Way to go man. New sub here, been watching for about 6 months since I started my hauling business out here in CA. I still have a lot to learn but you have taught me a lot, so thank you!
Awesome, ive been at it for 10 years and last month was my worst month in 5 years! I did sell $1,400 on ebay so that helped. Hopefully Dec is going to be better
Same for me, as of this year atleast, my previous worst month was May of this year but I was doing the moving part time so it didn't matter much. I want to get into selling on eBay more but it seems like such a pain.
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval ebay is a pain because each item needs a decent listing. Then there is packaging and running them to the post office. IMO It was worth it for high value items or alot of the same items that require one listing.
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval It takes a long time to not throw out valuable things. I still do it myself. Best advice I can give to start is to limit the size of the items to a large shoe box. The hardest part after you figure out what sells is charging the right shipping. I made a few old videos that may give you some ideas but the best guy to watch (even if you cant sit through his long videos is Osborne2thrift and the beardedpicker) there are a few more. Heck maybe I will make a video for beginners soon. I also try not to list anything under $20 and shoot for plus $30
@@Cris_V_00 You are right. I think the way to look at it is per hour pay. Today I listed a signed football for $325. Total time involved is going to be 1 hour. Listing 5 $30 items in a hour with another hour to ship is worth it for most. Its all a numbers game👍
@@Cris_V_00 exactly my thoughts. My dad was really savvy with it 15 years ago, sold A LOT. And my brother used to do it for custom Gameboys he would make. But both things I noticed was the packaging and logistics can be a pain. If it's your full time gig, that's one thing, but as a side selling, I just imagine it would be rough
So a clean out would be like picking up a bunch of small misc stuff like books, decor, paper, trash, etc.. using contractor bags to contain that vs tossing a bunch of loose items into the truck. The charge for the contractor bags is just a cover for that materials that you otherwise need to buy to supplement that job.
I've only gone in 3 attics in all my time of JR. None of them from clean outs though. If you're not comfortable, than say no 🤷 but it may cost you an estimate if its asked of. If they need to hire a second person to do that because you won't then it would probably just be easier & cheaper for them to do someone else who will do both. Why wouldn't you feel comfortable?
Yep if it’s on your truck, it’s yours to do with what you want. Sell stuff, keep stuff if it’s worth it to you, donate stuff if it’s worth donating and you can’t really sell it. Not everything has to go to the dump.
If you think that's bad, you should see what the franchises in my area are charging for a job like this. Where are you based out of & what are your prices?
Decent price..that's ALOT of bulk, multiple trips, landfill fees, gas/mileage, material, labor..AND TAXES..ALOT OF WORK! ..and it cost. I'm in Texas, and that is a fair price for that gig.

Nice! Glad you find it helpful. Message me on IG, let me know how things are going

Glad you landed the job! Good finds, good pay..let's gooo!!💯👍🏼👍🏼
Big help for December to kick things off

Do you throw everything away
No we don't. We donate quite a bit if external factors don't interfere, Scrap metal that isn't donatable, etc..
How do you price out bagging up items? Im trying to figure that out with my business
hourly that exceeds the amount given for the load size
Do you require payment before loading? Before leaving the job site?
Only at end of job. if I'm having to go back the next day than I take payment for the work done each day.
When you say “clean up” what are you referring to? Isn’t the whole job a clean up. Just curious with the up charge on the contractor bags

The charge for the contractor bags is just a cover for that materials that you otherwise need to buy to supplement that job.
How often do you have to go into attics when you do these jobs? Can you say no to attics and crawl spaces if you don’t feel comfortable doing that?
I've only gone in 3 attics in all my time of JR. None of them from clean outs though.

Why wouldn't you feel comfortable?
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval I don’t want to step in the wrong place and do damage or something. Just not 💯 comfortable with it.
@@BigRigJeffro just be careful
Do you re sale at all
When first starting out, how does one know how many trailer loads a cleanout will take? Just guess?
I have some recent pricing videos that'll give you some ideas. Never just guess.
Try to do it room by room based on the volume of your truck.
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval Thank you.
Is that 499 a load?
It was my full load price at the time. It's a bit more now.
What if customer decides not to pay what to do?
@@uidr you could always go to small claims court.
Good stuff man
Thank you
How many loads?
I think it was 3 total
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval what size trailer do you have?
@@mixedberries4937 6.5x12
Get it!
Appreciate it!
This vid was very entertaining
I feel like dragging a job out over a few days is not the best way.
I agree
Omg that's allot of stuff do you get to keep the things they throw away 😅😅 sry new to your channel ❤
Sometimes if I find value in it or it's a cool little piece. But majority is donated or scrapped, and leftover is disposed of
Yep if it’s on your truck, it’s yours to do with what you want. Sell stuff, keep stuff if it’s worth it to you, donate stuff if it’s worth donating and you can’t really sell it. Not everything has to go to the dump.
You charged $2k+ to clean this place out? If so you ripped this guy off badly
How do you figure that? Where would you be at?
If you think that's bad, you should see what the franchises in my area are charging for a job like this. Where are you based out of & what are your prices?
@@clutterreductionjunkremoval definitely a very fair price for the job for sure.
Decent price..that's ALOT of bulk, multiple trips, landfill fees, gas/mileage, material, labor..AND TAXES..ALOT OF WORK! ..and it cost. I'm in Texas, and that is a fair price for that gig.
2k is more than fair
