So happy for you! Literal blood, sweat, and tears has paid off for you. I live in Syracuse, and have worked outside for 30 years, so I am more than familiar with the "elements" you have to endure. Put some anti-skid self adhesive sand paper on the metal step and landing of the bed to stay safe from slipping and doing a number on yourself/employee. Congrats!!
Hey Man, Dakota from Colorado here! Stoked to see your new rig!!! Thanks for the awesome content. Crazy you got 300 subscribers since you released this video last week. Keep it up!
I’d love to see an update on the truck. How did it change since you first set it up? How has the truck held up? Did you put skid plates/armor underneath the truck? I know Isuzu’s are famous for having a really low transmission line that loves to get snagged on everything and rip out. Essentially making the truck a paper weight once that happens. It needs to get towed to a shop to get fixed.
Nice Rig and Set Up! Thank you, for posting great informative content. I am in the gaining knowledge step, hoping to start my own business in my area.👍
Are you ever worried about the trash coming out the back while driving? I can have a few loose pieces of trash in one of my rolloff dumpsters and if it’s not trapped it’ll be on the road in a quickness. Do you just not fill over the door line? I’ve entered the residential trash service and just looking for some insight.
There is, but customer service means the world in this industry, we offer services they don’t and are a 1 stop shop junk removal , dumpsters and weekly pickup
Great videos! I’ve watched quite a few. Do you have any videos that speak to how you grew the residential trash customers from the original you started with when you bought the business?
With the last truck and dump trailer you built up you said you could do almost 180 residential pickups. How much do you have to pay dump to dump 180 residential pickups worth of trash on average?
how would i know or find out if dumpster rental would be marketable in my area? not very often do you see dumpsters in my area. I dont think there is anyone around here within 25 miles that rents them out so all the ones that are around come from bigger areas, mainly out of state. the two biggest towns in my county both have a lot of rental properties within them, but the municipalities handle the trash. even the rentals when people move loads of trash gets put to the curb. the town may charge them extra if its a whole lot but most of the time not. I seriously think that enough people either do junk removal themselves or know somoene that does it with their truck. no one that i know of openly does it as a side hustle. I would really like to get a dump trailer to rent out as a dumpster and to use for my own work but for one, i only have a half ton truck, and two, i dont know if there is enough market for material deliveries (dirt, mulch, rock, ect), and espicailly dont know if there is enough market for dumpsters. I have considered within the next 2-3 years expanding my mowing business into the bigger areas 40 minutes or so away from here which may help everything in that regard. expanding my business and what type of equipment to get is something ive been thinking about for the last 3 years. so much so it gives me a headache at times lol. I am not the greatest with advertising. i have a facebook but im new to it and dont know how to use it. i do have craigslist. ive not looked much into google yet sorry for such a long comment lol
Thank you for your comment! All valid points, I do think you could get some value out of a dump trailer and keep it busy just through word of mouth after a couple of months. Maybe buy it to assist the landscaping business at first but openly talk about expanding your services to junk removal with your current customer base. An existing customer is always cheaper to acquire than a new one!
@Hazardra Lawn Care hey bro, I'm looking at getting into this business as well. Great minds think alike 😏 Also I got into junk removal, have done a few and love them. I've got the biggest one yet to do tomorrow. I'm looking at getting a dump trailer if I can get more junk removals and need for a dumpster rental to help make up the price of the dump trailer
@@JonsDailyHustle i think youre just stalking me... LOL jk bro. ive been looking at aluminum dump trailers lately. with my half ton truck, one of those would be great for me. i found one from a manufacturer in canada: 6x12 i think 2 foot sides and 2 3500lbs axles and only weighs 1400lbs. a similar steel trailer at my local trailer dealer weighs 3100lbs. the biggest dilemma i NOW have is i think such a trailer is going to cost around $9-13k. which is double if not a little more than the price of a steel one. i may still go for it if i finance it but at that price, i may go for a subcompact TLB or new mower with attachments.. either of those options will run me roughly $25k though, but i can do so many more services with them. idk ive had a 3 year long headache thinking about this stuff man lmao
@@BioHazardra looks like me and you are going in the same direction. Eventually I'm gonna dip into some grading work and see how I like it, and maybe even get out of the mowing business 🤷♂️. After I get a dump trailer, my truck gets upgraded next and then I'll start getting into that kind of work most likely. I just went last week and priced out my dump trailer. I won't buy it yet until I know for sure I can make more money a month then it's finance price is. Cuz I don't have 9k just laying around lol. There's been alot on my mind the last few weeks trying to plan and figure stuff out and figure out where my company is gonna go 🤦♂️
@@JonsDailyHustle that is my biggest problem is knowing if there is a market for dumpsters and junk removal. ive done very little junk removal and there is like.. no one local that rents dumpsters. i think that the dump trailer route will bring in money, but ill be limited due to my truck. when it comes to trucks i want a newer one or a BIGGER one (like 2 ton) so bad, i want to save my money. but i cant grow without stepping up at least a little. idk ill figure it out. plus working full time and doing this, ive been slammed this season with 25 properties (some are once a month or on call. those are just trimming really) so idk just how much more i can take on really
I have all gas too.. 2017 Ram 2500 5.7 2018 Ram 2500 6.4 2016 Ram 4500 6.4 The truth is the newer gas Rams can get the jobs done. Edit: The 5.7 barely gets it done. I would go with the 6.4s.
How many accounts do you dump at a time and whats an average weight for that many accounts? I am trying to figure out how low I can charge for residential and remain profitable
We try to dump 65 -80 at a time and it all depends on the weather rain and snow cost more than nice sunny weather. Best thing to do is call around to see what your friends are paying and base it from there.
Oh wow thats great news I assumed 100 lbs per can and would be profitable $12 less than the competition so I could go cheaper if its typically less than 100 lbs

I dont understant how he makes money when the going price in my area for trash removal is about 3-4$ per week/load its costs about 1-1.50 $ per container after all costs???
All areas differ...disposal fees, insurances, garbage is definitely a volume game. $3/week or $12/month that is super cheap....I've never heard of rates that low personally but the disposal fees could be $0 maybe.
@@lakechamplainsanitation7226 yes thats what i pay in our area 175$ for the year for 1 container once a week recycling twice a month is free highest going price is 70$ every 3 months on our area even then it seems likes there is no profit im from northern indiana it cost 40$ a ton to dump
I've answered this question so many times now lol.....in time if I decide to grow the residential side to thousands of customers I would, but I want to offer multiple services to our current customers such as dumpsters, junk cleanouts, and eventually landscaping and be a 1 stop shop for them.

Correct we don’t fill it above a certain point but with the box having a roof and completely enclosed not much wind gets in to blow stuff out
Awesome truck! Why not put a tipper on the back of the truck to make emptying cans with loose materials faster?
Love the idea, but dumping I think it would get in the way....
Love these videos man. I have been interested in the waste industry but everyone tells me college college college😂 keep up the hard work man!
Thank you!
How many homes do you service in that before going to the dump?
Is that just recycling dump box. Or are you putting Trash in there and the split sections for recycling
It will be meant for everything and split up for each.
Congrats you represent the American dream
A dream come true
How much recyclables can you fit in the from pockets? They don’t seem very big.
I'm curious who you market to. Is there no public trash removal in the area ?
There is, but customer service means the world in this industry, we offer services they don’t and are a 1 stop shop junk removal , dumpsters and weekly pickup

Nice rig! How do you charge for the trash cans. Looking into getting into it here on the islands.
The carts are part of the program now, typically worth a few extra bucks a month on top of service charge vs. someone who doesn't provide them
With the last truck and dump trailer you built up you said you could do almost 180 residential pickups. How much do you have to pay dump to dump 180 residential pickups worth of trash on average?
We are roughly $100-120 load and it fits 80-85 per load
What's a Packer just a regular garbage truck rear louder or side arm loader Scoops it up and pulls it's from the back and compresses it to the front
Do you need dot numbers for your set up
Yes
How many houses and you fit in the new truck?
Usually 70-80
Is the truck for sale
Nice video
What's the height and width of the box?
6’ interior and 8 wide
I would have slapped a lift gate on her but looks good
Thank you !
Can you use it as a box truck?
Could but after trash has been in it....I don't think so lol
Some big companies in my city are charging 22 bucks a month for residential once a week pick up. Impossible for a small guy to compete with them
Still in business
