Owner Operator for Garbage Collection?

I did some asking around about your question. In this area most of the garbage contracts...residential and industrial...are awarded to companies on a bid basis. I don't know how often they bid or what they make but the same people have been doing the work ever since I can remember.
We looked into a contract for our end dumps hauling rubble from a huge demolition site to the local landfill. The tipping fee for our loads would have been five times what the normal tipping fee was. The same company that owned the landfill also did trucking and brokering.

 

Maybe some other state than the one I live in. I doubt if you'd get through the permitting process for less than a couple of million and even at that you'd be watched by so many different governmental agencies that it would drive you nuts.
Plus, if they found one speck of anything they considered hazardous, and that means anything not specifically cited in your permit, they'd shut you down.
Nah, no thanks. I'll run a few cows, grow a little rice, and keep a few almond trees instead. That's not as apt to give me ulcers.
