💩 Why it's ugly

Old hot tubs are wet, heavy, moldy, and usually trapped on a deck by a homeowner's past optimism. The glamorous part is discovering what lived under it.

💰 Why it prints money

Homeowners, landlords, real estate agents, and property managers need fast removal before listings, renovations, and insurance headaches. Disposal jobs can be priced as a convenience service with strong minimums and add-ons.

🗺️ 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.
