Not trying to be a lazy newbee here asking for all the secrets and not even reading stuff.
Plus I have a pretty good common sense.

I have been recycling mostly appliances lately. Sell to appliance guys, occasionally sell on my own.
Not much of a people guy when it comes to selling. Just seriously despise active aggressive selling.

Anyhow...Good friend and I decided to expand into e-waste. Started advertising on CL and waiting for the first calls.
I understand the concept of trying to get big jobs, but how does one turn down small jobs?

I always picture the call of someone wanting to pick up a single toaster.

Do you straight out ask how much and tell them NO? Do you ask for a small fee, if it is a small amount or do you just take the good with the bad?
Looking at it as a mixed bag?

We have one huge e-waste collector in town. they pay for almost everything. Some only 20 bucks a ton, and printers I think are the only items they only take for free right now.
Otherwise I have not seen much competition and I actually plan on selling to them.
I believe they pick up for free and only pay when you drop off.
Larger accounts they might pay, not sure.

They have the system down pat with mailings, massive cold calling businesses etc.

Anyhow... I just want to make a decent living doing this and am eager to listen and learn.

Thanks in advance.
