Mac is an unknown quantity at this point
we only collect a few areas, each less than 1000 sq ft, but I simply could not imagine how much clippings 2.5 acres of turf would make. Im thinking you are well over a single truck load. PS, the guys above are right. Winning an unprofitable job is nearly pointless. Businesses exist for the purpose of creating profit for their owners. If you are not getting fairly rewarded, there is little reason for you to take on additional work. BTW, giving maintenance bids with snow on the ground isnt what I would consider a wise thing to do.
