    Thanks all for the great help and replies. Waste Management wants $42.50 for delivery to the sight for a 30 Yard. Service per haul is $146.50. (Should be emptied twice) $7.30 per day rent $5 per mile delivery charge every mile after the first 5 (in my case it would total $40) Total 0f...

    Ever demo'd a double wide trailer?

    Hahahaha thats funny BECAUSE, I am waiting on a callback from WM to find out the cost of two 30 yard roll offs. Already called the rental company and priced out the mini ex for four days! Only thing I missed was the cigar! (I just quit last Jan 1st) Maybe I'll get a stick of gum. Lol Sam

    Ever demo'd a double wide trailer?

    Hey all! Since I started Fly-by-Night debris hauling this spring, I have gotten 4 or 5 calls asking if I can haul off trailers/mobile homes. Have always had to turn em down because all I have is a 1/2 ton with racks, and now a box van with lift gate, AND they usually dont have any paper...

    Tips for new debris removal service?

    Nudder update. Still wondering why I wanted to go into business for myself. Its because I love it. I even love the things I hate about it! About a job a week, hundred or so dollars, ugh. So I bought another truck (that REALLY got the little lady exited) So I had to get a "real"...

    Waste managment does have a couple of large bins, there is one just down the street at a place that is getting a new roof right now. But thats all they will do here is rent to a very few contractors. When I use to buy and rehab houses I bet I called them 4 or 5 times and they NEVER had one...

    This may work. Of course I can adjust to fit actual costs when I know them.

    I started out trying to do it by the hour but the two problems that kept coming up were, 1, I was charging $40 an hour (which covered everything) and everyone said no way. Even the very best paid professionals here could take time off work and do it themselves. Even half of that will not go over...
