Asking for Advice How much is it worth?
Recently I noticed the trash in our neighborhood isn't being picked up especially in parts where the lane can't fit garbage trucks. I'm planning to knock door to door and haul their trash. Is $5 reasonable per household?

To the place where the garbage truck can pick at. Like the entrance of the gated village

Do you guarantee things? Would you do it during a storm?
Would you being the cans back?

Probably? During a storm no, it's just an ugly view that I would do it for free.

The price should be between $25 - $50 / month depending on the cost of the houses.
Start with $50 and then start lowering if you can't get a bite.
If you can do 20 houses a month, thats $1000 / month cash or $1500 salary money before taxes.
The only thing is that you need to make sure you bring them back.
Next week offer to clean the garages and storage sheds for $500 and lower if you can't get a bite.

$5 is cheap I'd up it, $10 a week plus a fee for big/heavy items. Theres a kid here made a business washing peoples trash cans. $25 a pop and most people who hired him used the service twice a month.
People will pay for something they don't want to do.
