📖 The Hustle
Help homeowners clear out garages, basements, and attics that have become storage disasters. Haul items to donation centers or the dump. Charge $30-40 per hour or flat rates of $200-400 per job. Bring a friend for heavy lifting and you can finish faster. One cleanout per weekend earns solid money. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for this work.
🚀 First Step
Post on Nextdoor and TaskRabbit offering garage and basement cleanout help with a truck or willingness to make dump runs, including before-and-after examples.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Know where your local dump, donation center, and recycling facility are before the first job
- Bring a friend for jobs with heavy furniture — split the pay and finish twice as fast
- Take a photo of the empty space after — that single shot will book your next three clients
