What it costs
Two things decide most of what you'll pay: what the load weighs, and how far it has to be carried to reach the trailer. Each page here walks through what moves that number for one kind of job, and where people usually guess wrong.
What actually moves the number
Weight is the first one, and it is the one nobody guesses right. A room full of pillows and the same room full of tile are the same photograph and a very different job. The second is carry distance: a pile at the curb and the same pile at the far end of a basement take the same space on the trailer and a different part of the day.
The third is what the load is made of. A trailer of clean fill, scrap metal or yard waste is handled more cheaply than the same trailer mixed together, which is why sorting is worth doing and why we do it as part of the job.
