Here's what goes into the cost of a Taylorsville dumpster.
First, the container. Larger sizes cost more, but a size that's too small can mean a second haul or overage fees.
Second, the debris. Truck loads at the county landfill are weighed, and the county's price list shows mixed trash at $36 per ton. Clean, dry soil or sod costs far less, at $12 per ton, so keeping dirt separate can pay off. Loads with big chunks over two feet across, or with items the landfill doesn't want, get charged at the mixed trash rate.
Third, the special items. Tires, mattresses, and appliances with Freon are charged by the piece at the landfill, so tell us about them when you book.
Fourth, the street. If the container can't fit on your property, Taylorsville's excavation permit and bond add to the cost, as explained below.
