Trash incineration is a growing trend in the United States, and we’re not talking about trash barrel burning in your backyard. We’re talking about the large-scale waste-to-energy facilities located across the country.
\n\n\nThere are currently fewer than 100 of these waste-to-energy plants in the U.S., and while these facilities are able to generate a huge amount of electricity from burning trash, the U.S. still ranks well below other countries in terms of how much trash we burn for electricity.
\n\n1972 was the year, St. Louis was the city -- the first-ever trash incineration facility was launched in the United States. These waste-to-energy plants became popular, and by 1991 there were 171 garbage incinerators nationwide.
\n\n\n\nThis number has fallen to around 90 due to the substantially higher cost compared to landfilling and environmental concerns over burning trash and what it does to air quality.
\n\nEPA regulations are strict when it comes to trash incineration; hence the expensive price tag associated with building and running this type of facility. According to the Sustainable Cities Institute, a trash incineration plant can cost as much as $280 million to build, which is at least two or three times the cost of building and operating a landfill.
\n\nModern garbage incinerating plants take great care in removing harmful toxic chemicals using multiple layers of filtering technology to “catch” as much of the bad stuff as possible. However, the average incineration plant still produces more CO2 per megawatt of power generated compared to traditional power plants (i.e., coal, natural gas, oil-fired).
\n\nDespite the increased cost and environmental concerns, trash incineration plants do have their benefits. The biggest benefit being the fact it diverts millions of tons of trash from landfills and turns the garbage into electricity.
\n\nThe worldwide leader in trash incineration is Denmark which burns 54 percent of its garbage, according to the U.S. Census. The U.S. burns about 14 percent of its trash generated each year, which equates to about 19 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.
\n\nThe U.S. uses about 4 Trillion kilowatt hours of electricity per year. It also helps keep about 35 million tons of trash out of landfills. So while there are pros and cons of garbage incineration, the pros are beginning to outweigh the cons as the technology advances.

A 10 or 20 yard dumpster is a viable option in cases where you have more than a few pieces of furniture to get rid of.
\n\nDumpster rental prices vary, but you can expect to pay around $200 - $350 to rent a 10 or 20 yard dumpster.
\n\nYour cost may be higher or lower depending upon your location.
\n\n\n\n\nA standard sofa consumes at least 3 cubic yards of space. Due to its shape, it may take up more than 3 cubic yards in the back of a truck or dumpster. Because of this, it's always a safe bet to size up 10 yards or more.
\n
Total Cost: $200 - $400

If you have a trailer or truck that accommodates the furniture, you may find that a DIY furniture removal is the most cost-effective option.
\n\nBut keep in mind the factors below when determining if this is the right option for you:
\n\nTotal Cost: $50 +
\n\n
This is a great option for furniture that is still in usable shape.
\n\nThat is the key point though: The furniture must be in overall good condition!
\n\nDamaged furniture is not something you should donate to local charitable organizations, and in fact, most will not accept it.
\n\nA great resource for selling or giving away furniture is Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
\n\nUse the “Free” section to get rid of it quickly.
\n\nThis method of furniture removal works great if you live in a mid-to-large metro area, but may not be quite as effective if you live far off the beaten path.
\n\nDonating used furniture is an excellent way to help the local community and get a tax benefit to boot.
\n\nSome organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity, offer furniture pick-up services (not available in all areas).

\n\nWhen it comes to trying to determine what is a reasonable price to pay for your furniture removal will depend on several factors.
\n\n
Your location — Your geographic location will influence the cost of furniture removal. For example, a sofa removal job in Little Rock, AR would cost less compared to the same job in New York City.
\n\nLocation in relation to the junk hauling company — The distance a junk hauler must travel to get to your location may increase the price in order to compensate for fuel costs and time.
\n\nVolume of furniture — Many junk removal companies base their fees on how much space your junk (furniture) takes up in their truck(s). For example, a few small dining room chairs would cost less than one large sofa because the chairs take up less volume.
\n\nEase of access to the furniture — The complexity of the job can influence the price. For instance, a junk hauler could very well charge more to carry a sofa down five flights of stairs than they would for hauling a sofa that's already at the curbside when the junk removal company arrives to pick it up.
\n\nFind a way to mitigate these factors to save on your furniture disposal costs.
\n\n\n\n
Should you tip the junk removal crew?
\n\nYou should never feel obligated to tip, but most companies do allow for tipping.
\n\nOne of the largest junk removal franchises in the U.S., 1-800-Got-Junk, says this about tipping:
\n\n\n\n\nIf you think the crew did a great job and you’d like to recognize their hard work, tips are always appreciated.
\n
On a more complex furniture removal job, tipping is definitely something to consider.
\n\nA 10-20% tip is a good range to target for a complicated junk removal job well done.
\n\nIt’s also a good gesture to offer a beverage, or even snacks, to the workers for jobs that span several hours.
\n\nGreat service should always be rewarded!
\n\n
One simple way to score a nice discount on junk removal costs is to ask the junk hauler if they offer discounts for military/veterans, seniors, large haul-aways, first-time customers, or any other promotions they may be running.
\n\nYou can check the company’s website or Facebook page to see current offers, too.

\n\nOur guide to roofing shingles disposal will make it easy for you to manage your roof debris and choose the right size dumpster for your project.
\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or a contractor working on a roofing project, we're here to help take the guesswork out of renting a roll-off dumpster for shingle roof removals and replacements.

There's more than one type of asphalt shingle, and understanding the difference between the two is important.
\n\n
3-Tab Shingles
\n\nThese shingles are the most traditional style, and is the type you’d find on the average home.
\n\nIt’s a very budget-friendly option while being relatively lightweight shingle.
\n\nBecause of this, it's easier to stay within the dumpster rental company’s weight limit than it is with architectural shingles.
\n\nArchitectural Shingles
\n\nThis is a more modern type of roofing shingle that provides a more dimensional look.
\n\nIf this is the type of shingle you’re disposing of, be aware that these shingles are heavier than basic 3-tab shingles.
\n\nBe careful not to underestimate the weight of these shingles, as overage costs can rack up pretty quickly.
\n\nKeep reading: How to Estimate Shingle Weight and Save on the Cost of Roof Disposal
\n\nRoofing shingles are generally sold in bundles.
\n\nEach bundle typically contains 21 pieces, and three bundles equals one square.
\n\nIn the roofing industry, “square” is the standard unit of measurement and is equal to 100 square feet.
\n\nEach bundle weighs 60-100 lbs depending on the type and overall quality of the shingle.
\n\n3-tab shingles tend to weigh less than architectural shingles because they are thinner and less layered.
\n\nKnowing that each 3-tab shingle bundle weighs roughly 60-80 lbs, you can estimate that a 2,000 sq ft (20 square, 60 bundles) roof would weigh 3,600-4,800 lbs.
\n\nSimilarly, knowing that each architectural shingle bundle weighs roughly 70-100 lbs, you can estimate that a 2,000 sq ft (20 square, 60 bundles) roof would weigh 4,200-6,000 lbs.
\n\nReminder: Many roofs have multiple layers of shingles, so you will need to factor that in when determining your roof's weight and choosing the right dumpster size.
\nWhen it comes to choosing the right dumpster for your roofing project, you need to take more than just dumpster size into consideration; you also need to consider that dumpster's weight limit.
\n\nFor example, a 10 yard dumpster may have enough physical space to hold 20 square of architectural shingles, but it may not have a high enough weight limit to accommodate 20 square.
\n\nIn the tables below, you can see the average weight limits for the most popular dumpster sizes, and the amount of roofing shingles those dumpsters and weight limits can typically accommodate, so you can make the right choice for your project.
\n\n| Dumpster Size | \n\t\t\tAverage Weight Limit | \n\t\t\t# of 3-Tab Shingle Square | \n\t\t\tAverage Size of Roof Removal | \n\t\t
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | \n\t\t\t4,000-6,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t20-30 | \n\t\t\t2,000-3,000 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 20 yard | \n\t\t\t5,000-7,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t25-35 | \n\t\t\t2,500-3,500 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 30 yard | \n\t\t\t7,000-10,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t35-50 | \n\t\t\t3,500-5,000 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 40 yard | \n\t\t\t12,000-16,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t60-80 | \n\t\t\t6,000-8,000 sq ft | \n\t\t
\n\n
| Dumpster Size | \n\t\t\tAverage Weight Limit | \n\t\t\t# of Architectural Shingle Square | \n\t\t\tAverage Size of Roof Removal | \n\t\t
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | \n\t\t\t4,000-6,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t15-25 | \n\t\t\t1,500-2,500 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 20 yard | \n\t\t\t5,000-7,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t20-25 | \n\t\t\t2,000-2,500 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 30 yard | \n\t\t\t7,000-10,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t25-40 | \n\t\t\t2,500-4,000 sq ft | \n\t\t
| 40 yard | \n\t\t\t12,000-16,000 lbs | \n\t\t\t45-65 | \n\t\t\t4,500-6,500 sq ft | \n\t\t
\n\n
As you can see, weight limits vary from one dumpster size to the next, but they can also vary between contractors.
\n\nFor example, Contractor A may include 4,000 lbs in the cost of their 10 yard dumpster rental, while Contractor B includes 6,000 lbs for only $50 more.
\n\nPaying only slightly more for double the weight limit could end up saving you money in the longrun, as going over your weight limit can quicky rack up fees.
\n\nTo avoid potential overage charges and to ensure you get the right dumpster for the right price, always discuss your roof's square footage and the type of shingles you'll be disposing of with the rental providers you speak to.
\n\nThey'll be able to help you choose the right dumpster size with the right weight limit for your specific roof removal project.
\n\nWe recommend reaching out to atleast three different dumpster rental providers whenever possible so you can compare quotes and ensure you get the best service for the best price.
\nDid you know that, in most cities, it costs more to dispose of asphalt shingles at a local landfill than it does to recycle those shingles at a local recycling facility?
\n\n\n\n\nAsphalt shingles are becoming a valuable commodity in the recycling industry. Scrap roofing shingles are melted down and used in asphalt road mixes, new shingle production, and more.
\n
For example, in Chicago, it's free to recycle clean-loaded asphalt at a Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) facility, like Gallagher Materials.
\n\nSimilarly, the Scholl Canyon Landfill in Glendale, CA accepts general municipal waste at about $54 per ton, but it charges just $30 per ton of clean asphalt shingles (as of 2021).
\n\nMaking the effort to clean-load your asphalt shingles in your dumpster can save you quite a bit of money, so always ask the dumpster rental providers you reach out to about recycling your scrap roofing shingles.

\r\n\r\nLight demolition costs are $1,000 or less on average. Your project cost will depend on the exact project complexity, where you live, local disposal fees, how accessible the demolition project is, who you hire, etc.
\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to hiring a junk removal company for a light demolition project, we always recommend getting at least three estimates before hiring.
\r\n\r\nThe goal is to find a light demolition service provider who can complete your project properly, for a fair price, when you’d like it done. The more quotes you get, the better chance you have of finding the best company.

\r\n\r\nMost junk and trash removal services have a minimum charge of $75-$100.
\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest factors influencing cost is the amount of items you have. The more items you have to remove, the more labor hours and people it will take to get the project done.
\r\n\r\nSimilarly, most companies will quote a price based on the expected volume of the debris in the truck (i.e., a full truckload, 1/2 truckload, or 1/4 truckload), so the more space your items take up in the truck, the more you can expect to pay for your junk removal project.
\r\n\r\nTrash removal takes anywhere from a few minutes to a full 8-hour day or more. If you have a single item to remove or a small pile, a junk removal company can remove your item(s) in a matter of minutes. For larger cleanout projects, you can expect it to take an hour or more.
