Disposal is often the biggest part of the bill on heavy jobs. Here is what each company’s published disposal rate comes to at common weights:
| Weight in the dumpster | Chickadee at $0.08 per pound | Summit at $100 per ton |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ton (2,000 lbs) | $160 | $100 |
| 1.5 tons (3,000 lbs) | $240 | $150 |
| 2 tons (4,000 lbs) | $320 | $200 |
| 3 tons (6,000 lbs) | $480 | $300 |
This compares disposal only. Chickadee’s rental rate is not published, so ask them for it to compare full totals. Summit’s contractor rate includes 1, 2 or 3 tons, so on heavy loads the disposal can be partly or fully covered by the rental price.
