Overview
- Kyle Newby launched Pet Poo Pick last March after noticing the U.S. trend on Instagram and a simple Facebook advert quickly brought in work.
- He charges £30 for the first visit and £15 per week thereafter, which he says adds up to about £2,000 a month.
- The workload is roughly 12 hours across two days, with each garden taking about 10–15 minutes as he moves through routes in the East Midlands.
- He collects waste with a scoop, disinfects lawns, and offers optional mowing for customers who struggle with longer grass.
- Newby holds a waste carriers licence, has travelled up to 50 miles for jobs, is fielding enquiries from Liverpool and County Durham, and is praised by customers such as Peter Fisk who needed help after a broken leg.
