I had the same problem with them. I try to stay away from even talking about working with them since I would call them every name in the book.

Sorry to Raven for going subject for a little while there.

That's where getting into ewaste comes in handy. Easier to handle, store, breakdown, unload, and you don't get hurt as often.
If you have a pickup full of ewaste broke down you could have 1,000-2,000 dollar load, hard to do that with a steel load.

Apparently things have changed. Or they're different here.

They sucker you in with those ""only $29.95/day" signs, then slap this fee, that tax, mileage fee, hard-sell insurance... It's a racket!

Oh, and if you don't bring it back full, and they have to go RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the 7/11, they charge you a $30 service fee and like 6 bucks a friggin gallon for what gas they do put in.

If everything didn't die we would of taken it to the scrap yard...Also with things around here you take what you can get.. They also wanted to charge 600 dollars for a 18 wheeler to come out and get it... when prices were 30 a ton...so before you go assuming things you should consider there are other factors to the side of the story that is none of your business...

Whoa. Chill. YOU started this thread, YOU stated no money was to be made from this removal, what the heck kind of replies did you expect? Obviously someone was going to ask WHY no money was to be made and heck, *I*even wondered why you stored this much and never took it in. If you got it INTO your backyard you could find a way to get it OUT.

Well then maybe YOU ought to not start out on a forum as a newbie telling people off which is what you did. You are what? 18 or 19 years old? Kinda hard to tell from your stilted posts which, by the way, contain quite a few grammatical mistakes.

As I said earlier, YOU took the first shot. Post on this forum with respect or don't post at all.

It's a forum no one is hurt by the comment but you..
