    Business question

    Not sure if any members realize originally I was just copperhead (lost password)
    Some members wished me luck when I got a job as a trash-hauler for a rural country trash company
    I still have the job . The pay is not the ultimate but it's each week . I make extra with can's and scrap .
    I figure I'm at the 3 year mark . I have loaded into then out of truck , a long Ton ( 2240 pounds )
    2000 times so you do the math. I go to about 100 customers per day 100 150 miles per day .

    An idea has been going Thu my mind for a wile ,
    to start my own business
    115 customer once a week would net me more then my current pay ,
    A non CDL truck could handle 400 customers with a need to take trash to Dump once per day
    each morning.The dump fees are affordable and a small sum of money from
    house hold recyclables is paid (very little )
    handled proper recyclable weight adds no dump cost .
    Biggest factor - GET CUSTOMERS
    The Question -
    What kind of licensing cost to start a light trash business
    Special insurances
    Incorporation fees
    State cost's
    How do I find out what I need to do ?

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
