Hello Troop 947: Check your email, you will find attached the canister fundraiser flier. Please make as many copies you need of the flier and go to your neighbors. Give them the flier with your name and phone number on it as their reciept. You need to write on the flier the amount and how they paid like cash or check. You will need to make a notebook so that you can put their name, address, how much they paid, date they paid and the day their trash gets picked up. Be sure you have an envelope to gather the money but don't keep alot of money in it to so you don't get robbed.
Keep strict attention to details because if you miss one detail like wrong address then the customer will have a cow.
Let them know we will have it done within 4 weeks.
If you live in a gated community or if you go into one, be sure that you have permission to solicit in that neighborhood. If a neighbor has a dumpter, let them know it will be $40.00. Contact me if you have any questions and keep me posted how many canisters we will clean and what neighborhood.
Good luck! Hal Mortensen

If you did not get the email. Let me know and I will include you on my email mailing list.
ReplyDeleteI had a parent ask me how much to charge to clean the small garbage cans, not the regular canisters with wheels but the smaller sized cans. I suggest asking for $5.00 each. In Logandale, since the trash man only comes once a week, people are allowed to add additional garbage cans next to their canister. Great question!
ReplyDeleteBe sure the scout puts how many cans we will clean each each residence on his record keeping sheet.
