How do you determine your pickup price sheet?

Free is always better. But your just a small guppy in this big ewaste pond so don't try to pay Ewasted's or PTS's prices or I foresee you going out of business shortly. The key word is your doing the pick-ups. You have time and material invested in getting the ewaste so take that into consideration also. If your picking up from a business, your doing them a service by safely removing their ewaste and recycling it responsibly instead of dumping it in a landfill.

But to answer the actual question, I figure about 10 to 25% of value is plenty as I have my time, gas, vehicle expense invested as mentioned.
