How I’d Get My First Junk Removal Job Today (Facebook Marketplace Method)
If I had to start from zero today with just my pickup truck when I was 18 years old, this is exactly how I’d get my first junk removal job fast. No ads. No website. No overthinking. Literally just Facebook Marketplace. Step 1: Just create a simple listing📋 Go to Facebook Marketplace and post something like; "Junk Removal Services: Same Day Pickup" "I offer junk removal and hauling services. Furniture, appliances, garage cleanouts, yard waste, etc. Fast response and affordable pricing. Message me with pictures for a free quote." Step 2: Use some basic photos, you don't need anything fancy📸 - Your truck or trailer, doesn't even need junk inside. - A few random loading/dump photos if you have them - Even moving items around in your house or stock images of “before/after” if you’re just starting The goal is just to look like it's real, not perfect. Step 3: Respond to messages, and FAST⚡ This is where a lot of people lose money, not just beginners. When someone messages you: - Reply immediately - Ask for photos of what they need removed - Give a quick rough price range - Don’t overcomplicate it You gotta be faster so they don't go looking for others. Step 4: Keep pricing simple🫰 When you’re starting out, don’t try to be perfect. Just quote based on: - small load = low price - medium load = mid price - full trailer/truck = higher price I recommend taking a look at your local landfill or dump station's menu to see what they charge. You’ll refine pricing over time, but the goal early is just to get jobs. Step 5: Close the job✅ Once they agree: - Confirm time - Show up on time - Be professional but simple - Load everything efficiently - Collect payment immediately after That’s it. "Why does this work?"🤔 Facebook Marketplace works because: - People already want junk gone - They’re actively looking for help - It’s local and instant - You don’t need to pay to start getting leads Your first job doesn’t need to be perfect. The goal is literally just:
