In a world with many opportunities, people still find themselves stuck in the “Rat Race”. Luckily, the way our world is set up, there are thousands of ways to make some extra cash. Today I would like to show you how you could make $900 a day with this simple side hustle!

Garbage Can Cleaning

The average ​American throws away 5 pounds of trash daily. All this trash ends up in your trash can, and then a garbage truck comes and picks it up. Even after the trash is taken out of the trash can there is always something left over, gunk. This gunk, or leftover trash, attracts cockroaches, ants, and other tiny rodents that could possibly even get into your house.

T​his is where you come in. You would be surprised by how many people would pay you to pressure wash their trash cans. You could do this once every month or even once every week.

P​eople pay a lot of money for this service. Garbage can cleaning is also a newfound service so not as many people are doing it yet. This leaves so much room for you to start your own garbage can cleaning business and make A LOT of money doing it.

W​hat you need to get started

T​he awsome part about this side-hustle is that getting started is incredibly cheap and easy! Obviously, the first thing you need is a power washer. The cool thing is, you don’t need an expensive one. There are simple 70–100$ battery-powered power washers that would do the job just fine. With the power washer, it would be smart to buy one that has a soap attachment to it. The soap you use could be a 15$ cheap solution from a hardware store, nothing too crazy. You could also use a separate sprayer to spray the soap on before you power wash. This is really all the equipment you need to get started!

H​ow to get the word out

N​ow, you might be wondering, “How am I supposed to get word out about my business?”

W​e live in a Social Media crazed world. Promoting your business on Facebook, or Instagram are very smart ways to grow your business. You could also use sites like Craigslist, or Nextdoor. The cool thing about all of these is that they are completely FREE!

In my opinion, the best way to get the word out about this business is by using door-hanging fliers. Door-hanging fliers are a GREAT way to spread the word about your business. I recently had someone leave a door-hanging flier at my house advertising this service. The cool thing about door-hanging fliers is that they are super easy to make and you can buy them in bulk for a very cheap price. Sites like Vistaprint sell 1000 door-hanging fliers for only 0.11 cents a piece. That means you could get 1000 fliers for only 100$. This is not that bad considering how much you can make with this business.

A​nother thing I learned was that people are excited about this service. I was looking at reviews for this service and found out that people were beyond excited to have their stinky trash cans cleaned. So once the word starts spreading your business will grow immensely!

The Profit

P​eople have been able to make a lot of money doing this business. I have seen people charge up to 65$ for one-time trash cleaning services. Others charge 35$ or more for recurring monthly trash can cleaning services. These people also charge 10$ or more for any extra garbage can. Let’s do some quick math here.

L​et’s say you clean 4 trash cans every hour for 8 hours. That’s 32 trash cans a day. If you charge 35$ per trash can that equals up to 1,100 dollars a day. This doesn’t even include charging extra for more than one garbage can.

E​ven if you only worked for a couple of hours you will still be making hundreds of dollars a day!

N​ow it’s time to PUT IN THE WORK!!!

T​his side hustle requires zero skill and is a service a lot of people would pay money for. The upfront cost is very minimal compared to how much money you could be bringing in daily. All you have to do now is put in some work. It’s easy to sit there and read about how much money you could make off of this side hustle, or you could go out and make that money. Start working on getting the word out about your business, or start getting the supplies. I have given you all the information you need, all you have to do now is get out there and do it!
