I saw a Facebook advertisement for a service that will take your trash cans out (and return them) for a monthly fee. Initially, I thought this was a crazy idea — who would pay for such a simple task — but the more I thought about it, I realized that there are many people for whom taking the bins out may not be easy. This service can assist elderly or disabled people who live independently, and it may work for people who travel frequently and aren’t home to do it themselves.
The ad lists several other reasons for engaging them: you don’t have to go out in the cold, you don’t have to remember to take them out, and it’s one more thing off your to-do list. Who knew that taking out the trash had so many implications?
The premise of the Bin Buddies service is that someone else will do something you don’t want to do. For example, there are services to pick up dog poop, hang Christmas lights, maintain pools, or exterminate pests. Think about what else falls into that category that you could do for others. For me, it would be wrapping presents! Maybe you could have a side hustle by scanning old photos, airing out campers, or putting away the holiday decorations. If you’ve got time, someone else probably will pay you to save them theirs.
Wow so simple and yet here you go a side hustle with little or no investment.
