Tu-Can is a local, family-run service built to make life easier, one trash day at a time.
Like you, we’ve had our fair share of trash day disasters, those mornings when you hear the truck coming and sprint to the curb, hoping you’re not too late.
We’re Dan and Ryan, two busy dads from Northeast Ohio. Between raising our families and managing our day-to-day lives, we kept running into the same problem: trash day was easy to forget, and always a hassle to fix.
One missed pickup turned into two. Then came the overfilled bins, the awkward trash pileups, and the stress of trying to fit it all into next week’s collection. It wasn’t just frustrating; it was a problem that didn’t need to exist.
So we started Tu-Can a service designed to make trash day one less thing you have to think about.
