I like the flat rate though because there will never be any issues as to what I'm taking or not taking. I'll do this for this amount and that's it. The maintenance guys need something to do. Takes me about 10 minutes per machine to rip them down, so I think it's a pretty good arrangement for me. I live in a condo, so I run to my cousin's shop, rip stuff down real quick throw stuff in a big blue tote run to the yard and I'm done for the day. My dad strips the wire and tears down the motors and vacuum cleaners and stuff. He likes doing it so we split whatever I get in copper 50/50. He likes TV's after he actually really ripped one down.

Yeah, I used not to charge at all for metal pickups, but now I do. Just depends on quantity and location for me, and how much actual work is involved from the time I arrive, till I leave.
