How much do Bird scooter collectors make?
Bird pays from $5 to $20 per scooter per charge, depending on how difficult it is to locate it and how much juice it needs. In every Bird city, an army of freelance subcontractors is enlisted to collect e-scooters, starting at 9 p.m. (Lime has a similar model.)
