Brookline prices debris by volume, so light, bulky loads cost the same as heavy ones of the same size, except that shingles carry their own higher rate of $250 per cubic yard. Figures are this site's arithmetic on the published rate, with weights from EPA's conversion factors and the manufacturer figures in the methodology.
Dumpster rental or dump runs?
Bin There Dump That (New Hampshire franchise) lists a 20-yard in New Hampshire at $750 with 2 tons included, and a 10-yard at $550 with 1. A full 20-yard of mixed debris weighs about 4.8 tons, more than those included tonnages, and the price lists print no overage rate. Dumping the same 20 cubic yards in Brookline would cost $2,400 in fees, but it means about 8 pickup trips. For a single room or a small roof the trips can win; for a whole-house job the rental usually does. The guide to dumpsters, bag services and junk removal compares the options.
