Make money pressure washing trash cans


Here's a quick video about pressure washing big, plastic trash cans for people, as a side gig or small business.

This is a side gig/small business idea that I learned of recently.  A video I saw about trash can cleaning said people were charging $35 to $65 per trash can to do this.  In upscale areas, like many parts of Southern California, where I live, that seems possible.  In more working class areas, like in this video, more normal, mainstream America, he's talking about $12 a can.  

This is a side gig where you can start small, with one of the cheaper pressure washers, and test the market, before spending more money to build up the business.  If this is interesting to you, do your research, talk to some neighbors, see what they think, and price some pressure washers, if you don't have one. 

Another part of this business is that, if you have a higher quality pressure washer, you can upsell people and pressure wash driveways, patios, decks, and other things.
