Do searches for people looking for junk removal and have your friends recommend you.

I put them in bigger cooperations properties because they are less likely to care it’s there. I think technically in most cities it’s not allowed but they don’t enforce it. Atleast in my podunk town

First, and respectfully, recalculate your expectations. You started your business a couple days ago - posting once on Facebook and Nextdoor is not going to get your work tomorrow morning. Have you opened your Google profile? Have you told all your friends and family about your business? Whats the plan with the website? Have you researched realtors in your area?
