Often times a contractor or landscaper may need temporary help with a particular job, but not have enough work to hire a full time crew so they hire a temporary person. Gig labor is different from a temp service in that there is no third party agency between you the worker and the guy needing your labor help. I found my gig labor jobs on Craigslist.

Earn extra cash pressure washing restaurant hood systems. Restaurants and food facilities are required to periodically have their hood systems cleaned. A hood system is a fire suppression canopy, exhaust fan and duct work located above the cooking equipment. Over time the restaurant cooking grease builds up and the material must be removed. The national fire code requires periodic cleaning to reduce the fire hazard. This can be a side hustle because the restaurants usually have it done at night time when the restaurant is closed.

Junk is something that everyone accumulates. Eventually that junk has to be hauled off and junk removal can be a profitable side job. Here is how to get started. As always, you will need equipment and customers. For equipment you will need a truck, dollies and tools. For the truck a used pickup will work. Eventually you may want to add a trailer or upgrade to a flatbed. I suggest both a four wheel dolly and a two wheel dolly or hand truck. The tools required will include a sledge hammer, saws, pry bars, wrenches, cordless drill, screwdriver and box cutters. You will also want straps for securing the junk being hauled off.
