This job is a little to big for me. It sucks.

Before I start this story I have to just say that I have a full time job and work 60 hours a week. I LOVE scrapping and do it on the side when time permits. Got a call from a very large company asking if I would take all the metal desks and dividers at their company. They can't sell it and want it gone. Said I would come take a look at it. Got there and quickly realized I was in WAY over my head. There was enough to fill a semi 10 times. The company doesn't want anything to do with it themselves, they just want it gone. Can't believe I am actually not going to try this somehow, just don't have the time or the guys.

Shoot me a P.M. If you know anyone in WI that could do this. Must be gone in a week or two.

My problem is the time issue. It is just me. I would have to hire at least 5 guys and with a full time job it's just not feasible for me. maybe I should broker it and take a finders fee.

You would have to take it apart. The desks are all there inside the cubicles. Everything would have to be tore down. I am good friends with a guy that works there and his "guess" is that it would be around $25K. Great, piss me off even more.

Do you have work vacation time? this could be useful for this. No need to tear down, find a yard that will just take it and deduct for wood tops, most do this.

iowa im to far but I love cubie jobs get looks when they see me just kick um down except the good ones that thicker steel hurts lol

I've set up and taken down cubes and I've never seen any you could just kick down. The last ones I dealt with were more wood than anything and very heavy and took time to tear down. Unless you're familiar with how to tear these down quickly and haul them off, I would pass. I'm like you. I have a full time job and scrap on the side. I know one day I'll get a call like you and won't have the time because of my job or it will require manpower and equipment I don't have. Sometimes you just have to know when to walk away.

Heck I'd make the drive and lend a hand if I could.

yea plus reselling that many cubicles you would need one hell of a compound to store them

Some yards, mine included, will accept these items as they are in limited quanities. I would definitely call ahead and make an agreement before showing up at the yard.
