I agree - this is a great ad. Keep it really simple. You can always elaborate if asked. My Craigslist ad and business card/flyer says: "Wanted old computers working or not. Will pickup free. That's it.

Thanks everyone!

@olddude: Sure, feel free to use this

@drozenski: Thanks for pointing out the licensed and insured part. I copied that sentence in full from my lawn care craigslist posts (which I am licensed and insured) and accidentally posted it in this add.

Doing lawn care will be a great FREE marketing strategy for you. Keep some fliers and business cards with at all times. When you do a lawn care service for a client, hand them a flier and business card. Never know, they might have stuff for you while your there!

Looks sharp. I'd call you

I don't know if it helps or hurts me, but I name off all the towns around me within a 30/40 mile radius. My thoughts are if someone googles/searches CL for "scrap pickup boise" or whatever, I am easier to find.
