  • How Jason Proctor Built a 10-Truck Bin Cleaning Business From Scratch
    Jun 18 2026

    What does it take to build one of the most established bin cleaning companies in North America?

    In this episode of The Route to Revenue, Ben McGee and Mike Walker sit down with Jason Proctor, founder of Canology, to discuss how he launched his business in 2016 before most people had ever heard of bin cleaning as an industry. What started as an idea discovered during a family trip to the UK has grown into a multi-truck operation serving thousands of customers across Northern California.

    Jason shares the realities of building a recurring revenue business from the ground up, including the challenges of creating demand for a service nobody knew existed, investing in customer acquisition, developing custom software, and building systems that support long-term growth. He also explains why marketing comes before almost everything else and why many operators underestimate the time and commitment required to scale successfully.

    Whether you're building a bin cleaning company, lawn care business, pest control route, pool service operation, or any recurring revenue home service, this conversation is packed with practical lessons on growth, persistence, systems, and entrepreneurship.

    Building a recurring revenue business takes more than equipment and hard work. It requires patience, systems, customer acquisition, and a willingness to keep moving forward when growth feels slower than expected. Jason's journey is proof that long-term success often comes from consistently doing the right things over time, even when the industry is still trying to figure itself out.
