Never said I would charge for that quantity. Reread this part from my post: (Well, unless they really have a LOT!)

I plan to charge based on two variables,

1. Mileage to get to pickup x amount of trips (If you are withing 10 miles I would do it for free. Out side of that I would charge.)

2. A flat rate of $5-$10 just to cover gas which is at (3.75 just this morning)

I also live in town where the nearest cities are 10miles away. I also work in ann arbor to the north east and there is always stuff to be scrapped there!

Just my .02c ....

Hey, James, do you ever do any junk removal jobs? Are you equipped for them? I get calls for Ann Arbor pretty regularly and am looking for someone to sub them out to. PM me please if interested.

I would love to send you a PM, but either it isnt working for me or PM's are only allowed for paying members atm...??? I would be interested in talking to ya when it is convenient for you. I dont do this as a full time work, just part time for now. Evenings and weekends etc.
