Given that the largest source of man-made debris is Chinese, I don't see that happening.

Why would I pay a cleaning company instead of spending a lot less money on moving the satellite into a graveyard orbit before it runs out of propellant?

Because accidents will start to become more common, and the more stuff we keep putting up there, more often they will occur.

or don't, and leave it there?
