# YardWasteDispatch — full briefing

AI-powered yard waste removal dispatch. Mabel answers, captures the stop count, the access notes, and the window the customer was promised, and books a local company.

Mabel answers yard-waste calls. She records the stop count, whether a trailer can reach the curb, the mix of bags and limbs, and the day already promised. A local hauler calls back and loads the trailer. Mabel does not haul.

A typical curb stop is about 25 minutes once the trailer can sit at the street. The stops tool multiplies stop count by minutes on site. A blocked driveway means rebook that stop before adding more.

Lite is $99 per month, 1 seat, with the company's own phones. Local requests start after the plan is paid. A request goes to one company inside the radius. The company can pass any request. The street address shows after the claim.

### What to have ready when you book yard waste removal (2026-03-12)
The useful facts on a yard-waste call are the stop count, whether a trailer can sit at the curb, and the day already promised.
Mabel does not guess the pile. She asks how many stops are on the run, whether the trailer can reach the curb, and the window the customer was already given. Those notes are what the hauler sees before calling back.
A missed window or a blocked driveway means that stop is rebooked before another pile is added. The yard-waste stops tool uses the same two numbers, so the board matches the call.
Have the street address, a gate width if the pile is behind a fence, and a photo of the load if the customer has one. Limbs and bagged leaves on one curb are one stop. A second address is a second stop.

### How long a limb-and-bag curb stop actually takes (2026-04-02)
A typical curb stop runs about 25 minutes once the trailer can sit at the street, including the walk from the pile to the hitch.
Twenty-five minutes is the planning number when the load is cut limbs plus bagged leaves and the trailer can park at the curb. That count includes walking the pile, stacking, and tying down. It does not include a second driveway on the same street.
If the crew has to carry brush more than a short walk, add minutes on that stop before promising the rest of the route. The stops tool multiplies stop count by minutes on site so a six-stop morning is not booked as a two-hour window.
Haulers who already know their own minutes should give Mabel that number. She records it. She does not replace the crew’s judgment on a steep lot or a wet pile.

### Gate width and trailer access before you promise a window (2026-04-18)
A promised window is only useful if the trailer can reach the pile. Gate width and a blocked curb are captured before the hauler is offered the job.
Many missed pickups start as a yes on the phone and a no at the curb: a closed gate, a car in the apron, or a pile on the far side of a fence the trailer cannot enter.
Mabel asks whether the trailer can sit at the street and notes any gate the crew must pass. If the answer is no, the stop is marked for a callback instead of being stacked onto a tight route.
The local hauler still decides whether to take the job. The note exists so they are not hearing about the gate for the first time in the driveway.

### Storm piles versus a weekly leaf route (2026-05-06)
A storm pile is a one-time load with a promised day. A leaf route is a repeating set of curb stops. They should not share the same window.
After a windstorm, one address can hold a trailer by itself. Treating that pile as a five-minute leaf stop is how a route slips past the day that was promised.
Weekly bag routes are the opposite: many short stops, each one a curb and a count of bags. Mabel separates the two on the call so the hauler sees which kind of work they are being offered.
If the customer describes both a storm pile and the regular bags, count them as the job they actually are. Mixed loads still use the same minutes field once the crew knows the walk.

### What a hauler needs before calling the customer back (2026-05-21)
The callback is useful when it carries the stop count, the access note, and the day already promised — not a vague request for a yard cleanup.
The caller is told a local company will call them back. That company loads the limbs. Mabel does not. The callback fails when the only note is a name and a neighborhood.
The hauler should see how many stops, what is in the load, whether the trailer fits, and which day was already said out loud. Those four lines are enough to accept, pass, or ask one more question.
Street address appears after the request is claimed. Until then the offer stays inside the radius the company set, one company at a time.

### Bagged leaves, loose brush, and mixed piles (2026-06-09)
Bagged leaves, loose brush, and a mix of both change the minutes on site. The call should name the mix before a window is held.
Bags are a count. Loose brush is a volume and a walk. A mix is both, and it is slower when the crew has to sort what the city will not take at the transfer station.
Mabel asks what is waiting: bags, limbs, or both. She does not quote a disposal fee. The hauler does that on the callback, using the note from the first call.
If the pile includes something that is not yard waste — lumber, fencing, or household junk — say so on the call. That stop may belong to a different trade, and passing it is cleaner than arriving with the wrong trailer.

### When a blocked driveway should be rebooked (2026-06-28)
A blocked driveway or a missed window means rebook that stop before adding more. Leaving it on the route steals time from the next curb.
The planning rule is simple: if the crew cannot work the stop, it comes off the board before the next address is promised. A car in the apron is not a five-minute delay. It is a return trip.
Mabel records the access problem and tells the caller a local company will call back. She does not keep the original window as if the curb were clear.
Haulers on the $99 plan can pass the request. The next company in range is offered it. The street address stays hidden until someone claims the job.

### How the $99 Lite plan handles yard-waste requests (2026-07-15)
Lite is $99 a month, one seat, with your own phones. Local yard-waste requests start after the plan is paid, and you can pass any request.
The plan includes an AI phone on your account. There is no per-request fee. Requests are offered only inside the radius you set, to one paid company at a time.
You can pass any request. If you pass, or the window expires, the next nearest company is offered it. The street address shows after you claim.
Signup stays on DispatchNode and is already set to yard waste. A trial can set the address and radius first. Local requests turn on after the $99 plan is paid.
