While Waterloo Region’s new garbage collection service got underway earlier this month, it opened the door to an opportunity for some elementary-aged kids in Breslau. 

Hudson Aitken, 12, and Harper Aitken, 10, have created a new business, dubbed Breslau Bin Assist, to help get the new big carts to the end of the driveway, offering their services to the likes of seniors, busy families, or those going on vacation. 

They wanted to just “try to help somebody out here and there,” Hudson said.
