A Houston teen gains a social media following for his flourishing 'Garbage Kid' trashcan cleaning business.
"First I thought it really wouldn’t be that hard to clean [trashcans]," said 13-year-old Anthony Gonzalez. "That changed as soon as I saw the first one."Gonzalez calls his business "The Garbage Kid." The young teenager charges customers $10 per trashcan and is a perfectionist. He says it takes him about 30 or 40 minutes to clean one can.
Marketing is part of the job too. Gonzalez created a Facebook page for his work called "The Garbage Kid". Over the last few weeks, Gonzalez estimates he has cleaned more than 50 garbage cans. He regularly posts before-after pictures to the Facebook page. "One of the trashcans I did smelled like my dog when it comes back [in] from outside," said Gonzalez. "Definitely not a good smell.""What I did was mowed lawns," said Chris Moreno, a customer. "To me, [Anthony’s work] reminds me of myself, but I didn’t go to that extent. He’s taking it extra, and he’s working hard. The most respect I can give, I give to that kid. Not even adults would want to do that [job].
In addition, he loves playing baseball, the Houston Astros, and Jose Altuve. The teen says if Altuve hears about his business, he’d offer his cleaning services for free.To learn more about Gonzalez’s Garbage Kid business, click
