Haha, no elevators (I wish) If Goodwill doesn't take it, Salvation Army is on the next corner. A lot of it is christmas stuff. It's all small stuff because it had to fit in the cubicles which weren't very big. The biggest thing I saw was a stuffed chair. It's just going to be labor-intensive because it's up and down 4 floors. I'm just curious what other people would charge for disposal. That town's charge is $3 a day plus $5 per load for any load under 1 ton.
The very least I would charge is $8 per load plus your travel expenses ( fuel and daily lunch $$ ). Also I would estimate how many hours the job would take to finish completely then use that figure ( number of hours ) x ( the minimum you have to make per hour to pay your bills ). For example 30 hrs @ $10/hr plus $8 per load plus fuel and daily lunch expense. This is just my opinion. 30 hrs @ $10 = $300 if it takes 15 loads hauled away = $120 plus your fuel and lunch money. Estimate the mileage from the job site to the landfill or Goodwill (whichever is farther). Using the average MPG of your vehicle x total miles = Your Fuel Cost , Then add $5 per day for lunch.
30 hrs @ $10/hr = $300
15 loads (or what ever your estimate is) x $8 per load = $120
Total Miles Round trip from job site to landfill and back , divided by your vehicle's MPG x the price of fuel = ??? too many variables
$5/ Day for lunch = ??? ( if it takes 6 days to complete the job your lunch money would = $30 )
Add these four things together to get the total for the job ( As a MINIMUM )
This is what I would do, even if I were to sell 50% of the items removed. Your time is valuable (at least mine is) for this reason alone, I never do a job completely free.
I hope this gives you some idea of how much to charge the customer. (or at least that is how I would do it) GOOD LUCK! Peace Out.
