To pay someone to pick up your dog’s poop. Geez.

I know a guy in Texas that pays for that service.

It would sell well here. No one mows their own grass or shovels their own snow anymore. And the high school kids don't do it either.

Oh no, they’re here here in Boise as well, at least in the neighborhoods being over run by Californians.

Silver Valley transplants don’t take advantage of those services?

Hell nah. My people are thrifty (a.k.a. cheap!)

Someone interested in this line of work in Saskatchewan ought to try to score the phone number (474) 587-7448.

When I was in college with roommates with dogs, we paid for that service. Was hard to keep the yard clean with 3 people not wanting to clean up each other’s dogs mess. $2 a day for 3 dogs is what it came out to be. Ive wasted more money in one order at a bar than a few months worth of poop pickin up.

Talked to the owner/poop scooper, quite a genius business model. Once it was cleaned up weekly, it took him 5 minutes to clear the yard. He dropped the waste bag into his customers dumpster. Ran his route through a specific neighborhood each day so his stops were close by. Working half days, 5 days a week, guy was netting $100k a year. If you’re willing to do the work and pick up poop, theres a surprisingly huge market for it. And yes in CA. But people pay to get their horse stalls mucked all across the US n no one bats an eye.

My wife seriously considered starting a business doing this and walking dogs. Hitting $100K is not a high bar - think about the folks spending $25-$30 a day for boarding, so their dog's poop is scooped and the dog walked once a day. Now that so many folks have corona-pups, this pencils out really fast.

Yup its just getting over the whole “i pick up poop” for a living thing. Tried to talk my wife’s sister into it when she ran into hard times. I even ran the numbers conservatively and broke $100k easily part time. Initial startup cost is under $100 if you own a car already…. Not sure why kids arent lining up to do this. Could be debt free by age 21 with a nice house n truck if they start at 16. Boarding or walking pets is a whole different ball game that people pay much much more for the service.
