A dumpster rental prices the box and leaves the loading to you. We price the portion of the truck your junk fills - an eighth, a quarter, a half, a full load - and two of us do the carrying, from wherever it is to wherever it needs to go.
Most garages run a quarter to a half load. A full estate clear-out or a whole-house eviction usually runs two to three loads. We will give you a straight number before anything gets carried, not after.
We cannot take paint, tires, or anything hazardous like asbestos - those go to a licensed facility, not our yard. Everything else gets sorted before it goes anywhere final: donated first if it is in decent shape, recycled next, and only what is left goes to the landfill - a little over half of a typical load never gets there at all.
