Trash Express

Your Waste Collection Business Franchise Opportunity

Trash Express Ltd, a part of the FSUK group, has been established for over 20 years. Run by a team of specialists, Trash Express recognises the urgent need for refuse colection and provides the support your business needs to thrive. Due to fantastic growth, Trash Express is expanding further with this exciting franchise opportunity! We only have a limited number of designated areas available, so if you're in the market for a fantastic income and a secure future, with both part time or full time opportunities, read on!

The Market

It's a fact that rubbish is big business. With national press and news programmes covering the tremendous need for refuse collection as local governments increase the cost of collection and decrease the amount collected, Trash Express is in business in a thriving marketplace. You will have an unlimited customer base and an unlimited amount of rubbish and repeat business!

 Trash Express provides the solution for the extra rubbish that sits there, smelling and waiting to be collected. With bags of grass to throw away in the summer and Christmas rubbish up by 60%, all this rubbish needs to be collected -- and in a timely fashion! Larger items, such as fridges, sofas and cookers all cost extra to remove, and small companies cannot afford to pay for a commercial company to take it away.

This means repeat business is plentiful, and that's the key to success!

How Trash Express Works

Trash Express GoldWe supply you with everything you need to run your own local refuse collection service, in your own designated area. We even supply start-up customers, who want you to remove their rubbish, proving this is an important service. Once you are set up with your new Trash Express business, you can simply call the customers we supply you with and they will buy bags for filling and leave them outside for you to pick up on the days you arrange. Once they run out of bags, they will buy more from you -- and there will often be bigger items to remove as well.

You can choose to work a few part-time hours, making a few hundred poounds a week, or go full-time, expanding your business by handing out leaflets we supply you and getting recommendations from existing customers. Trash Express also supplies a full sign written leased tipper van, advertising for you as you go about your daily routine. We also supply the first year's advertising free of charge, saving you £600. And we have options you can choose from, including supplying you with more customers!

The commercial side of the business is important too, as small companies find Trash Express' services ideal beucase you undercut everyone's prices. It's up to you whether you watn to expand and earn hundreds or thousands with your new franchise opportunity!

Trash Express is Green!

We fully support recycling, so we also supply recycling aides to assist in this process. By supplying stylish can crushers and bins, you make it easier for people to recycle. You can get up to 400 crushed cans in a small bin, and if you take these away free of charge, you can get paid to dispose of them! This is another way to earn extra cash, while also helping the environment.

Testimonials
 

"Just thought I'd let you know how my first day went. The beauty salon in Walton Road has signed up for four bags to be collected every week so that is a good contact. The Kensington community centre have agreed for me to collect 25 bags every Monday morning so that is a great contract! Unfortunately C.Roberts did not require my services, but we can't win them all. So all in all, a good first day." - Stephen Bell
