How did your business come to be?: I am 12 years old and I wanted to earn some extra money so my mom suggested I start a business that provides a service for something people don't like to do themselves. She suggested poop scooping for dogs, but didn't want to do that so I came up with the idea of taking people's trash and recycle out the night before trash day and back in after pick up. That is my chore at home so I was already good at it.
