In hampton virginia back in 2007 I rented a dumpster for the shed I tore down. They charged me $280 in 2007, had I known that I would have just burned it in a barrel over the course of several weeks. This is after they charge me about $90 every 2 months for "waste disposal". Some time between 2007 and now, Waste Management took over the dump and things got a lot more expensive so I didn't even want to know how much a dumpster costs now. Most cities will give you 1 free trip to the dump, per address per year, nope, not the city of hampton.
I replaced the roof there may of last year. Plan was to dispose of the shingles in my trash can and the neighbors trash can (the house was vacant and they had 2 trash cans for some reason) and in the trash cans accost the street with people I am friends with. I got to see a one arm bandit style trash truck try and lift several 400+ pound trash cans. For once I didn't feel ripped off paying $40-$50 a month for waste.
I did not plan on having to tear off 10 to 20 sheets of water damaged ply wood and several rafters, resulting in a $70 trip to the dump to drop off one trailer full of ply wood, had I known they were going to charge any where near $70 we would have explored other options such as a burn barrel. I'm from Maine and use to a trip to the dump costing no more than $20.
