A reliable neighbor kid is a great deal — right up until baseball season, finals, or a 112° afternoon when they ghost you and the yard backs up. A service costs a little more but it actually happens every week, you get photo proof, and the whole yard gets scanned, not just the obvious piles. If you've got a dependable kid, keep them. If you're tired of nagging, that's what the route is for.
