Interesting that Gregory Goffredo got out of the trash business. Similar to what Garbageman has been alluding to, i.e waste management has been increasingly less profitable as a small business and less lucrative for LCN generally speaking.
That's pretty much it, theres no money in it unless you lowball and/or cheat...so why bother? The days of getting steady work are over. Most of the big nationwide companies have all the chain store contracts and mini-malls are all managed by the same type national accounts brokers so it's useless to even attempt a small operation nowadays unless you've got massive construction connections and even then, nothing is guaranteed. The only way yo profit real money is to own trucks and either a landfill or a transfer station. Good luck on opening either one of those in this area. The permit process alone would break the average person's life savings.
We've essentially been over regulated right out of business by the tri-state area's penchant for sustaining their government jobs under the guise of "rooting out" organized crime that just doesn't exist enough to justify government entities like the Business Integrity Commission in NYC, or BIC, the NJ A901 division and their FBI background checking processes which can take up to 1 year.
Sanitation services isnt rocket science. It's pretty much taking shit from one hole to another and the goal is to salvage as much recyclable materials as you can from what you haul. Like I said, you need a transfer station or a landfill operation to do that, and the costs are so prohibitive that only millionaires can afford to do it legally according to the regulations and guidelines. To me, you pickup a 30 yard dumpster, dump it in your yard, pick out the wood, metal, paper, cardboard, high grade plastics and whatever else you can sell and bury the rest or burn it. God forbid! With the food waste, you tell the customer to separate it and you bring that back to your farm and feed your animals with it. If its straight fruit and vegetables you can literally dump it straight into a feed bin. If theres meat and fish mixed it, you cook it in a giant cooker that you build yourself using creativity and ingenuity. That will never happen up here though. Anyway....end rant
You'd be the one to comment on this from a certain perspective, and correct me if you don't think this is the case, but it seems most of the mob presence today involves hauling debris from demolition, construction, excavation, etc.
I wouldn't really know, other than to take a guess. Since my ordeal I've grown a beard, moved and changed my phone numbers. Anyone I associated with then went their way and I went mine. I run a farm now. Wear overalls and am looking into taking up chewing tobacco as a hobby
