The Yard Sign Formula That’s Bringing in $8K–$12K/Month for Junk Removal Pros

It’s peak season for junk removal companies, so I’m seeing yard signs – a lot. And I can’t help but cringe and feel sorry for the person who spent their hard-earned money on 50+ of these.

If you want your yard signs to bring in real business, here’s what’s proven to work:

Keep It Ridiculously Simple

You’ve got 2–3 seconds to grab attention. Stick with short, clear messages like:

“Need Junk Gone?”

“Same-Day Junk Removal”

“Junk Gone Today

“We Take Everything”

Avoid listing all your services.

No one has time to read all that. Just one powerful message is all you need.

Use Bold, High-Contrast Colors.

Color combos that have been proven to work:

1. Black text on yellow – best converting
2. White text on red
3. White text on navy
4. White text on black

Use bold, all-caps, sans-serif fonts. No fancy scripts. Clarity wins.

Make Your Contact Info Big and Clear

Your phone number should be the biggest element after your main message.

Place Signs Where They’ll Get Seen

Best spots include:

• Busy intersections
• Outside current job sites
• Near dumps or transfer stations
• Neighborhood exits after bulk trash days
• Avoid placing signs in empty lots or gated communities unless you’re actively working there.

Spare yourself the wasted time and avoid:

🚫Cramming in every service you offer

🚫Shrinking your phone number

🚫Using low-contrast colors

One junk removal pro drops 50 signs a month and consistently pulls in $8–12K.

“Call Now, Junk Gone Today” outperformed the others by 40%.

If you’re going to invest the time and money, make sure they’re doing the heavy lifting for your business. Keep the message short, the design bold, and your contact info impossible to miss.

Simple signs. Clear message. Strong results.
