How to Start a Trash Pickup Business
No matter where people live or work, no matter who they are, they do generate trash daily.
Considering the sizes of cities these days and the large populations there, tones of trash get generated everyday.
Because of this volume, smart entrepreneurs easily find an avenue to do business and many are doing good business and making good money on trash collection and disposal.
Keeping our homes, offices and streets clean are usually exercises which local councils place a very high health premium on.
What that means is that even if we as people are unwilling to clean up our environments, government statutes always compel us to do so.
Starting a trash pickup business is a very good business to do particularly if you live in places which are heavily populated.
How to get started: The first thing you need is to get registered with local government authorities as a trash collector.
Next is to register with a government approved dump site.
With these permits in hand you now need a truck for the business.
You will have to find an officially sanctioned truck in a very good working condition.
You can lease the vehicle or have it purchased outright depending on your financial capabilities.
Make sure it has all the required city permits and registered in all departments of the city as required by law.
If you are driving the vehicle yourself, make sure you have a license to drive that kind of vehicle.
How to get patronage: This is the tricky part because you will now have to deal with people who in most cases are perfect strangers.
Choose a precinct or an area you believe you can conveniently cover within the city.
Print hand bills announcing your type of business and distribute them very widely in your chosen precinct.
On the bills, make sure you draw people's attention to the law requiring proper disposal of trash.
Offer your services to them with convenience and affordability as your two major selling points.
Make sure your contact information on the hand bills is up to date and effective.
Success tips: Intrude as minimal as convenient in the homes and private lives of your customers.
Encourage the use of trash cans outside homes and offices for easy pick up and disposal.
Make your bills collection very smooth and very convenient for your customers.
Make your trash collection rounds very frequent and very regular.
If convenient, you can occasionally arrange to collect information from your customers as some form of regular feedback to find ways to serve them better.
Occasionally, you can find ways no matter how token to show appreciation to your customers for their continued patronage.
The business of trash collection is a very good business and the amount of money you can make depends largely on the size of the area you cover and the rates you charge.
At times and in some local councils, the rates may even the regulated by statutes.
In such cases, the amount of money you make depends largely on the size of the area you cover.
