My wife and I were paying ~$30 per month for curbside pickup of trash and recycling. Dissatisfied with the price and service, we started taking it to the local transfer station ourselves. $6 for five bags of trash, and normal houshold recyclables accepted for free. I just made my second trip in the past five months. We recycle as much as we can and compost. Keeping meat scraps in a bag in the freezer keeps the trash from smelling, even when it's been bagged in the garage for a couple months. After 2.5 months I've been surprised by the proportions of stuff. ~5 bags of trash, a couple boxes of cans/jars/bottles, and almost 4 full copy paper boxes of paper products. Quarterly costs have dropped from about $120 to about $15 and a couple extra hours of my time.
To answer the original question. Bulk disposal is ~$60/ton
