About
I am a 16 year old entrepreneur that has been making businesses since I was 14. I first started trying to make an online business and a couple others. From those failed businesses I have learned valuable lessons to take into this business. I think I got this from my dad since he has his own business, and I want to do the same thing and start my own.
Part 1:
People want to get rid of things and have too much clutter; especially after spring cleaning.
Part 2:
Junk Monkeys takes all those unwanted items and discards or donates them for those who don't or cannot do it themselves.
Part 3:
Seniors and families- people who have things they can’t put in the trash, people who are hurt and can’t move heavy items out the house to get rid of, home owners and renters, landlords, constructors and renovators.
Part 4:
People will feel better about themselves having a clean and tidy environment that they are around. When I go out and do this, seeing how happy people get after I pick up all the things for them always makes it a good experience.
Next Steps
I need to build better connections with landfills to get lower cost dumping prices. I also need better equipment like gloves, tarps, trailers, and a bigger truck.
