SIDE HUSTLE Garbage Cart Opportunities?

[RightyTighty]

My garbage cart disappeared last week. While not a common occurrence, it happens often enough that you see some carts with DIY street numbers on them (usually spray painted, graffiti-looking numbers). I’ve paid more than once to have the stenciled street number on my curb re-painted, but I’ve never heard of anyone offering to paint a nice looking street address on garbage carts. A quick search indicates that stick-on addresses are readily available, but I could find no anecdotal information about anyone anywhere offering to actually paint or apply a street address. Could be a good side hustle for someone.

A quick google search yielded a story about a teen who solicited his neighbors for a subscription service to roll their carts to the curb on pick-up day and return them after they were emptied. Another offered pressure washing carts. There are probably other similar services that could be offered (breaking down boxes?).

I see a good number of FLF posts about various maintenance side-hustles, particularly window washing, but I don’t recall anyone ever commenting on garbage carts/services. It looks like an untapped, low investment market with upsell potential. Has anyone here explored this?

What is your goal and why are you looking for more info?

Do you want to start this service yourself?

These are perfect newbie businesses but they suck to scale.
