hi everyone
have just been asked to quote a town centre for litter pickin and safety checking bus stop play areas .
want 30 hrs per week. so roughly 6 hours a day.
how much does one charge per hour for this sort of work is it laot more than if you were quoting for a office contract

Hi Matt

If you ask 10 people you'll get 10 answers ranging from £8 to £18 per hour. There is no standard price and the best advice you're likely to get is to accurately calculate all your costs, add your margin and go for it.

Like office cleaning,generally the fewer the hours required the higher the price you'll get away with.

Regards

Mike

I would also think about staffing it, I used to manage a contract in canterbury town centre litter picking, it was a night mare cos now one wanted to walk around a busy town picking up litter.

I got stuck doing it myself for ages, plenty of people I know saw me and took the pi$$ constantly ::) ::) ::)
