Wow! Congratulations on your success! Thank you for the motivating comment! John definitely appreciates this as he looks to grow & scale in the future!
Thank you very much! Congrats to you and your company. That is extremely encouraging to hear. I will be sure to look back on these kind words for motivation in the future.
Yea 1980 now a lot of people doing the same, with the internet that make you easier to make business.diferent times bro now is hard.
Great Plug for your company 😅
42 years= no time
Lmao
I love hearing stories of people that created a small business and built it into a success. Best of luck moving forward.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the support.
@@hahadumpstersllc7782could you give some pointers as to how you get customers and or what methods you use to get clients and or leads??
Even though this guy didn’t buy this with his own money, this guy is putting in work to run the company. If you had money to give your child to start a business so they can be successful, Im sure you would help in some way financially. On a side note, this guy moves and talks like a 40yr man 😂 Keep it up bro, you have potential to build a life for your future👍🏼
Thank you for the great feedback! John is working hard every day. Nothing comes free in life. Appreciate your positive mindset! 💥
@@tom-riseupmedia best of luck to John💪🏼
I really appreciate the support, and yes I have been called a 30 year old in a 20 year old's body countless times!
Most every company I know of. Was started with someone else's money. Getting a loan doesn't make it your money. It just makes it your responsibility to pay it back. Just like if you're going to borrow the money from a family member.

This is a very impressive young man. He has the energy of an old soul. Love his work ethic - and that "better safe than sorry" comment sounded like sweet music coming out of the mouth of a 21 year old!
im looking to start this business from scratch here in Canada..trying to get all the information..I need a Bin manufacturer if anyone out there sees this! congrats to this guy on here he got all kinds of bins lol I gotta manifest one at a time i guess!
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure 💰Congratulations on being successful at such a young age.
John appreciated your positive feedback!
Thank you very much for the support!
Nice work. But this is more of a day in the life working “in” a dumpster business. You should do another vid explaining your comeup how you acquired your setup funding monthly overhead how much did you make in the vid for the day??? We need the business side the meat n potatoes! 👍🏼👊🏼nice hustle bro
Hell yeah im 26 starting my business i wish i could have started even younger props to this kid here he is super smart and dedicated
John appreciates your positive feedback! Best of luck!! 💪
I also wish I could have started even younger! Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to you and your business!

I'm proud of You young man , keep up the good work, don't over leverage yourself, let the need of business determine your growth. Work hard now so you can do what you want later. I started in the Rolloff business when i was about 38 yrs old , worked it for 20 years , it was very good to Me. Wished i started at your age. This is a very good business, be there when you tell your customers you'll be there and your business will grow.
Thank you, I really appreciate the support and those words of wisdom!
What ever happened to the concept of admiration? This young man is an inspiration.

Looks like the truck is the real money maker. Very clever and awesome to see hard and smart work coming together. This guys going places much bigger
Hey thanks man I appreciate the support!
Your editing is really good. I thought I was watching someone with lots of subcrsibers but I’ve seen you’ve got less than a thousand. Keep it up man and I have no doubt you’ll blow up. Best of luck to you
Thanks Juan! Happy you liked the video. More to come soon. Stay tuned! 💥
Awesome and good for him. Just wish they would have talked a little more about how he got started.
Step 1: Hey dad, I need to borrow 250K!!!
Thanks for commenting
Daaaaaadddy
With that mindset, you’ll never get anywhere in life lol
@@matthewbinzer9648 with that sad your business successfully takes off with dads help. Grow up and get with reality rich boy
@@matthewbinzer9648 What the mindset that its a lot easier to start a business if your family is already rich? That is just reality. Money begets money in this world and starting out with a sizable "loan" from dad is a massive advantage. I'm not really knocking it I cant blame someone for having wealthy parents but if two guys have a net worth of 2 million and one started with 0 and the other started with free money from dad im going to have more respect for what Mr. Zero accomplished, because he did it all on his own.
the main thing i respect is that you do work too there are too many people focused on having a business and having others do the work.. you are smart and you will succeed 💪💪💪
Thanks for the support! I need to know how to do everything before I can teach employees.
people want to have a business and never work
After running all cable trucks for a while,, it was absolutely Sweet to run a hook truck
Definitely a great option you can choose to go with!
use to do this when I was younger, its lucrative if you can muscle your way. Its very expensive and margins are low....competition fierce. usually you need resis to carry your container business because when a depression or recession hits it goes to zero basically and you are stuck with loans! Grind hard my man, trash never sleeps.
I appreciate the words of advice, thanks!
I will keep you in mind. I am in the west end of Lake County. Way to go man!
John definitely appreciates it! When the time comes you can contact him here: www.hahadumpsters.com/contact
We’ll be ready to go, thanks!
Good to see a young man doing something like you are not many young people even want to work. Awesome!!
Thanks for the great feedback Kenneth!
Thanks for the support!
That comment is super cringe. I'm in my early 30s and have been a motorcycle mechanic for 10 years. We have kids working there that are in their 20s that would put your old ass to shame. Very intelligent, hard working, dedicated kids that are working towards their master technician licenses. Grow up and stop grouping all the idiots into our age group you discriminatory punk.
Mad respect you actually closed that tarp
John leaves no room for error
Yes thank you!
Great job, thanks for sharing your video. Keep up the hard work
Thank you very much. Will do!
Such a nice setup

Congrats man but My questions are how many years did it take to start finding costumers, and how where you able to start picking up more customers on the way. Did you post on social media would you go out there and ask if they were interested? what did you do to find customers? I’m asking because I’m having trouble myself trying to get costumers and I’d love some sort of advice or tip.
I use to work in a American Chinese Sweat shop Dumpster Making Business when I was younger ....great times lost lots of weight and learning to weld better. In life in general ....and for a living .... Welded dumpsters from sun up to sun down although I never seen the sun 🌞. Because it was dark on the way in and out .
😂😂 . I can give you lots of structural Integrity pro tips to make your dumpsters last longer ;) 🙏🤠

Well, I definitely was not expecting this company to be in my area! Thats cool. I'm a CDL A Driver for a local LTL company there.

Glad to hear it my man! Best of luck in whatever you are working for!
Beautiful set up.
Thanks for the kind words Ken!
Thanks!
Nice of your daddy to set you up... Thank your dad...
Thanks for commenting.
Daddy got some serious $$$
'Most' 21 yr olds can't do anything except dream of this. A guesstimate regarding this equipment cost .. $500,000. +/-
It's important to work from 15 or 16 and save most all of your earnings and use it toward a deposit on business equipment and land rental/purchase. Then have knowledge of the business you will operate AND have great marketing skills or a known customer base in place.
Best of luck to ya! 😎🇺🇸
Awesome insight! HaHa Dumpsters is working on growing every day! Stay tuned for their progress in their next video! 💥

Nice setup ! I’m over here in the 440 looking to start up the same thing
Good stuff! Good luck to you!
You should look into portable trash compactors as well to expand in. I see lots of grocery stores and restaurants with them. I think you would do well with them! Great work man, I hope to get something going like this myself in AZ.
Thanks for the advice Austin! John definitely appreciates any insight people have with this business. Stay tuned for his next video!
Definitely an option to consider, thanks!
@@hahadumpstersllc7782 funny company name 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jamesdukes597 Yes we've gotten a lot of attention from it!
Awesome I can’t do because young time I try idea but can’t believe me
that truck is awesome
Thanks! We think so too!
The fact it's called "HaHa Dumpsters" if I lived in the USA, I'd hire just for that name!
We’re glad to hear that!
Thanks for commenting! Need to stand out! Haha!
Good for you! You should be proud of yourself! I bet you that you got some haters in your family that told you you were crazy or you would never amount anything. Keep going at it man!
Lol, my family may think I’m a little crazy but I know they have my back 100%. I appreciate the support!

That’s awesome. We’ll look to be ready to go, thanks!
Little bit stuck up but that’s ok!! Love the work man!
Thanks for feedback.
This is inspiring thanks
So happy to hear that! Good luck to you!
I work for a roll off dumpster company, the owner started like you, one truck 10 cans, now have 55 trucks 5,000 cans. A few suggestions, get rid of the auto tarpers, you will be fine with it. But when you hire drivers, will become a high maintenance item, also as you know, tight squeeze sometimes. Run sealer in your tires, you'll get a lot of nails in the landfill. We've tried a lot of hook lift brands. Now go with Palfinger
Hand tarp
Hi James! Thank you for the advice! John will definitely appreciate having this info moving forward as he continues to expand his business!
Also check out this video created for Palfinger USA a few years back!
czcams.com/video/-Yi-WbTbikc/video.html
@@tom-riseupmedia now that's a knuckle boom. I've been turning wrenches and running shops for a little over 40 years, 15 with the roll offs, if he has any questions, let me know
Any particular tire sealant you would recommend for this truck?
Jack the axle up, remove valve core, let most of the air out, pump sealer in put core back in, air the tire back up
His family was like what are you going to start a business in he all like "HaHa Dumpsters" all stoned out of his mind
Good for you kid good job. Take my advice the only investment you have to make in dumpsters are 20 yarders don't waste your time with tens and 15s that way you never have to worry about being precise on a swap out just tell your customer what to put in it if they put more you charge more when you go to pick it up.
Thanks for the great info! John definitely appreciate it as he looks to expand HaHa Dumpsters!
We really appreciate the advice!
I knew it was legit when I saw the Focus.
Kid is so mature for a 21 year old, wow 🫡👏
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you, I feel it’s important to take every measure into account to make sure customers know we are reputable and trustworthy.
How about make a video on how you made your first dollar from the very start. I’m 21 years old and started my business from complete scratch no loans , no mommy /daddy start ups . It’s not too convincing that you take credit for 200k+ in equipment and not explain that you were lucky enough to have someone get the wheels rolling for you. Cause again at 21 with my own legal business since I was 18 I know how truly hard it is to get to this degree (On your own) .
Thanks for commenting
@@tom-riseupmedia yeah
I’d love to see the behind the scenes on how he made this happen
Hi Siggy Rides. John may have another video coming up soon. You can also reach out to him directly: www.hahadumpsters.com/contact
Not only a successful young man but cute too! 😂👍
Chillax bro
Bro you don’t have to get back there and pick up trash just shake the dumpster by sliding it up & down or roll up and back up and stop hard but not to hard 100% works😄
Try that in NY/NJ, you may get a visit from Vinny and his crew. lol
Moms and dads money help too that's step one they never talk about
Thanks for commenting
@@tom-riseupmedia your welcome keep the videos coming
Well done 👏🏽

Great job! What kind of truck is this one called? Love the set up.
i knew the freeway looked familiar lol
Thank for commenting!
Yes sir
Hey Tom! I love the content! I am new to the dumpster rental game. I have a landscaping company that I manage. Any advice for a new guy on the best place to find a truck and dumpster ? Also, what truck / brand have you had the best experience with ? Thank you!
Hi Alann. Great question! John might have some good insight for you soon. You can contact him through hahadumpsters.com
Shit man just to have a yard of that size in my area the cost would be $10k+++
Wait till Sopranos come after their cut
No dirty 30's? As someone who dose construction the 30 yarder is by far our favorite. But i like it keep up the good work. Also in NY everyone has to tarp They're loads. Dont know what your DOT officers are like but over here no tarp is a instant $500 fine.
John is working to scale HaHa Dumpsters. Stay tuned and see the business grow!
Thanks for the insight, stay tuned!
Perhaps sub-30s are a neglected market.. hence a small operator can chisel thier way in.
Everything is super cool bro only suggestion is wear looser fitting clothes
Haha! You don’t like John’s work uniform?
Look good, feel good, play good.
What software do you use to track everything?
Get a pup trailer. It will allow you to do twice the work and burn 1/2 the fuel. I had 4 hooks and 100 boxes.
Definitely something to look into. Thanks for the advice!
Another cool thing I used to do is sleeve containers together and if we had three or four drops one truck could drop three boxes all in one shot kind of like nesting them that always worked really good. A spread axle pup is the way to go. Really easy to connect and disconnect.
@@MrTomkaeding I will plan on looking into all of that. Thanks for the advice!
how many and what size of dumpsters do you recommend to start this business?? thanks great video…
what software do you use for tracking dumpsters?
The only down fall of a non tandem hooklift. Lack of power, and capacity. The heaviest dumpster I've done to-date was a 20 yarder form a windshield shop. 15 fuckin tons. Watch out for the larger companies. Some will go to great lengths to erase the smaller ones. There is one in my state buying up all who will sell and pretty much destroying who won't.
Thanks for the advice! John definitely will appreciate this info!
Thanks for your insight, we'll be sure to stay aware of that!
Great video, what app or software are you using to run it? I saw another guy using DRS. Thanks
Any insurance for the trailer in case of theft?
Female: You're so cute so what do you do?
Dumpster Man: I'm Self Employed and I have my own business
Female: That's so cool so what kind of business is it?
Dumpster man: I got dumpsters
Dumpster man will appreciate this comment 👍

Now add dumpster pad cleaning service to your routes
Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money
Will definitely keep that idea in mind!Thanks for the advice!
Impressive. What’s the make and model of the truck ? That’s a nice rig
Good job for the work you put in but you have to put planks when you lay the containers onto the driveways to not damage them - I sued the company for damage and the ruling was in my favor.
Thanks for the tip! John Will appreciate this info moving forward with his business
We appreciate the advice!
How much monthly do you lease for that KENWORTH T880 HOOKLIFT? Do they cover maintenance. It's like almost worth $300,000!
Haha such a busy day
Thanks for commenting! John is growing his business working 24/7.
I like this!! If you don’t mind me asking. Where did you find a truck like that, That’s one sweet thing you have !

Thank you !
What is your ratio of dumpster bins to hook trucks?
What app do you use to keep track of your dumpsters?
Do you have a relationship with the dumps for reduced cost>? paid 90 dollars recently to dump ONE truck bed on junk at the dump.... when i was getting 10 yard dumpsters for around 200....... I cant see where the money is made unless you own the Dump or have a relationship with them????
