    I tend to be pretty practical minded about things. Turn & burn. Bang the job out and get to the next thing.

    Red box .... it's just an obsolete vending machine. Run it to the scrap yard whole and don't waste your valuable time fussing with it.

    It might be bolted down with threaded concrete lags. I would open it up and look down at the four corners on the bottom. You might be able to simply unbolt it. It might be more involved. Something where you use a sawzall or a 4" ankle grinder to cut the fasteners.

    As for what to charge ? The going rate around here seems to be about $ 500.00 - 650.00 for hauling off a truckload of stuff. Sometimes it's a bit less depending on who is doing the job. It might be a day's work from the time you leave the shop till you get back. There's also the value of your truck. They're expensive to own and operate these days. Don't sell yourself short. Profit is not a dirty word.

    Still trying to find out the weight of an actual kiosk. Can't find it online.
