Starting a junk removal business does not take a franchise fee or a big truck. It takes honest work, correct pricing and knowing the rules. This free path walks you through it in order.

The path

  1. Is it for you? Be honest about the physical work and uneven early income.
  2. Size up your market. Competitors, prices and disposal costs near you.
  3. Truck and gear. Start with what you have, and know your weight limits.
  4. Get legal. Registration, EIN, local license and insurance.
  5. Price it. Cover dump fees, fuel, labor and your time.
  6. Get booked. Booking, texts and payments with FieldKrow.
  7. Haul and dump. Donate, recycle, scrap, then landfill.
  8. Grow. Reviews, partners, help and a second truck when the numbers say so.
