Brother. First of all. Appreciate you for your honesty and value. I just came across your channel/video and I subscribed straight away. Amazing how the algorithm works because I just started to learn Junk Removal and been watching videos alot. Anyway thanks again brother. I learned a lot from this video. God bless you✊🏽🙏🏽💯
Fantastic information keep it up man you will make it im just starting my junk removal service this year and its rough sometimes do you have a set pricing chart you based off of at the start?
Yep that’s about what I pay. I use what everyone uses I buy from UZMarketing.com. I have double sided signs it cost me about $350 for 100. If you get smaller signs and don’t do a front and back design you can save money as well.
How do you handle the dumping at the landfill do you have to register ur company with them in order to dump how many times and what ever “junk” you get , where i live the landfill in my area only allowed me to dump “demolition” stuff once a year which is crazy to me so den i got to think den how these commercial guys do it. So itll be helpful if you have any knowledge thanks
So from what I’ve gathered most cities/areas have dumps that are open to the public. This is how the dumps in my area operate and I don’t have to register at all, I just pay a fee every time I dump based off weight typically. However, some places like the area you’re in do have some weird rules. But it’s not too uncommon. You just have to jump through more hoops and have a more legit company to register with the dumps. You’ll probably have to see what is required of you, they may have a vendor packet. (May possibly need to show insurance, a Dot number, etc). This seems bad but I’d imagine because of these rules there isn’t too much competition. So there’s great potential. The commercial guys are definitely registered with the landfills. In fact even the landfills near me have an option to register. This just allows you to not wait in line with everyone else and I see the big corporations driving past the lines all the time near me. Sounds like the specific landfill you’re talking about may just be weird but if the commercial guys are in your area and dumping it’s definitely possible.
Typically I always take the money as soon as the job is done. I use a little handheld card reader yes. If it’s a no contact pick up I send them a payment link and ask that they pay it before the end of the day. If it’s a commercial job for a company I wait for a check or deposit.
@@traviswilson3251 o thanks I own a little lawnservice and I'm about to dive into this but getting stiffed for money kills the vibe to say the least so I think I'll do the same as you
Who did you use as a web designer/ developer? I looked at mighty sites, but they appear to be generic and have a cheesy site and photos but definitely the cheapest.
Where I live there's no where to dump electronics, dumps don't seem to take them, is this a problem in your area? What do you do with them? Or do you not take them?
I don’t have too much advice on this one. The dumps near me take e waste, the scrap yards take e waste as well near me. There’s even dedicated e-waste recycling places here. At the end of the day If there’s nowhere to take it, I wouldn’t take it. But you may be able to recycle, donate, etc, those items. So it’s just a call depending on what you decide. Take it and charge an extra fee for the difficulty to dispose of it, don’t take it, take with no fee. It’s just a decision that’s up to you. I’m sure you probably have but I would just keep calling till you find a place, then decide.
@@traviswilson3251 I figured I found a guy that extends trailer walls with steel and probably gonna get a 6 x 12 with 2 foot walls then have him put on another like 4 foot wall or 2 foot wall to either have 6 foot walls or 4 foot walls
Is it cheaper truck and trailer ? or better to get a dump truck that I can add a trailer later on , since you know both have to be insured which is better
You can get away with personal insurance on the truck and trailer setup. S overall the trailer setup is usually cheaper. It also will likely cost less than a dump truck but some people find deals. That’s just from what I’ve heard and gathered. I believe commercial auto would also be cheaper with a trailer versus commercial dump truck.
@@traviswilson3251 appreciate the feedback! & Honestly thats not bad at all since ur just getting started you generally don’t want to have much over head and thats been my like main concern, How much it would cost since Id like to get a dump truck but then all the videos of ppl I see everyone has started with truck and trailer so it really has to be cheaper
The benefit of that low price you were offering before is that it probably got you a decent amount of initial exposure
Great Video.....something that show be watched everyday until things come your way. Thanks Buddy. T.

You hit some great points!!!
Thanks!
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
Great video, keep going!!
Awesome video bro im in NE Oklohoma
Where is a good place you order a hundred? And about how much? Some internet companies charge about 3 dollars per sign does that sound about right?
Yep that’s about what I pay. I use what everyone uses I buy from UZMarketing.com. I have double sided signs it cost me about $350 for 100. If you get smaller signs and don’t do a front and back design you can save money as well.
Who was your web designer/developer? I looked at mighty sites but they’re site looks so generic. And who did you purchase your domain name from?
Wow bro you went into depth

Great job!
One more question, i need a sign for my trailer i figure its like a moving billboard, but where did you get yours made? And how much? Good content
Do you just leave customers with a bill or do you take money up front? Like do you have one of those little credit card readers?

Learn to do it yourself and use Wix. That’s what I’ve done

@@traviswilson3251thanks so much man! And where did you get your sign on your trailer? And how much?
Hey man I’m finna start junk removal hopefully this year and wanted to know what kind axles did you have under your single axle trailer??
@@jameswebb1921 the single axle trailer was only a 3500# axle. It worked great for the most part. Just have to be careful on construction jobs.
@@traviswilson3251 I figured I found a guy that extends trailer walls with steel and probably gonna get a 6 x 12 with 2 foot walls then have him put on another like 4 foot wall or 2 foot wall to either have 6 foot walls or 4 foot walls
Whats your best source of advertising that drives traffic to you?
Yard signs for sure
Signs on the trailer sides/gate
How do you get business
😊
Great video! Good tips. Just some constructive criticism. You're using the word guys too many times
