I do rockscape and Turf install. I bought a 5 by 10 dump trailer 5 years ago. Thing paid off on the first install. Now I have 3 bigger and heavy duty ones an still my first one. Dump trailers are so useful and save so much time. I wish I would have got my first one sooner. Was hand dump and unload in pick up bed for too long

Keep on keeping on brother I’m sure you see me running around hauling junk with the rusted out white crew cab Chevrolet in the area ! Trying to make it some weeks are good others are rough all because you got tough times don’t give up success is at the end nothing is given to you I’ve learned that i quit my job at the press republican in Plattsburgh to haul junk cars full time! I also bought a fisher minute mount going to get into the plowing this year on my own it’s a scary road to go down at first I will be the first to admit that but it’ll all be worth it In the end and I will tell you this if you want to make money off scrap metal hauling tell them you only pick metal up for free you do not pay because it’s by the ton and you don’t have a built in scale so it’s just like trash make them either pay you or take it away for free for the time and labor by the end of that anyways they won’t make much. I always take loose scrap for free I never pay unless it’s for a junk vehicle even if it’s 10 ton let’s say I still only take metal for free

Hey man first thing I have to say is good for you . I do delivery’s of landscaping materials such as stone mulch dirt etc with a 16ft pj dump trailer I am getting to the point where I am going to open a llc. I like the residential garbage pick up that you do as there is nobody in my area doing anything like that and I think it’s a grate opportunity to jump on Ps I am in north jersey no where near you lol. My question to you is what was the just the cost of opening the business and start up insurance and how much it cost you monthly or Quarterly

I don’t know if it’s the same out there but the city here give you three carts regular trash, recicle and yard waste. Is this the same case out with you? Again considering that, who’s can I know if it’s a good market here? Thank you and keep up this great content! 👍🏻👊🏻

Nice video speacially for somone just getting into it, I’m in search of truck and trailer as we speak. Question?

Also do you recommend be putting together business name first and buy truck and trailer under business for a write or buy it all first? Thanks anything helps

[@lakechamplainsanitation7226]

Thanks for watching! I would recommend an LLC but check with a tax professional for better set up advice. I would get the plan and business name all set up and then buy the truck. As for the name to buy it in a DBA or LLC you will still need to “co-sign” for the business either way being brand new. Also a good thing to consult a professional about!

[@RidgeRunner4X4]

I am planning a dumpster rental side hustle for when I retire from my full time job in the next year or so... I have found a trailer I like with a dumpster I like. I cannot find out how much it costs for additional dumpsters and delivery of the additional dumpsters without requesting a quote. I do not want to be hounded by salesmen until I am ready to launch. Can you give me an idea of the cost per dumpster? I am thinking of an initial investment of 1 trailers and 10 dumpsters, unless they are ungodly expensive, eventually getting a back-up trailer and another 10 dumpsters over time if things work out...

[@lakechamplainsanitation7226]

A new PJ trailer like mine is $10k , dumpsters are each about $3,900 plus tax but could decrease a bit by buying in bulk. Shipping will depend on time of year and dealer stock

[@BackRoadBound]

Nice work! I'm picking up a 6x12x 24"H dump come January. I was going to go with double 2x12s all around, but you definitely took it to a whole new level. Looks like you built a mini pole barn on that thing.

@@xcel1130 Been great! Closing out my best month ever. Went from one dump trailer, to two dump trailers to a roll off trailer, to two roll off trailers and working on getting a second truck right now. I still have my main job, so all my profits from the junk/dumpster business have gone right back into it. Not all easy money though. Long days for me. But definitely profitable if you put the effort in and don't mind getting your hands dirty.

Wassup my man! I hope all is well. I'm more interested in the business set up. Did you get a commercial plate or passenger plate for your vehicle?

And the second thing that most people do wrong which causes them to fail is they don't stay organized. But you need to find someone to do that for you and you have to pay them even if it's part time. Success isn't just about you it's about the people you employ in the contacts that you make. Anyone can collect trash and take it to the dump for other people.
