This is incredibly helpful, thank you. “time is your currency” reminder and the focus on communication and transparency, we’ll keep it on top of mind. Love how you’ve built referrals and community impact in from day one, and hearing real numbers from your first few weeks is eye-opening. Truly appreciate you sharing this.
Glad it has helped, now fast forward to month seven. :) Still going strong and have shifted some terminology. Like removed junk removal from our conversations, why you ask? Because if you have a $150 jacket that you no longer want and you call it junk how much is it worth? $0 if my team shows up to remove that $150 jacket that we all are calling junk it has 0 value to us, you are anyone. There is no friction no, so to the landfill it goes. Now we are a material recovery company. We recover material, in this example you no longer want your $150 jacket and you call us. We say we will recovery that jacket and once we arrive we inspect it and see the value still in it. We then take it to one of our donation partners. Now we just had a job that recovered material you no longer wanted, was able to get it into someone elses hands that could need it, or someone that will create memories with it, and we have diverted it from the landfill. Now for some data since that is what drives us and many others. 2026 YTD we have recovered over 16.6 tons of material! .4% of material has been reduced (never left the location). 46.1% of that material has been reused (donated into our donation partnership network). 31.8% of that material has been recycled and only 21.7% of that material actually reached the landfill. Every client gets a report at the end of the job that shows how much material was collected, where it went and how a lot more information for them. We are disrupting this industry and have set the standard higher than it has ever been.
