Starting a Trash Company
Starting a Trash Company - MFM
I came across this video from the MFM podcast. The speaker also notably mentioned Tim Ferriss.

I started a 6-figure trash company in the last 30 days.
To fund it, I pre-sold the service at $99 for 3 months.
- 350 people signed up
- 80 transactions captured
- $8,000+ in the bank
- $31,680 in annual recurring revenue before I formed the LLC
Yesterday I bought this Trash Truck for $40,000:
The truck is 100% financed and will cost $900 a month (zero dollars out of pocket).
The business will generate $2,640 a month to start or $1,740 after the truck payment.
I spent $3,500 on used trash bins to supply to new customers.
Bank balance after bin purchase = $4,500
Other expenses include dumping, insurance, driver, etc.
Once we get started, we will convert the 270 remaining signups into customers.
Projected Revenue Year 1:
- Bad Year = $138,600 (current sign ups)
- Good Year = $277,200
- Great Year = $396,000
Now, if you are reading this and think this is fake/insane/stupid/click-bait/etc… I agree with you! I am doing it and I can’t believe it!
I have never had a blue collar job. I have never operated a service biz. I don’t know anything about trash trucks or the biz.
BUT, here we go!
