To begin

Local rules vary

business, waste, and property rules matter

This is a business only if the route gets dense. A scattered list of yards is just driving with cleanup stops in between; a cluster of repeat customers is where owner pay has a chance. The work is not prestigious, but recurring demand can matter more than prestige if the map cooperates.

Before you lean on it

Do not spend or hire ahead of the route. First prove nearby weekly customers, then check local business, waste, property-access, and insurance rules.
