109 attic cleanouts!

Went to look at the job today. It turns out all the units are in four different buildings, and there are four large attics that go the space of the buildings. There are a lot of locked storage cubicles that have been abandoned, and that's what they want cleaned out. It's very large and airy, though hotter because it's on the 4th floor. There's virtually no refuse, so I don't think I'm looking at much for disposal. Probably most of it could go to the local goodwill that's about 5 blocks down. Normally I would only charge for disposal if I'm actually paying disposal fees. Do you think I should charge something anyway? The lady seems to think it will take us a week just to do one, but I'm pretty sure we could do in 2-3 days tops. She said the other three weren't as full. She wants a set price, but I took the advice on here, and asked if I could do one hourly and disposal-based, and then set a price for the others.

Why do it for free? It is your time being spent. I would charge something, even if you get a lot of resellable items.
