If you pick up litter in a residential area, it is best to do it during the day when the people are at work. If you are picking up litter in a business area, you are better off doing it at night when the cars are parked at the people's home.
I drive by this vacant office property across the street from a shopping center daily. The receipts and bags and other trash blow across the road and make the office building (3 stories) look terrible. I'm going to call the realtor and ask if they need help cleaning exterior. I was going to just volunteer, but hey, what a great interview and idea.
@@NickLoper Yes sir. I was eager to clean up the back end of the school grounds because it's my favorite place to let my dogs roam and run after hours and the litter was an eyesore. The 100 dollar bill in tall grass was luck. I wonder what other surprises are waiting to be found in cleanup sites.
I just ordered the book. I have a really good feeling about this endeavor and the fact that you can speak one on one with the man who wrote it, is very cool.
How would I start this up tho? What steps would I need to be considered a legitimate business or do I not need to set up legally until I get to a certain amount of business???
We just launched our company Pristine Litter Removal, in Columbus, OH. I was wondering other than property managers in the yellow pages, are there other critical leads we could reach out to?
I e been thinking about this idea and seeing that others do it is cool. I work at this community that really is trashy and honestly a littered up neighborhood drives property value down and the residents moods too. I wonder who to call for I guess city clean up like this? Wish me luck!
Keep us posted! If it’s commercial property, typically the landlord or property management company. For city property, maybe the parks or maintenance department?
It sounds like the guest was literally walking the property, back and forth as if he were picking up trash, and timing himself. Then charging an hourly rate on a monthly basis.
@@NickLoper purely selfish. I pick up trash cause I'm sick of looking at it. (Hate face) but because now there's millions crossing the border and millions more living in there cars .. I'm picking up household trash and feces every day.
*not legal advice* By default, you can start out as a sole proprietor to test the waters and see how it works to get customers. You can run this under your own name or a fictitious business name (dba-“doing business as”). Income will pass through to your personal tax return on schedule C. To be official, you can register with your Secretary of State, or create an LLC, but I’d only go through that paperwork filing process after having validated the idea.
Possibly, but it may be a more complicated way to invoice. The litter pickup owners I’ve talked to all charge weekly/monthly. But I did pay my kids a penny a leaf to help me clean up the yard :)

What ever happened with this?

how'd it go?
He is right, you find lost things. I found a $100 bill while picking up litter on high school grounds.
Wow!

Cheers!

I will try to make a trash-picking business, thank you.
If you work a location the day before trash pickup, they'll have a clean lot and empty dumpster the same day.
True!!

u figure out who to call?
He was asked twice what price he charged and he smoothly evaded the question
Ok then.... how much do *_you_* charge for your services?
@@BJ-xm6bi depends on several factors like which one are looking for ?
@@UlyseesTheGreat any
Hi Nick! I've been looking around and thought perhaps your guest speaker would know. How much money per square foot/yard/acre does he charge?
It sounds like the guest was literally walking the property, back and forth as if he were picking up trash, and timing himself. Then charging an hourly rate on a monthly basis.
All litter is trash, but the trash that is lying where it is not suppose to be (i.e., the ground), then it is litter.
Makes sense to me 👍
Thank you for this video.
I have been picking up litter for free! Silly me!
Appreciate you helping keep our planet clean, but yeah, apparently there’s a business angle too!

How do you actually get started though do you have to register as a small business owner or do you just get payed under the table??
*not legal advice* By default, you can start out as a sole proprietor to test the waters and see how it works to get customers.

I will add this segmentation to my cleaning portfolio.
Where is the video?
It’s a podcast, strictly audio posted to UA-cam. You have to show some king of image to publish it.
How do i propose my liter company to a city?
I'd probably start with the maintenance department and see where you get.
Where can I buy a special litter scoop?
I think Brian recommends Litter Licker Supplies.
Picking up Litter by the piece at$1.00 each could be profitable?
Possibly, but it may be a more complicated way to invoice. The litter pickup owners I’ve talked to all charge weekly/monthly.
But I did pay my kids a penny a leaf to help me clean up the yard :)
Far, far too many ads. Too many interruptions, not worth sitting through them.
Never start with advertising
