A handful of things decide where a Webster Groves quote lands.
Size is the starting point. A larger dumpster costs more, but a small one that overflows means a second haul. When in doubt, the next size up is often the better deal.
Weight matters a lot in older homes. Plaster walls, brick, old tile, and slate roofing are heavy, and they eat into your weight allowance fast. Lighter debris like carpet, cabinets, and furniture uses up space instead.
Sorting can help. St. Louis County lists recycling outlets for clean concrete, asphalt, and yard waste, and keeping those materials apart from mixed debris can lower what you pay to dispose of them.
Street placement is the last piece. When a driveway doesn't have room, a container sometimes needs to sit in the street. That takes approval from Public Works and warning lights at night, which is worth sorting out before delivery.
