I have this same conversation on the phone at least once a month.

Yeah, I'm tearing down a building, what's it going to cost for me to dispose of the debris?
(I give them the per ton price)
Ahh, OK. And what about the blocks and bricks and such?
Well.. It's 'per ton' so it would be the same.o_O
OK. Um.. and what about the burnable stuff - wood, carpet, stuff like that?
Sir, it's PER TON. We don't care what's in the can, we'll charge you by the weight.:idunno
OH, I see. So um, what about appliances like the stove, the tub, that sort of thing?
<sigh> Well THAT'S going to be (gives them the per ton price again)....:th
Um ... how may tons can I put in the bin ?

I get all the time Client What time can I drop off my dog ? Anytime between 8 and noon. Can I drop my dog off at 9:30 ? Yes 9:30 falls between 8 to noon. Question how does one set margins like to list things one under the other?
