A lot of people have not got a clue what a cubic meter is.....

£30 for a 240l wheely bin, everyone knows what a wheely bin is so no confusion. No stretching as with bags and simple and easy to move but more manual handling.

I used to wonder if you got more logs in a 2 cu metre tipper body than you do in 8 240 litre wheely bins.

Charge accordingly.....if you are up to your eye balls in finance and a good outlet then hey ho £80 plus but if you have low overheads ie one man band and want to keep hold and look after a few regular customers then £40 .

Just remember the more you charge the more the customer will moan about the log size etc and will go else where .

 

Moral of the story with every job ....DONT BE GREEDY ..keeping busy 5 days week is better then 2 greedy days a week and spending time looking for work when work just flows in being Fare .

Hi EGGS your right if they Count the logs in a bag then they have too much time on their hands or what you could do obviously make the logs like Kinderling so they would have more logs good day then feel short changed maybe maybe no thanks jus Count the logs in a bag then they have too much time on their hands or what you could do obviously make the logs like Kinderling so they would have more logs good day then feel short changed maybe maybe no thanks Joh

That wouldn't work in practice since all logs are different sizes, if that was the case I would be going out to buy an 8 way splitter.

 

Cubic meters is the closest to fair you can get in my opinion.

 

 

 

We did once have a customer complain that they had 476 logs when last time they had 497 a few years ago though which we couldn't quite believe. Should have offered them a bag of kindling to make up the difference...

 

 

Or some toothpicks😀😀

Reading this got me thinking a bit when using the processor

 

I'm filling 1m3 bags with wood in around ten minutes.

 

2 logs at 4.8m x 20cm TED is 0.4m3 and a cube bag won't take more than two of them packed loose and certainly won't take 3 if stacked neatly

 

Interesting to see the variation.
