It's feasible.
Can you hire a guy for $2500 a month and get him to bring in $5000 a month for you? That's the name of the game. $250 a day in revenue 20 days of the month is all you need. Then, get another, and another, and another, etc. It's a lovely game of math. $2000/mo profit per employee x 5 employees, or 10, or 30, or 500. An amazing thing happens when you create a system like that. You start to think in different terms. I don't think about money the same anymore. I think about buying things in terms of "crews". Each crew of my company brings in over $60-$70 grand a year. I just think "Okay I only need 4 crews for this next spring, that's an additional 160 customers added to what we have now. Easy peasy". It's scary to think "make a million in a single year". But when you think "find 1,500 people in a city of 250,000 that need their lawn mowed on a regular basis", it becomes incredibly easy. Maybe you make a 50% profit on each employee and each apartment complex you sign up brings you $2500 a month in profit. Now you just have to find 10-20 apartment complexes that want to signup. That's all it takes to be approaching the top 1% of income.
One of the opportunities in services is paying close attention to the arbitrage of value and cost and being creative about it. When that happens, you can get $15/hr workers performing $200/hr work and not even hating their job.
It's all about combining math, your gut instinct, and evidence of what there's actual demand for. You get some customers, see how it goes, listen to your gut, run some numbers and adjust your business to be as profitable, scalable, low-maintenance and successful as possible.
The issue with this idea of yours would be that there is no wiggle room for creativity. You pick up the garbage and you move it. You can only increase the speed.
My advice is to keep a very open mind when it comes to trying different services, but a very closed mind when other broke idiots try to tell you how to run them. Remember, if you listen to others' advice, you will be like them. Break the rules and trust your gut. I've been told a thousand times in a thousand ways HOW my type of business SHOULD be run. I politely ignored everything.
