Environment: Waste Management Company

If you have passion for cleanliness, you can start a waste management business. Because it is capital intensive, you will need to source for partners after acquiring the business plan.

True to the adage that says “cleanliness is next to godliness”, the relevance of waste management is timeless and fundamental to the daily existence and effective running of any society.

Indeed, smelly gutters, poorly managed and overflooded refuse dumps, garbage-riddled roadways and filthy facilities amongst others, remain the borne of many towns and cities in the country today. As such, you can start a waste management company in your local government area or your State capital by partnering with the State Ministry of Environment.

The company should be able to manage the waste disposed and other sanitation-related problems of the State. Beyond the disposal of waste, the company should also research and investigate all possible channels that can be used to recycle materials like plastic containers, steel, textile and paper products; toys, computers and electronic equipment; used motor oil, tyres; glass batteries and organic materials.

To get the job started, you will need an office where administrative functions can be carried out as well as refuse truck and containers. You should be able to understand the need for proper waste management in order to protect the environment and keep it free from potential health hazard.
The company will also help to create employment opportunities for the youths. Other features include:

· Residential/office cleaning
· Daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly cleaning
· After-party cleaning
· Post – construction cleaning
· Move in/move out cleaning
· Street cleaning

A friend of mine, after graduation, started collecting refuse from his neighbors with his dad’s flat boot. Within a short while, he got them to register with N1000 a month, he soon extended his services to supermarkets, shops, small companies, etc. Today, he is the CEO of Kleenweep Services. He recently discussed a business of N30million with Chevron and has done jobs for other multi-nationals.

 You can be the next millionaire from this business. Think about it!
