![[3 Tips] Determining Your Valet Trash Service Cost](/img/n.gif)
Nailed it on it being relaxing. People think hauling trash is the worst job ever from the outside looking in but I look forward to our residential route. Our first packer was only a 12k investment. If you buy smart and don't go nuts a packer is a game changer for ya. Thanks again for being transparent.
Can't wait for more residential videos.
I was in the retail route sales business for 25 years. I totally understand what its like being "married" to your business. As the years progressed working 6 days a week withour vacation, I developed a relationship with a couple of school teachers that wanted to earn money during their summer break and occasional weekends. They were responsible and could be trusted with my business. This gave me coverage a couple times a year for respite from the business.... if you don't, it will definitely be your downfall. GREAT CONTENT!
Great information!! I appreciate the comment and support!!
Nice! The business idea is very unique yet will surely profit in the long run.
Another great video with great info bud. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Get you a 3/4 ton truck and build some wood sides on it. Load and unload by hand . Easily get 40 houses on there!
I think you were talking about garbage juice, Love it!
Seriously considering starting with a couple roll-offs early next year. I’m in rural north Florida in a growing market with plenty(for now) of new construction going on. Not looking good for the residential side of it here, but I’m getting excited about the prospect of starting the roll-off business to supplement my income from my regular job. I work the graveyard shift, so that leaves my mornings and/or evenings open to deliver and pick up. Your videos have been inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!
What part of north Florida are you in? I’m in north Florida, maybe we can link.

Another excellent video, thanks!
Thank you!
Very informative, thank you!
Man I enjoy watching all your videos since you started and I keep pushing residential because that’s how I started I’m going on two years with 300 accounts and I love learning more info everyday. I get dump fees are different just about everywhere.
Thank you for the support man!
That sounds like an impossibly high clientele. Do you believe this is doable in suburban areas? I am very interested in giving this a go
@@spilledit dude I believe in just grinding it and good marketing find out your competitors pricing and go from there
Hey Jaime, I would like to communicate with you in regards to your business. I live in Central California and want to start a business.... Anything to change jobs
@@Raulito9 man as much as I hate to say it treat it as a second job until the money starts flowing in because it does get costly but lake Champlain is got the right idea of paying everything off that’s where I’m at right now and glad I did everything cash
Where do you buy your bulk commercial trash cans?
I never gave it a thought that towns could be under contract with trash companies
I like the residential videos .

Nice I am in the sanitation department 20 years I am planning to do it on my own in north Carolina
Awesome!!
To improve your channel, you should actually film while you do a job. Afterwards on the edit talk some truth as a podcast as we see you do the job. Not just you talking to the camera all video. Keep up your good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Could you do a video sometime about valet trash? I’m in the process of starting a valet trash business right now and would love to get your take on how you would go about it. Unfortunately, I’m stuck in an urban area for the time being and that seems like the only way I can get trash routes.
Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge in that type of business
This is awesome I’ve been planning to expand my rolloff company into residential pickup. Just had my first meeting with an HOA management firm hopefully everything works out looking at around 85-300 homes to start off. Where did you get your trash bins from? Thank you!!!!
That’s great!! I order from Cascade out of Michigan
@@lakechamplainsanitation7226 thanks! I love the channel! You are definitely one of the reasons I stopped dragging my feet and started my business. I love how your super professional, informative, and always looking for ways to expand outside of roll offs. No other CZcamsr is doing this!!!!
@@rramz1345 Depending upon what part of the country you're in, try Otto, Schaefer, and Rehrig.
If you just started with a pick-up or a dump truck how did you physically pick upstream can and dump it. Did you just reach in every can and sling each bag?
Hey bro, I want to start I was watching through a few videos, but I really need a good heads up how to go about it
Starting to consider expanding my side hustle after finding your Chanel. How many stops do you average with the 7x12 trailer and what is your average full load weight at the dump?
In our setup it will fit 65-80 stops. About 2500-3,000lbs full
I'm in Texas and looking into rural trash services. Where did you find your trash cans with your logo?
I've been hauling trash since I was 18 and I'm now 31. I'm getting ready to start my own business. Im not sure if I should start with a pick-up and a dump trailer, a packer or if I should get a roll off truck and start with dumpsters. Any suggestions? Pros- Cons?
What’s up bro, you mentioned about it a person lose some of their customers to competitors… i was wondering what’s the term of a typical contract.
Also how do you figure routes and scheduling
When you did you residential trash pick up in your set up with the dump trailer that you built the walls up on, how did you go about separating trash and recyclables?
I used 55 gallon drums in the pickup bed
I have a Boxtruck with a lift gate, mostly did moving jobs and junk removal, due to injuries I’m looking to go the residential trash route, providing trash bins etc , I would have to roll them on to the truck, and dump each bin and drop them back to the customers, sounds like something that could work? Think I’ll loose on diesel and time , I’ll give it a whirl and let the people know how it goes
It would definitely take time to dump each one manually but it’s probably possible!
I am in Georgia where do you go to purchase a rout??
Where di you buy your trash bins
2 questions . how many stops you up to? and what's your dump fee per ton up there?
He said 600 accounts
Where do you research if you can or can’t do this business in certain towns or areas? I know some areas have contracts and can’t get into there but what would you recommend?
Thank you
I would call the local town offices or you city center
How do I know if my area is under contract ? Does that mean I cannot pursue those customer?
What kind of licensing did you have to get ?
Where to you buy your carts from been looking all over and can’t find them
Cascade
I do work for a trash company they've been in business since 1946 it's a family-owned business I have my CDL class A license. My question is you think $55 is a reasonable price for 2 months starting my own business ? my company charges $70 every 3 months , and with commercials they charge about $200 to $300
It would really come down to the market and the margins depending on landfill fees and other overhead
How much for the can and what companies make the custom prints?
Otto, Toter and Cascade should make them! Gotta call for quotes
Are you using the 64 gallon or the 96 gallon receptacles?
We use 96s
Where do you dump the trash?
We have a landfill
Do you supply the trash cans?
Yes
What size cans do you use? 64 or 96 gallons?
96 gallon
@@lakechamplainsanitation7226 where do you get your cans from in bulk. Been looking and I have not had much luck
How many trucks did you start with?
1 pickup truck
Where do you order your cans from?
We have ordered from Cascade and Otto
Couldn't find the link for the 1 on 1. Do you have an email you would be willing to share?

Alright I just got in trouble with my local dump for not being licensed in hazardous handling lmao
Hey man, if you don't mind I would greatly appreciate it if I could briefly speak with you over the phone or email?
calendly.com/lcsanitation you can book a time!
I’m not a CZcamsr but would love to do a joint video with you on your channel on this same topic. I started a small hauling company in 2012, frontload/automated side load/roll offs with 10 trucks now.
That’s awesome! Where are you located??
