How to play Curbside Hauler
Game guide
Curbside Hauler is a driving and business game. You drive the Route 9 garbage truck through town, empty bins before they overflow, and grow a small waste company with new districts, drivers and truck upgrades.
The goal
Keep every customer's bins emptied on time to earn cash and a good rating. Sign up every district in a town to move on to the next one. There are six themed towns, then an endless mode that gets harder each time.
How to play
- Drive the truck to a waiting bin.
- Pull alongside it and press Space to lift and empty it.
- Watch your load. When the hopper is full, drive to the transfer station to unload.
- Finish daily contracts and town goals to earn more money.
- Open the office to hire drivers, add districts and buy upgrades. Upgrades carry over to the next town.

Tips
- A bin that overflows can cost you a contract, so plan your route around the fullest bins.
- Unload before the hopper is completely full so you never have to skip a bin.
- Turn on autopilot (T) when you want to manage the business instead of driving.
- Use speed 2x or 3x to make quiet stretches go faster.
