Side Hustle Hero 165: How to Start a Litter Cleanup Service
You're about to hear how to start a litter cleanup service, which is a low-cost, flexible business where you can literally get paid to go for a walk through parking lots and outside of commercial properties. Brian Winch (author of Clean Lots) returns to share the exact steps: which properties to target first, how to reach the decision maker at property management companies (and who not to pitch), what to say, how to handle the most common objection, and the simple free reporting add-on that helps you stand out.
We also talk startup costs (basic hand tools + insurance), pricing and routes, why early morning is the sweet spot, and free publicity moves that have landed Brian media coverage. For context, Brian has grown this business to gross over $600,000 a year, and for beginners he explains how 2–3 hours a day can translate into $2K–$3K/month in extra income.
If you want a simple, service-based side hustle with early-morning hours and room to scale, this episode gives you a practical blueprint.
You'll learn:
- Best starter properties to pitch
- How to connect with the right decision maker
- What to say on first contact (and what to avoid)
- A low-effort value add that wins clients (free reporting)
- How to start smart so you don't get discouraged
- Free publicity tactics to grow faster
