You see, so many people are wearing themselves out, running in circles trying just to make a good living and have enough time to enjoy life.

 

It’s exhausting trying to keep up with bills and living expenses.

 

But imagine for a moment, that you FINALLY find a way that you can have freedom, extra cash, and most importantly, the TIME to actually do what you love! It might sound impossible to you, but you just need to look at the right, untapped niches. This is how I created my wealth: Like they say: the riches are in niches.

This is the course we wish we had when we started our business 12 years ago.

We spent the first several years just boot-strapping everything: learning by trial and error, creating solutions, developing tech, failing and regrouping. That process alone was an education, and we can pass all the benefits on to our students! We’ve already created a successful system that has been put through the test of time: refined and adjusted over the years to tackle new problems as they arise. With the Waste Academy you can start day 1 lightyears ahead of where we were when we first started. On top of that, you can have continuous support! There is no reason for you to reinvent the wheel!

You will learn:

  • Why the trash industry is actually a very SEXY business. Hint: it’s recession proof! After all, there’s always Trash.
  • How to create a niche for yourself in the waste industry without buying expensive equipment
  • The differences, benefits and drawbacks of the franchise markets and the open markets
  • Different types of residential waste services and the problems that customers face, so you can create win-win solutions
  • How we analyze invoices to implement more efficient and cost effective waste programs for our clients
  • How to help waste customers solve their problems
  • How to Identify and correct billing errors that cost waste customers a lot of money
  • How to assist residential and commercial waste customers implement greener waste programs
  • How to coordinate other service industries to create a high-end waste program for residential and commercial waste customers
  • How to group residential waste customers together to get maximum program development and cost savings
  • How to use our proprietary tech platforms to automate and simplify billing and customer service
  • How state and local regulations and sustainability goals can create consulting opportunities for school districts and state and local government entities and private businesses.
  • The importance of creating value for your clients
  • What it means to be a waste expert and how to get there

 

In short, you’ll learn everything that you need to know in order to become your own boss and create a REAL business that not only blesses your family, but also the community. Trash might sound boring and unconventional, but for those that catch the vision, the possibilities are endless!

We can’t wait to show you why trash can be your new treasure! We’ll see you on the other side!

Hey, I’m Josh

Growing up in a family of contractors, I saw first hand how hard my grandpa, dad and uncle worked running their own construction business. I always admired their hard work and dedication and the successes they achieved. After college, I thought I wanted to join the family construction business. However, it didn’t take long for me to realize that construction just wasn’t the business for me.

 

I moved on to a sales job, where I learned a lot, but that entrepreneurial dream was still in me. So, I started looking for opportunities when a friend of mine told me about a mail-order class he had taken on waste brokering. I was really interested and immediately saw the vision of how I could bring the sales skills I had developed in my job as well as the relationships I had built together to help launch this new business venture.

This course is about how we created a successful business in the waste and recycling industry. Traditional waste and recycling services for both residential and commercial waste customers is a very “old school” approach, leaving customers with a bland service that continues to cost more and more every year! You can create value for waste customers in both the residential and commercial waste and recycling industry by implementing creative solutions. We’ve built an entire business doing just that. We’ve also helped cities, counties, and other public sector entities meet and exceed their waste and recycling goals.

Twelve years later, we have a thriving, cutting-edge waste business, and we want to help others launch their waste businesses. We know how big this industry is, and we truly believe there is so much room for other entrepreneurs out there to have success in the waste and recycling industry. We can’t wait to help you get started, you’re NEXT!
