It’s unclear who created the first junk removal company. Originally, junk removal was often performed by one person with a truck who worked evenings or weekends. However, the industry has become professionalized in recent years. Today, junk removal companies send out uniformed employees in branded trucks who sweep up when they’re done.
To start a junk removal business, you should:
Depending on the state you live and operate in, you may need a license for your junk removal business. You’ll also need to obtain a tax identification number and decide if you want to set up your business as an LLC, partnership, or sole proprietorship.
It’s up to you how much you tip a junk removal company. If the employees went above and beyond to carry the items out carefully, you might want to tip them as much as 20%. Otherwise, a standard tip is 10%.
Junk removal businesses typically try to sort through the junk in the most environmentally friendly way possible. This means they allow employees to take items home, donate whatever they can, recycle what they can, sell anything they can, and take the rest to the garbage dump.
The cost of junk removal depends on how much junk there is and what type of junk it is. Some junk removal services charge by weight while others charge according to space taken up in their truck. The national average to remove a truckload of junk is $234, but it ranges from $100-$800.
