What affects the price
- How much you have: the more space it takes in the trailer, the more it costs
- Weight: concrete, dirt, roofing and tile cost more to dump because landfills charge by weight
- Labor: stairs, long carries and items that need taking apart add time
- Distance: we’re based in Fresno, so nearby areas like Sienna, Arcola and Missouri City are often quicker
- Special items: tires, hot tubs and appliances can have extra disposal fees
How to save money
- Text us a clear photo so the quote is accurate
- Group everything in one spot, like the garage or driveway
- Combine jobs: one bigger load costs less than two small visits
- Load it yourself with a dump trailer rental
- Donate or sell items in good shape first
