Dump Fees

[Canyonbc]

So your running a 8 yard dump truck with a 12 inch chipper...and your dump site is 15 miles away.

What do you charge???

 

[Husky137]

Time and fuel.

 

[Jumper]

Plus the dump charge-here it is $43 per ton.

Damn..

Atleast in San Diego where i do most of my work, i have a guy who is strickly greens but he is 20 dollars then if your a dump truck or flat bed and your bed is 12 feet long its an extra 12 bucks.

So $ 32 for a 12 ft dump truck

haha...thank you...i agree totaly,

I have been doing alot of reading through isa...on becoming a member and going from their.

I was just wondering what everyone pays out there.

 

[okietreedude1]

nothing.

I dump chips at a nursery that uses them to mulch thier trees.

Logs i dump in a burn pit at a farmers house. its a little bit of a drive, but its cheaper than the $22.45/ton at the landfill. If its an hourly job, I stay on the clock while dumping.

And if not an by the hour job your estimate should also include time to/from and at the dump. I know in TO you can wait for a half hour at the end of the work day when everyone wants into the transfer station.

Everything I can not sell, give away or put into our own on site landfill at my current job I send to the Ft McMurray dump, I have not quite figured that one out as we have a 250 foot deep pit that needs filling......

I recall the fee was $57 a ton in Ottawa a few years back but we got rid of our chips to the City lot, farms, private homes and nurseries. The wood we put at the side of the road and it was gone most mornings.

The wood we put at the side of the road and it was gone most mornings.

When i ran a crew, I had the guys pile wood on country intersections. It went fast, and sometime people would stop and ask to be loaded up. Though this was for the few logs that would not fit in the 12 in chipper, or would have run out of the truck if we tried to chip everything. Tha companies backlot was rather small.

One sequential willow removal I've mentioned several times has here, we allways have put the wood on the curb, and it goes overnight every year. Well to do neighbor hood too.

 

[Canyonbc]

Your guys ever get in trouble i mean by a cop or anything...

i think most of us have done it atleast here or there...

i have done it...

Just wondering what would happen if a cop pulled over...heck its a county road right...and your helping the public out, people are getting free wood...and your saving money because no dump fee...NICe...

:jawdrop: ouch :jawdrop:

Here, it's $5 to $10 for a big chipper box at a place called Biomass.

Up by Portland, branch debris was $5 a cubic yard, but if chipped, is was like $1 per cubic yard since is was already preground and ready for the compost heap.

But anyway, if your prices are like near deadly in an area, no big deal I guess. If every service has to use the same options, not much more you can do that just fix your prices accordingly and it should feel like a natural way of doing business in that region.
