11-year-old boy's trash-bin cleaning business goes viral

Ashton Meyer, 11, from East Gwillimbury, Canada, started a trash-bin cleaning service charging $10 per bin.

He gained over 111,000 Instagram followers in two months and up to 40 clients.

His business succeeds amid the hardest summer job market for teens since 1948, per Fortune.

Meyer films door-to-door visits and posts on Instagram and TikTok to promote his service.

He advises other kids to find unmet needs, keep prices low, and persist after rejection.
