Walk the pile. Fits in four or five pickup beds? The 15 does it. A full kitchen, the carpet-and-pad out of a whole house, or the shingles off most ranch roofs around here? That's the 20. Clearing a whole house, gutting to studs, or building new in the Anson corridor? Take the 30 and stop thinking about it. And the honest tiebreaker: stuck between sizes, take the bigger one — the step up costs less than a second haul or an overage fee, every time.
Four things: the size of the can, the weight going in it, how long you keep it, and what the material is. Household junk and remodel debris run light. Tile, plaster and anything wet run heavy — which is why a roofer's 20 costs a touch more than a decluttering 20. Concrete and dirt are so dense they get their own cans at their own rates, and that's a feature: it keeps the truck legal and your price predictable.
The national-broker playbook is a low headline number, then fuel surcharges, environmental fees and per-day charges stacked after the drop. A real local quote is one flat figure with tonnage and window spelled out, in writing, before you commit. That's what we send. Compare any competitor's quote against ours line for line — we're comfortable with that conversation, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Seven days standard — most projects use three or four. Roof crews often need two. Longer remodel? Extensions are priced before delivery so there's never a meter quietly running. When you're done early, call it in and the driveway is yours again, usually next business day.
