In my personal opinion, if you're looking to work with investors for your junk hauling business, try this (nearly free) marketing strategy.
1) Build a list of wholesalers and wholesale companies, ideally folks doing at least one deal every month
2) Ask if you could be of service to any of their regular fix and flip buyers. If they aren't willing to share their buyers' list, you could offer to pay something like $50 for the list and most wholesalers would say yes
3) Call these buyers and mention you have a relationship with a wholesaler who has brought them good deals before in the past. See if they would be interested in trying you out as a junk removal company
You could just post on FB groups, but the problem there is that 90% of people will just be wasting your time. Also, you could see if any wholesalers do junk removal before assigning their contracts.
Hope this is helpful for you!
