Turn Your Truck Into an Eco-Truck for Recycling Profits

By Craig Wallin    

You'd like to see your haul-away business make a great profit and do great things for your local community. That's just a part of your value system-making good money, but also doing good things for others. So how could you do that? By turning your truck into an eco-truck. Here's how:
Your truck is your ticket to good money. By starting your own haul-away business you not only get to be your own boss, but have total freedom over your schedule. You can work as little or as much as you'd like. People pay you to haul away unwanted items or debris. How much? After deducting dump fees, fuel costs and vehicle maintenance, the current national average is $53 an hour. Yes, that's right, an hour!
But did you know you could make even more money by recycling items? Many first-time junk haulers don't know that probably half of the items they haul away can actually be recycled or re-sold. Dropping off items at a recycler is a great way to make extra money. As if making $53 an hour wasn't good enough, you can actually make more money by doing this. Not only is it great for your wallet, but it's simply a great thing to do for the environment. There is no reason to clog up landfills with unwanted items that can actually be recycled. It's simply the right and smart thing to do.

More and more people are going green these days. Businesses too. It's a smart idea for businesses to do things for the community, to try to help others. Recycling is the way you can do that. Let your potential customers know that you recycle as many items as you can. They'll be happy to hear their unwanted items and debris aren't just going to a landfill, but instead that an effort is being made to recycle all that can be recycled. Be sure to include this fact on your service sheet and web site or blog. It's simply a great selling point.

Making an effort towards recycling could also help land you in your local newspaper. Newspapers love to cover new businesses, especially ones that do good things for the environment and the community. If your business engages in a lot of recycling, that could be just the angle to get you in the newspaper. Put together a press release that clearly states this fact, and you could find yourself getting a call for an interview before you know it. An article in the newspaper is not only completely free to you, but opens you up to a lot of potential business.

By turning your truck into an eco-truck, your haul-away business could see increased profits and respectability from your local community. It's simply the smart thing to do. To learn more, read Haul It Away, available at: http://extraincomebulletin.com
