Three Bins, $150, No Phone Calls — Built for a PCS Deadline
This plan is built around one bet: that a household in its final two weeks before a PCS move will pay $150 to avoid a trip to the transfer station, not because they can't do it themselves, but because their Saturday is worth more than the fee. It works through the real Geary County numbers — $19 for a load under 500 pounds versus $76 a ton over that — the entire booking system designed around zero phone calls, and the margin math showing roughly $118 gross profit on a $150 job.

Built From Real Numbers
Startup cost is roughly $103 to $205 in Home Depot storage totes against a truck already owned, making this one of the cheapest business models to test — a waitlist question in a local Facebook group before spending a dollar.
Covers the Junction City trash hauler license decision, the on-post solicitation permit question for Fort Riley households, and why the strongest move is bolting this onto a related haul-away or moving line rather than running it alone.
What's Inside
- The three-tier pricing model: one bin ($65), three bins ($150), and a six-bin PCS package ($260)
- A full prohibited-items list for transfer station loads, and the line that prevents a driveway argument
- A no-call booking flow: Google Form intake, QR code on the bin lid, and payment collected at booking
- Local licensing guidance covering hauler licenses, general liability, and on-post solicitation rules
- A job quote and margin calculator built on real disposal fees and payment processing costs
- A bin recovery register to track the asset risk of unattended property
- A route and pickup batching sheet to make the two-trip model profitable
- A load acceptance checklist to run before every collection
