Create a List

That might be the most important part.

Before you start decluttering your house, creating a checklist is important.

In this way, you will have a clear idea about items you need to keep and items no longer required in your house.

If you have a broken T.V, put it on the list.

If your broken oven needs a little repair and it can run smoothly for the next year, keep it.

Without a doubt, now you know clearly how you start the decluttering process

Put the Reuseable Items on a Garage Sale

Items for sale at Garage Sale

A garage sale is a fast and relatively easy way to get rid of reusable items like furniture, electronics, old toys, console games, books, hot tub, trampoline, and others.

This is the best way as you can earn money on your unwanted items and save a budget to buy a new one.

If you have kids you can encourage them to put the old toys that they no longer play with, put on sale.

It will be a fun activity for them. They will enjoy making some money.

It could be a memorable activity for your family as well.

Recycle Unsold Items

If provided with proper resources, almost everything is recyclable including plastic.

Yes, many forms of plastic are recyclable including PET, HDPE, PVC, and more. 

You can check out more about it here. 

Beer, Soda cans, and glass jars are fully recyclable leaving no traces.

That’s really good to know that Americans are doing their part and recycling what is recyclable.

But still, only half of Americans have the access to a recycling facility.

In addition to this, only 72% of those having such facility take the responsibility and recycle.

 

Here's the list of What Can Be Recycled

Old washing machine recycle

Refrigerator and Ovens

Refrigerators and ovens have an excellent sales value.

Selling or Donating can be a good idea.

You can simply drop them off at a nearby recycling facility or donation camp.

Washers and Dryers

First, contact the company from whom you bought the product. Chances are that they do recycle them as well.

You can also recycle these at a local scrap yard or call pick-up services.

Paint and Aerosol Cans

Except for oil paint, all others are considered hazardous including aerosol cans, and can’t be recycled.

First, you’ve to empty the can before throwing them out before recycling.

You can use the remaining paint on metal bodies to prevent corrosion.

Car Batteries and Fluids

just like paints, car fluids like transmission fluid, engine coolant, and engine oil are toxic to the environment.

But you can still send them to a recycling facility as they how to deal with it.

Car batteries are highly explosive and toxic, but it doesn’t mean that they are not recyclable.

They are high in demand and go hand in hand when sold in good condition.

Cell Phone and Tablets

There are local donation centers that accept old phones and electronics.

Companies like Apple, and Verizon give you in-store credit when you trade your old device.

We would appreciate you to donate your unused shoes to One World Running.  

They collect, wash and donate your shoes to developing countries so they could also catch the speed of developed countries!

Furthermore, if you have other items that you believe can benefit others, then you can donate them to local shelters and charities like Salvation Army.

  1.  Plan Your Business
  2.  Register Your Organization as a Business Entity
  3.  Start with 1 Truck
  4.  Get Projects from various platforms
  5.  Plan for Marketing
  6.  Minimize Cost of Operation
  7.  Expand Your Business

Plan Your Business

A clear plan is essential for success.

Assess the Market and Competitors.

Look for major players who are already serving in your desired area.

Figure out their weaknesses, like either, they serve residential or commercial entities.

And then go for the service that others lack.

If there is already a dominant player in the market, assess why they are dominant.

What makes them a trustworthy and first choice for customers.

Since bigger companies have a high cost of operation, you can charge your customers less for the same service.

Provide lesser response time with guaranteed satisfaction.

Another choice you can have is either to start a franchise or work independently.

A lot of bigger junk removal service chains have franchise programs.

This will make it easy for you to grab a job.

But the profit margin will be divided on the basis of their policy.

However, if you run an individual business.

All the profit will go into your pocket but being a new business you will have to do a lot of hard work that is definitely worth it in the end.

Creating a RoadMap is real important here as you’re investing your money and time.

Start by explaining and objecting to what exactly your business will do.

Either you will serve Dumpster rental service or Junk Removal Service.

What locations you’re going to target.

Your Pricing Strategy.

Labor force and any contract that you want to sign like Insurance.

Register Your Organization as a Business Entity

Now when you’ve finally decided how you are going to start your business.

You should legalize your business.

Consult your lawyer

Establish a legal entity to avoid lawsuits and losing your all money.

You can form an LLC by yourself or hire one.

Register yourself for taxes and avoid future complications.

Usually taxes for small business are very low here in USA.

Start with 1 Truck

Junk removal truck

You don’t need to buy or rent out a fleet of trucks but just 1 truck can work well.

That’s true. I’ve seen a bunch of junk removal businesses who started with just 1 truck and now have 50+ employees on board.

The best specs for a truck are:

Box size has to be 12 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5 feet in height.

Almost every junk removal business owner prefer ISUZU NPR.

After 6 months increment, 1 more truck and a year later get another one.

Don’t burden yourself with expenses along the journey.

Get Projects from Various Platforms

Facebook Groups, Craigslist, LinkedIn, eBay, and various others go hand in hand when it comes to growing new businesses.

You may wish to advertise you’re business but being low on cash is a major barrier for you.

Luckily, there are Facebook groups reserved for junk removal service discussion.

You can learn a lot from other professionals.

Craigslist is something that every American knows and has used once in a while.

You can certainly try eBay and search for people who need your service.

At this point you should consider making long-term relationships with your clients.

It will help you a lot in the future.

Plan for Marketing

Now when you’ve served a couple of customers and know the ins and out of this business.

It’s time for marketing!

Here is how to do:

You can also wrap your truck into your business logo theme so people know about your business from a distance.

Put Magnetic stickers on the truck as well.

Minimize Cost of Operation

This one should be on top according to the order, it comes down here.

It is really important to manage your finances.

For example, on average the expenses are roughly 41% of the income.

If you’re earning $350 for a job the expenses will be $143.50 leaving you with a profit of $206.5.

Underestimating your expense might lead you to bankruptcy.

Expand Your Business

This means what it says.

While moving on you should not stop at one point but expand your business.

Hire more employees, buy bigger trucks, spend more on the advertisement and get more types of equipment to make it easy for your employees.

You should also consider increasing the radius of servicing areas as well.

As there is a very low barrier to this industry, this industry is booming greatly and has grown to $51.7 Billion.

There is definitely a golden opputunity for your business as well.

Reading this blog post means that you’re probably looking for junk removal or dumpster rental service.

And you want to know how much will it cost you.

Home renovation, construction, commercial waste, is a day-to-day hassle that one wants to get rid of as it occupies a lot of space and affects the productivity and beauty of one’s property.

Given this, it is really important to get rid of it as soon as possible.

At this point, you might be wondering how to take it off as it is pretty huge in quantity and you can’t do it all alone!

Junk Removal Service or Dumpster Rental?

When you rent a dumpster on a weekly or monthly contract and fill it at your own pace, it’s called Dumpster Rental.

On the other hand, with junk removal service you don’t need to grab those heavy items by yourself and move it across stairs.

The junk haulers do this job for you.

Obviously, it costs more than the dumpster rental service, but how much?

You can get a free estimate by clicking here.

Junk Removal Service Cost

Well, it is pretty hard to quote a junk removal service’s cost without evaluating the volume of the junk and the distance from your location to the nearest dumpster.

Volume means the amount of space it will occupy in the truck.

And distance means how far the nearest recycling station or a dumpster is.

For example, the price for removing junk from a house located in Downey would be different from the price of removing junk from a house located in Culver city despite the fact that the volume of the junk is the same.

The reason is simple, gas prices, permit requirement, and the distance from the nearest dumpster.

The same applies to the volume of the junk.

Similarly, if there are two houses located side by side; the cost for removing junk will be evaluated on the amount of space each resident’s junk will take in the truck.

Almost every junk haulers charge their customers on the basis of volume not weight.

In addition to this, the prices also vary from season to season and local disposal fee (if there is any).

it should also be remembered that most junk haulers in the USA don’t pick up any hazardous material like Chemicals, Aerosol cans, Cathode ray tubes, and lead-based paint. 

So if you’re up to that stuff you might be prepared to take it off by yourself or pay extra.

Wrapping things up if need a junk hauling service and make a clear-cut decision then don’t worry.
