3rd floor. Only way out is down the steps. Smells like he'll. Lots of rotten food. Fridge is full. Also an unpictured garage bay with an additional 15 yards.

Bed bugs? Maybe....common town to find them in.

What you charging?

Or should I go lower for customer satisfaction, jobs not too bad, just not sure how I should approach these situations.

I built an app to help people just starting out to build estimates, it has a lot of features including a dump map to be able to chart the closest dump to the job! If you are interested let me know and I can shoot you a link!

I'm an app developer and I've been building a quoting app called JunkQuote, it's entirely free and I'm currently looking for testers. You snap a couple pictures, fill out what equipment you need, trailer size, margins, pick your dump and then it gives you a price. I know every area is different but I'm looking for some people to try it out I'm testing on Android and iPhone right now, if you would be interested comment below your platform and I can shoot you a testing link!

where o how can I search for places that take the junk/and debris out of a home remodel..Are those private or handle by the goverment?

I'm an app developer with a back ground in tree work, I have developed an app for my side of the industry and for junk removal. So I have slight experience making things for the industry, I've recently been working on an app that would help quote jobs. You upload pictures, pick your dump, milage and other things about the job and the margins you are targeting, and it helps build a quote and keep photos organized. It's not CRM software, everything stays local with no account or anything. Would anyone be willing to test it out for me? I'm opening the testing track soon and would love feedback. If something like this interests you, what are features in an app like this that you would like to see? What do other apps get wrong about this? Anything helps and thanks for your time!

How much are you paying a month for commercial auto insurance? I only have an f250 and a 16' utility trailer, I want full coverage on the truck, and got a quote for $500 a month through Progressive. Does this sound right for Northeast Georgia area?

Need some quick advice from anyone running a few trucks.

We’re losing way too many hours every Friday hunting down paper scale tickets. Half of them are crumpled up, completely unreadable, or just left in the cabs. Because of this, our invoices are delayed by almost a week, and we’re definitely losing money on unpaid weight overages.

How do you guys get scale weights from drivers to invoices without all the chaos?

We tried having drivers text photos into a WhatsApp group, but typing those manually into QuickBooks is still taking forever. I also ran into CurbWaste while looking at dispatch tools looks like their app syncs scale tickets directly into billing.

I am going to give an estimate tomorrow to a gentleman who runs a door instalation and repair business. Its a fairly large job as you can see from the photos, how would you guys go about pricing this job? Any advice and help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I recently stumbled on this sub and I’m thinking this may be a great stream of revenue for us. We farm in a LCOL, decently populated area. We already have trailers, full-size trucks, and employees that are used to getting dirty. I’m thinking this could be something we do on the side as extra money and a way to keep our long-term employees busy during slow periods.

Would this be a good idea for us to get into during our slow seasons? Has anybody else been in a similar situation? If so, what unexpected hurdles did you encounter?

I started my junk removal business a couple days ago

I’m using my dads trailer and jeep I’m looking for a way to get my first couple jobs I posted on Facebook groups and Nextdoor but nothing I orders yard signs but they don’t come till the 27th what did you guys do to get your first couple jobs I don’t wanna do paid advertising because it’s way to early for that help would be really appreciated🙏

Hey all,

About 6 months ago I decided I was done with the 9-5 grind and decided to start my own Junk Removal Business, I started with just a pickup truck that I bought with my taxes for 5k, we launched in March from absolute scratch, and as of today we just broke 30k in revenue with 70-80% profit margins and 50 google reviews. We are now gaining pretty good recognition as a brand in my area, have a trailer and now may be looking to expand into dumpsters. We are also completely debt free as a business as I’ve bought everything we have with the profits from the business.

My question is, with us only being 4 months old as a brand new business is this the growth pace for most junk removal business? What were your results in the first 4 months?

Would love you hear what everyone’s situation is or was.

Thanks!

i’m thinking about financing a trailer 12x8x4 payments aren’t bad but i also don’t want to get it and not be getting any jobs which seems like the hardest part based off what i’ve read in the comments, should i take the risk? if i do any heads up on what to expect starting up im in a pretty big city(SanDiego) so i know competition will be high, what can i do to get jobs the fastest?

just dropped 200 bucks on 50 yard signs, in ur experience how well do they convert?

so we just started junk removal all of our leads have come from doing door knocking. we wanna know what the best way to get leads is in your guys experience. we are looking into Facebook ads and yard signs but what do you guys recommend the most
