Idea

Litter Getter is a company focused on revolutionizing roadside and beach litter removal. Founded by Jamey Whitman, the Company aims to introduce an innovative, cost-effective, and efficient machine designed to clean large areas faster than traditional methods. The product targets municipalities, waste management companies, and beach-cleaning organizations across the United States, offering a solution that reduces reliance on manual labor while increasing productivity and cost savings. By addressing a significant gap in the current market, Litter Getter seeks to become the preferred choice for large-scale litter collection.

Challenge

Litter Getter is addressing major inefficiencies in the current litter removal industry, which relies heavily on manual collection and outdated equipment. The market faces high costs, slow cleanup processes, and limited machine versatility. Existing solutions, like the Barber Litter Picker, are expensive, require specialized tractors, and cannot cover large areas efficiently. Litter Getter overcomes these obstacles by providing a more affordable, versatile, and scalable solution, capable of reducing cleanup costs by up to 85% while increasing coverage, speed, and operational flexibility.

Solution

Litter Getter is developing a roadside litter machine equipped with a collection brush, a conveyor belt transporting debris to a 4-cubic-yard hopper, and a self-generating electric system to ensure continuous operation. Designed to attach easily to a variety of vehicles with a 2" ball hitch, including John Deere side-by-sides, the machine allows independent speed control of the brush and conveyor for optimal efficiency. With cleaning paths up to 8 feet wide and the ability to tow at highway speeds, Litter Getter machines drastically reduce the time and labor required for litter removal, making the process faster, safer, and more economical.

Litter Getter Joins EquityPilot to Scale Solar-Powered Litter Harvester

Litter Getter Joins EquityPilot to Scale Solar-Powered Litter Harvester

Austin, United States & Dubai, UAE — Feb 14, 2026

Roadside and beach litter removal represent a persistent environmental and municipal budget challenge. The global litter-management market is estimated at $11.5 billion annually, while ancillary beach-cleaning activity and other segments represent substantial, growing expenditures. High capital costs and limited machine flexibility have kept many effective mechanical solutions out of widespread use, forcing much collection to remain manual and costly.

What the Startup Delivers? 

Litter Getter, founded by inventor Jamey Whitman, is developing a lightweight, solar-capable litter-collection machine engineered to attach to any vehicle with a 2” ball hitch. Designed to reduce capital and operating costs versus existing tractor-mounted equipment, the system aims to: - Operate without trailering to job sites, - Reduce purchase and deployment cost relative to heavy tractor-based systems, - Increase daily coverage and collection rates versus hand-picking and heavier machines.

Why Now? 

Municipal and private waste contractors are seeking more affordable, adaptable solutions as cleanup budgets tighten and labor efficiencies become critical. Advances in lightweight materials, solar auxiliary power, and modular design make a lower-cost, widely compatible machine commercially feasible today.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Under FasterCapital’s EquityPilot, Litter Getter will focus on: - Finalizing specifications and funding allocation for a working prototype, - Preparing utility-patent filings and regulatory checklists, - Building a testing plan with target proof-of-concept metrics (field coverage, collection rates, and energy performance), - Refining go-to-market positioning for Department of Transportation, large waste contractors, and municipal procurement teams.

Proof Points

Founder research cites existing machines that are costly and heavy to deploy. Whitman’s concept prioritizes universal tow compatibility and solar-assisted operation to reduce fuel use and increase field time. The team projects substantial efficiency gains compared with hand collection and heavier tractor-mounted harvesters; these claims will be validated in prototype testing and pilot demonstrations coordinated through EquityPilot.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Litter Getter  through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Founder background

Jamey Whitman conceived the design after direct field observation of litter pickup workflows and the limitations of heavy tractor-mounted machines. The founder’s approach emphasizes practical retrofitting, ease of use, and affordability to enable rapid adoption by municipalities and contractors.

Ecosystem relevance

EquityPilot will connect the startup with procurement specialists, pilot partners in state DOTs and private waste firms, and IP support to accelerate prototype-to-pilot timelines while validating technical and commercial assumptions.

Next 90 Days

- Prototype specification complete and supplier engagements initiated, - Utility patent application prepared and filed, - Initial pilot agreements and test sites scoped with municipal and private partners, - Investor and crowdfunding materials prepared for a seed round.
