If it just a small job of course I can't charge a day rate. The smaller pickups I make have to be convienient. My rate is for clean out or demo for someone that needs more than an item or two. I look at these types of jobs as an opportunity to get my name out and a few flyers. My last pick up turned out real well lots of computers and he went into the garage and cleaned out every scrap of metal. It ended up being a $200 bonus on top of the electronics.
When I go out on a smaller job I always get some flyers out and ask them to talk to neighbors.
