I have been hauling scrap for about 20 years and I feel the same way your friend does it is easier to make money at less per ton because I am able to charge people for the removal. I used to have over 50 auto body shops that I would pick up from like once a month to a month and a half at about 200 a shop with prices like they are I have not done a body shop in about 4 years. As well as the homeowner removals that I don't get because I will not pick up for free.
