    I had a holiday house customer want me to put the bins out and bring them in. I figure I have to drive there twice a week it'd $15 each visit out & in. $30 week. I know this client has been getting other quotes for the lawn I do for $50 so theres no way he'll spring the extra $30. I replied sorry, impossible to be in your area on those days. Maybe big Body Corps will go for it, you can only try.

    Depending on how many there is and on how long it takes to put them out and bring back in. If less than an hr you may want to set a minimum fee of 1 hrs work. If you can do it as part off your run all the better but if you have you drive there specifically each time factor that in. I would also stipulate that the bins have to be in working order ie. no broken wheels so you dont have problems with them. Also not over full. You dont want to have to clean up rubbish that has fallen out of them on the way down to the front.
    Cheers

    thanks guys. there are around 6 bins at each place. around the corner from my place.
    the days i do the maintence is on a 3 weekly now. bins every 2nd week. so it will be a case of a drive by each one. it would take 15 mins max to do each one.

    Cheers Tim

    www.tenders.nsw.gov.au for you bud ...not a lot going on there though ...other sites deal with private tenders, but yet to find one that doesn't want to charge to see what they are offering
    I dont break things ...I just use them beyond their operational limitations

    Hi Tim, it's worth doing a google search for websites that will send you alerts when relevant tenders to what you're looking for come up for tendering.

    Austender.com.au is one such website.

    They all charge varying amounts for the service. The benefit being that you don't have to search every single individual local council, government, school website individually to find tenders as they become available.

    You could also try emailing some of the local schools in your area. They might not have tenders up for renewal but may keep your contact details on file for the time at which one might.
