Growing my Junk Removal Business, Bay Area Hauling & Junk Removal

Good on you - entrepreneurship is alive and well. I have almost always had my own business. I take a hobby or an interest and turn it into a business. Bought a house, raised 2 girls and put them thru college running my own businesses. Be careful and good luck to you.

 

A lot!

 

I appreciate the kind words!

 

almost 1,000 followers on our Instagram business page!

 

Every once in a while I take my doggo to the dump with me. I think he likes the smell.

 

You ever clash with College Hunks Hauling Junk? Fight over territory? Kick down each others signs? lol just playing

I think i have too bad of a hoarding problem to do what you're doing. End up taking hella stuff home. hahah

 

Haha. I know some of the local guys. We mostly compete against 1800GotJunk.

I don’t have that problem but I’ve brought my wife to a few jobs and she’s interested in furniture and little odds and ends haha.

 

Thats how this whole self employed thing works man. Hope you achieve your goal and more!

 

Good for you.

 

FTFY "Oh that sign? I thought it was junk!

 

They threw away that good ass fire wood??

 

Take the lights man! And computers and what not. I bet you could resell half that stuff on FB marketplace for a few $100

 

I would have kept the wood but we were on a super tight schedule and was too far away from home. That job was the most money I’ve ever made in about 9hours, we had a contract, and I wasn’t willing to chance messing it up.

 

I wish! Lights stayed and an employee took the computers. We just took all the display cases, wood, glass, ext. got a free new 10’ fiberglass A frame ladder tho.

 

tweakers lol

 

Started having brake issues the other day. Brake controller would say PL (power loss) and then go back to normal. Then stayed on PL and I lost brakes, but everything else functioned.

i traced the problem back to the passenger side of the trailer, there was an exposed/half ripped ground wire that runs to the magnets for the trailer brakes. I had a flat tire a week ago (just a regular flat not a blow out like Ive had before ) and a piece of tire must have slapped the wire just enough to only rip it halfway apart.

replaced a pigtail connector and all is good.

 

Also here’s a couple random jobs recently:

greenwaste that I underestimated the weight of (all clippings were fresher than I thought)


Some furniture and a bunch of VHS lol

 

Guy's like you and the OP give me hope I could make it work and be a successful dad someday.

Thank You for sharing.

 

SooooOOOOOoooooooo.... What was on the tapes? I've got a VCR you can connect to the computer if there's anything that belongs on a tube site.

 

Haha I didn’t even ask. It’s better that way.
