This question has been asked a few times, to me and probably you or someone you know if they into space haha. The thing is, while space debris is unlikely to affect space travel, it will lead to significant problems for spaceflight around Earth. The risk would be highest for objects orbiting at an altitude of around 1,000 kilometres (620 miles), which is used for communications and Earth observation.

So whos going to clean up and make money off this as a side gig? We are. $RKLB

Jahoosh_ from stocktwits pointed out that this could be a cash cow machine and we could be like $WM Waste Management in LEO- Low Earth Orbit. $RKLB
