How to Start a Litter Pick-Up Business: $30-50/hr Picking Up Trash?

Brian Winch calls picking up litter from parking lots “America’s Simplest Business.”
His own trash pickup business started as a side hustle way back in 1981, and has since grown into a $650k a year operation.
Sadly, it’s still an essential service (boo litterbugs!), but has very low startup costs and Brian says you can earn $30-$50 an hour doing this on the side.
What prompted Brian to pick up the phone and ask property management companies if he could handle their litter picking contracts?
“I decided I liked my job but I couldn’t see myself doing this for the rest of my life and I wanted more,” Brian said. In just a few months he was earning more part-time in this side hustle than he was at his full-time job.
It’s freelancing - brick-and-mortar style.
Tune in to hear how Brian landed his first clients, how he priced his service, and how he scaled the business to remove himself from the day-to-day trash pickup.
With the decent pay, hours that fit around most day jobs, minimal start-up costs, and no prior experience necessary, it’s a side hustle success story that’s worth checking out.

If you pick up litter in a residential area, it is best to do it during the day when the people are at work. If you are picking up litter in a business area, you are better off doing it at night when the cars are parked at the people's home.

He is right, you find lost things. I found a $100 bill while picking up litter on high school grounds.

@@NickLoper Yes sir. I was eager to clean up the back end of the school grounds because it's my favorite place to let my dogs roam and run after hours and the litter was an eyesore. The 100 dollar bill in tall grass was luck. I wonder what other surprises are waiting to be found in cleanup sites.

I drive by this vacant office property across the street from a shopping center daily. The receipts and bags and other trash blow across the road and make the office building (3 stories) look terrible. I'm going to call the realtor and ask if they need help cleaning exterior. I was going to just volunteer, but hey, what a great interview and idea.

@@NickLoper purely selfish. I pick up trash cause I'm sick of looking at it. (Hate face) but because now there's millions crossing the border and millions more living in there cars .. I'm picking up household trash and feces every day.

I e been thinking about this idea and seeing that others do it is cool. I work at this community that really is trashy and honestly a littered up neighborhood drives property value down and the residents moods too. I wonder who to call for I guess city clean up like this? Wish me luck!
@NickLoper
@NickLoper Год назад
Keep us posted! If it’s commercial property, typically the landlord or property management company. For city property, maybe the parks or maintenance department?

All litter is trash, but the trash that is lying where it is not suppose to be (i.e., the ground), then it is litter.

Hi Nick! I've been looking around and thought perhaps your guest speaker would know. How much money per square foot/yard/acre does he charge?
@innergoof19
@innergoof19 3 года назад
It sounds like the guest was literally walking the property, back and forth as if he were picking up trash, and timing himself. Then charging an hourly rate on a monthly basis.

How do you actually get started though do you have to register as a small business owner or do you just get payed under the table??
@NickLoper
@NickLoper 2 года назад
*not legal advice* By default, you can start out as a sole proprietor to test the waters and see how it works to get customers. You can run this under your own name or a fictitious business name (dba-“doing business as”). Income will pass through to your personal tax return on schedule C. To be official, you can register with your Secretary of State, or create an LLC, but I’d only go through that paperwork filing process after having validated the idea.

Possibly, but it may be a more complicated way to invoice. The litter pickup owners I’ve talked to all charge weekly/monthly. But I did pay my kids a penny a leaf to help me clean up the yard :)
