💩 Why it's ugly

Construction debris is sharp, dusty, heavy, and always upstairs for reasons. The job is a symphony of broken tile, splinters, and someone saying it should only take an hour.

💰 Why it prints money

Contractors need debris gone so crews can keep working. Fast response and predictable pricing beat cheap pricing, and repeat accounts can fill the calendar without consumer marketing chaos.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
