What would you pay for this clean out?

Honestly I would charge to move that load .considering going to the yard is a 2 hour round trip alone . Maybe free removal if it's a friend or family member . But don't forget your time,gas,wear and tear on truck .

No idea, but I love that safe. Old school.

Nice conversation piece.

Sirscrapalot - Off to enjoy a sub an a beer.

I saw gold cap ICs...jut sayin.

i couldnt do it for .06 per pound. Only going to get .08 - .10 per pound. Need to double your money minimum. It would be the same 60 miles for them to take it in plus cover the employees wages and gas while he is doing it. Pay cash for the boards and offer free removal on the tin.

So, one of the guys on the committee has his trailer parked there, and I assume will make the 60 mi run to the nearest yard.

Man you do stuff like this and you will be broke the first time you get a flat tire . Call a local cleanup service and get a quote on a truck load . Then ask your self what's a fair price to charge not pay .

Nice. Always think, you of course are right.

Absolutely nothing wrong . You just haven't made your way to your buyer yet . I hope you updated your gps maps lol.

I sounded like my father in my last post , but it's because I care . I didn't realize the amount of money I was spending on gas until after I started delivering full time for a printing company , they paid for gas but I was filling the tank close to 3 times a week. I no longer drive full time but I continue to see the price of gas rise and my routes never get shorter either . The odometer.steadily rises until the next problem does . I would do a job like this one for free for family but any company knows what it cost to get a dumpster on site , but your offering to pay and load think about it.

I only pay for computers and cell phones now . Period my back won't let me touch my wallet if it sees 300lb sony tvs or gigantic printers . In my honest opinion you should charge them at least $100 and that's if you can load in 1 trio in less than one hour alone .

I will buy those boards if you can get them. Part of me wants to call dibs, I love old stuff.

I would tear it all down, and hopefully find some goodies.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As the metallic maniac I would do it all free. Except for the safe. Dump only item. This is the only chargeable item I see . YES THE REST FREE WITH SOME DEMOLITION OR DISMANTLING ALL FREE # IT'S THE MANIAC IN ME. HOWDY DO FOLK

wow your close enough to me if your going 60miles 200or so I would sell you all my scrap for 0.06lb i can keep you in trucks loads all week long lol i am only getting 4clb here and traveling will not happen until I have a huge load of heavy but serious though i guess if you have to pay for it i would do less or maybe like a flat deal on like only the electronics say $20 for everything

Is there any way you could work it around so that you could strip out the wire & copper plumbing before the buildings get knocked down ? There might be some value in the building mechanicals if they haven't been messed with yet.
