Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, more time was spent on learning the best routes, understanding local regulations, and marketing services. As the business became established, time was primarily spent on client work, including picking up and transporting scrap, sorting materials, and selling them. Admin tasks like bookkeeping and scheduling were also necessary. The time commitment varied, with more hours during busy periods or when expanding the client base. Online communities suggest that the time investment can be demanding, especially when starting out, but it can decrease as operations become more efficient.
