    I don't charge, the way i look at it is there helping me out, and i'm helping them out. Plus why charge people that are giving you money?
    but i dont have to remove the freon either, so if i did, i would probably want to charge!

    if you sit down and look at your costs associated with picking it up and then how much you made off it, after a while you will see the reasoning

    george i know that you run a business and all, but i deal with a lot of friends and family. i pick up most time form and to work. i know sometimes i might lose but its about word of mouth for me. i rather people say he was free, then he charged. i do always have more money coming in then i do spend each month or i wouldn't be doing this.

    I will do it free for my friends and family too, but I still charge for gas. That isnt cheap. Even if you charged a little something, and provided a great service, they would still talk about you.
