How can I go about asking to clean construction sites?
Asked by Moonlight
I heard that you can get paid about $700 per site to clean up after workers doing construction. Has anyone done this before. What does the job entail? Is it very strenuous (I'm not that strong)? Who do I go to and ask about this position? I'd feel stupid just walking up and asking the workers.

Best Answer:
Just go to the site and ask to speak with the general contractor and they will point you in the right direction. If the general is there he may or may not hire you but your odds are better if you talk to him first and than look his company phone number up and call the office and ask them to. They are the ones that hire subcontractors for the entire job and they will be looking for somebody to clean up the job eventually. If they have someone tell them you will do it for less money and you will get the job. Make sure your have the proper license if required.

Put on your best daisy dukes, a hard hat, sports bra and boots, don't forget the yellow vest then walk into the job trailer or ask for the foreman... tell him you want to clean his sight and you are sure to be hired on the spot!!

There isn't much construction going on now, but if you find an active site, look for the project superintendent and ask. The job usually involves the final cleaning of the building prior to occupancy. You can also contact the construction company by letter, best if sent by Fed Ex. Call and find out who does the hiring of cleaning crews.

Construction clean up is usually handled by a subcontracted company. I'd suggest finding a job with a clean up subcontractor. It will pay hourly, but this will get you into the industry so you can build up your own contacts and possibly strike out on your own later.
