If it just a small job of course I can't charge a day rate. The smaller pickups I make have to be convienient. My rate is for clean out or demo for someone that needs more than an item or two. I look at these types of jobs as an opportunity to get my name out and a few flyers. My last pick up turned out real well lots of computers and he went into the garage and cleaned out every scrap of metal. It ended up being a $200 bonus on top of the electronics.
When I go out on a smaller job I always get some flyers out and ask them to talk to neighbors.
I'm still on the pot about this so I know it's either chit or get off the pot lol. But it's one of those things that I don't want to under charge and I don't want to over charge for now what I was thinking of doing was sending flyers out in the mail by me I live in a very rural area where we have to bring our garbage to the dump so what I was thinking is put out a flyer saying I charge 2.00 a bag and that I will go to the dump 3 day per week that kinda thing just to get my feet wet.
Here is a link to really get you guys thinking. What if you had the land to turn all those wooden furniture into valuable compost? Hell even the plastic looks like it can be broken down now. Microbes are the ****! Your old sofa - and much more - could be composted, say scientists (The University of Manchester)

Burly has a great approach to pricing. Also you need a min. charge in ma. I charge min. $75 you will be surprised how many people will pay $75 to dispose of a love seat . I get $100 for a couch . Also I have a 10 yard dump trailer I charge $275 to drop and they fill , then I haul . Usually under 1ton so I pay $75 dump fee . I make $200 to drive an hour . If I do junk removal me loading I get $200 half trailer and $375 whole trailer . Sometimes I do a whole trailer and the strap a couch on top extra $100 . Burly is right you must look professional and don't barter for junk . You are going to get it anyway so get paid . Never back off on your prices esp. If you feel like it is reasonable . Also a lot of my single item pickups go straight to goodwill dump charge $0 . Check out my setup and my website which is a must for junk removal . The more reputable you look the more you can charge . The look of success sells . The customer that doesn't care is a customer you don't want .
I know this is kind of awkward as this thread has been here for a very long time. Scrap is obviously junk and I thought it would be best to ask this query here. I've a lot of rusted tools which I would like to get rid of. Been a while since they have occupied the space in my garage and I believe it is time to finally say goodbye to those. The amount is huge and hence I wasn't able to do it myself. I live in the York area in Ontario. My neighbors advised me to get the help of junk removal services. Considering the options available locally, I found Junkit(York) to be a suitable option. My question is, would I be be able to sell the tools or is letting the junk guys take it the only option that remains?
Personally, at the very least I would remove them for no charge.
With prices the way they are you should expect to incur a fee.
Dwight, you haven't been here long enough for me to send you a PM. Welcome to the forum! I am very close to you and might be interested in helping you out for free. If they are rusty, it is unlikely you will be able to sell them, I have working stuff that sits on Kijiji forever with no luck, I just can't bring myself to scrap them. I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say here without it being solictitation (of my removal services, not other ones) which is not allowed.
Please either post a few more times so we can Private Message or post some contact info and I will check back here to see if I can help you out.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? The capacity of the Got Junk truck influences the price of your belongings. It is how it works. Even if half a car costs less than a whole truck, you still pay the same amount. Maybe separate half loads, eighths, and quarters from a truckload. It makes no difference that the company no longer provides a $99 waste disposal service. Depending on how much space it takes up in the truck, it may cost as much as $129 to remove a single item. 1-800-GOT-prices? JUNK differs depending on where you are. In one region, an entire truck may cost as much as $597, while in another, it could cost $760 or more. Single goods start at USD 129 and go higher from there, regardless of where you live. So, why is estimating the cost of 1-800-GOT-JUNK so tricky? Here are fee list</p>
Your pricing seems reasonable, especially considering the transfer station rates. Doubling the charges for the weight-based fees makes sense to cover your time, labor, and transportation costs. For items like mattresses, couches, and chairs, your pricing looks fair and aligns well with what others might charge for similar services. However, for TVs, since you don't have a charge listed, you might want to consider a small fee—perhaps $5 to $10—depending on the size and weight. As for sheds, you could charge based on the size and complexity of the job. Maybe start with a base fee of $50-$100, depending on the shed's condition and how difficult it is to dismantle and haul away. Overall, I think your pricing is on the right track, but you might want to adjust slightly based on how much time and effort each job typically takes. It's also a good idea to be flexible and adjust as you get more experience and feedback from customers.
