I guess when I say hay day -
yes the economy might of been going hard but
I remember curb stuff earned something not $275 a GT
but over $55 a GT so for me back then that was enough to spark interest .
I remember bringing in 900 # and getting $80 or there abouts .
Trip after trip it's just a big fog of memory
My job now is a Trash man
about 4000# total a day . 2 loads @ 1800 # to 2000 # in a pickup truck transfered to a big truck
or some days a dump 1900# cost $70 to dump last load
I try to reduce weight for my boss but this is house hold trash
still if each bag was opened I bet I could cut weight by 35%
some times it's just too fast a pace .
Cold - wet - smelly - hot out - No matter the weather I do it .
actually trash is lucrative Id like to know the start up cost .
