Bin full of leaves and a rake

Fall yard cleanup

The fall season brings with it a list of chores and responsibilities. Although changing leaves are beautiful, they create a lot of work once they start falling. For this reason, October is a great time to offer yard care services. All this idea takes is simple flyers, rakes or garden tools, and some elbow grease.

What you'll need Start here
  • Advertisements. Use flyers, letters, and/or emails to spread the word about the yard services you offer and what you’re raising money for.
  • Rakes, or other gardening tools
  1. Decide on the kind of yard work services you will be providing (i.e. raking leaves, pulling out weeds or dead plants, etc.)
  2. Make advertisements that describe your services and how much they cost. You could charge per hour, or get other members of your delegation together and tackle a big project for a flat rate. Hand these out to friends, family, and people around your neighborhood.
  3. Acquire the tools you need to do your job. Your parents might already have the tools to start your cleanup business!
