Proof they have to send (photo)
  • No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur.
  • Photograph the filled bag and the stretch you cleared.
You pay$12

Where your $12 goes

  • Paid to the person who does the deed — the full amount, with nothing taken out$12

The price is set from a fair wage — about 25 minutes of real work, travel, and proof photos at our $18/hr floor — and the person keeps every dollar. Card processing and platform costs are on us, never taken from their pay.

Secure checkout. Payment runs through Stripe; your deed is funded and handed to the engine the moment it confirms. The engine then sources a verified local person under a strict spend cap.

You are paying a real person a fair wage to do a real good deed. It is a service, not a donation, so it is not tax-deductible.

What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an answer from the deed itself. The three they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?
Send photo of the result. Rules: No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur. Photograph the filled bag and the stretch you cleared.
How much do I get paid?
This deed pays $12 — the full listed amount, with nothing taken out of your payment. It's labor only, so you never buy anything or spend your own money. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?
No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
