A short YouTube video by Mike Andes documenting an on-site junk-removal estimate. The clip records Mike and estimator Charles discussing scope (remove a deck and a full pool), the likely customer price range, and disposal/dumping costs—highlighting concerns that Charles may be under-pricing jobs while competing for leads.

Questions this video answers

"Probably in the ballpark of 1500."

"4750 per ton."

"Probably around £2,000."

"This job would probably go for, like, 1150."

Post or taking.
