What typical jobs cost to dump in Lexington County
| Load | Weight | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One 8-ft pickup bed of mixed construction debris (2.5 yd³) | 1,210 lb | $21 |
| 25-square roof, one layer of architectural shingles (7.2 yd³) | 5,250 lb | $92 |
| 1,000 sq ft of 1/2-inch drywall (3.4 yd³) | 1,600 lb | no drywall rate |
| 100 sq ft of 4-inch concrete | 5,000 lb | $70 |
| A 20-yard load of mixed debris (20 yd³) | 9,680 lb | $169 |
Lexington County weighs loads, so the fee follows weight: the 25-square roof costs 4.3 times as much as the pickup load because shingles weigh 731 lb a yard against 484 lb for mixed debris. Figures are this site's arithmetic on the published rate, with weights from EPA's conversion factors and the manufacturer figures in the methodology. The schedule has no separate line for drywall, so those are not costed here.
Dumpster rental or dump runs?
A full 20-yard of mixed debris weighs about 4.8 tons. Hauled in one load, the Lexington County rate puts the disposal part alone at $169; done in a pickup it is about 8 trips. A rental price includes hauling and usually a set tonnage, but this site has no published price list for South Carolina: the only lists it carries are for New Hampshire and Massachusetts, on the rental prices page. Use the fee here to check the disposal share of any quote, and the weight limits guide to see how far a load runs past a box's allowance.
