A new service industry has emerged in China, centered on the collection and disposal of household rubbish. Entrepreneurs are using social media platforms to offer pickup services, charging fees that typically range from three to five yuan (approximately 45 to 75 US cents) per visit. For those seeking regular assistance, monthly subscription packages are also available for around $15 USD.

This trend is frequently categorized under the 'lazy economy,' a term used to describe businesses that cater to consumers willing to pay for convenience to save time on daily chores. While the service is marketed toward busy professionals, it has also become a practical solution for elderly residents who may find the physical task of carrying heavy rubbish bags to collection points difficult. The growth of this market highlights a shift in urban consumer habits, where traditional household tasks are increasingly being outsourced to gig-economy workers. While the trend is gaining traction on social media, it remains a niche service that relies on local coordination and digital platform accessibility.
