Week shows the best scores from the last 7 days, so it changes every day. All Time keeps the top scores ever.

    Can I turn the sound off?

    Yes. Use the speaker button in the top-right corner of the game.
