How To Run A Professional Garage Cleanout Plano

By Kenya England


Sometimes revenue ideas come from odd places and yet they can be entirely profitable. One example is a garage cleanout Plano, TX. Most everyone has a garage and a good percentage of them needs cleaning! All kinds of junk is stored there from appliances and old furniture to tools and sports gear. Attics and basements are also known to need some tidying up, too, making a professional cleanout company a real boon to extra income.

It can be hard work to run this type of company, but you will have the help of employees if the business takes off. Plus, you have the benefit of reselling used items in good to reasonable condition for extra cash. With a little initial investment in equipment and supplies, you will be well on your way to a profitable future.

The first step in starting a professional cleanout service is to get a business license from the county clerk's office or a department that handles local business. Then you must plan how to dispose of trash and store items for sale. You have to haul the contents of the garage in a truck or van.

You can run your business from home or from a warehouse you use for storage. You will need a truck and an employee or two on a part-time basis. You may not make a profit right away with this overhead, but it will soon pay for itself. Be sure to put your business name and phone number on your vehicle as a form of mobile advertising.

When it comes to equipment and supplies, there are standard items to consider. You will lease or purchase a truck for hauling, and if business is good, you may need more than one. This will be a large ticket item for the company, but it should be covered by future revenues, as will the various employees. Be sure to use signage on the vehicle for mobile advertising. Include the business name and phone number and something about the service.

There are other ways to dispose of trash than a refuse company. You can auction valuable items or sell them at a flea market or in a used furniture or antique store. You might want to do some of each, while the rest is recycled. Giving things to a charity, a nursing home, or hospital for example, is a great tax writeoff. Take advantage of all of them .

A dumpster is a must if there is any volume of trash, and again it could be more than one if you have a large business. Additional supplies will include trash bags, twine, shovels, rakes, and protective gloves to be used when sorting and hauling.

As word of mouth spreads, you will find yourself busy with new business. Referrals are a wonderful way to go. People will have confidence in you and pass on your name as a reliable cleanout source. Leaflets are also great in mailboxes and public places. Don't overlook funeral homes, churches, coops, and residential buildings. When all is said and done, you will need to make contact with charities and antique stores for placement of key items.
