Offer Junk Removal Services
Not all garbage will be able to fit into a residential garbage can.
Individuals often need to dispose of:
- Large shrubs, branches, and other yard debris accumulated during a landscaping project.
- Pieces of furniture that are past their prime and no longer usable.
- Unwanted items inherited after a death in the family.
These items are ready for the landfill, but first they need to be transported there. Folks who don't own pickup trucks or trailers will be unable to take these items on their own.
That's where a dump trailer enters the picture.
Get hired to drive your dump trailer from the client's house and to the landfill. It's a commonly needed service in a community that can earn you extra income.
One approach is to park the dump trailer at the client's home, let them load it up, then have the client call you when they are finished and you can return to haul away their junk. Or you can charge extra money to load up the items into your dump trailer, then take it away.
Offer Transportation for Landscaping Tools and Materials
Before someone can tackle a landscaping project, they will need certain tools and materials. These supplies may not be able to fit inside their vehicle's trunk, but they can fit just fine into your dump trailer!
This can be a great option for private homeowners who only need the extra hauling help for a short period of time. It wouldn't make sense for them to purchase a trailer for this one-time need. Renting a trailer may also not be an option, depending on their vehicle's towing capacity. Thanks to your dump trailer, they can get the landscaping items they need delivered to their house.
Offer Services for Businesses
Companies need hauling help too! Some may be too small to hire a part-time employee to handle their hauling needs. Some may temporarily have more work than their staff can handle. Either way, you can serve as a freelance dump trailer operator and make some extra income. Reach out to local landscaping and construction companies to see if they can use your dump trailer services.
