    Over the years I have learned what it takes to make money hauling trash.....It all depends what type of material it is, how easy it is to acess the material and of course how much material there is......If you really don't need the job bid high......If you need the work bid low enough to get the job but still make money.....Any estimates over the phone that I give I always let the customer know that I can only give a rough estimate until I see the actual job.....I also let them know that any extra work or material than we originally discussed is extra.........You will become more comfortable giving estimates as time goes along.......I used to haul trash for a small profit margin just to get myself started but as you build your cash reserves you can pick and choose jobs and charge what you want when you really don't need work...........Anyways I hope this all helps
