Fees marked "estimate" have not been confirmed with the operator and are left out of the median. Published fees come from county, city, and operator pages and change often. Call ahead before you haul a load yourself.

No. When you rent a roll-off, the hauler takes the full container to the landfill or transfer station and pays the tipping fee. It is built into your rental price, along with a set weight allowance. Going over that allowance is billed per ton, which is why local tipping fees drive dumpster prices.
They are one input. Haulers pay the tipping fee on every load, so it shows up in your rental price and especially in the per-ton overage rate. Drive distance, labor, and local competition matter too, so a cheap landfill doesn’t always mean a cheap dumpster.
Many accept residents and small loads, but rules, fees, and accepted materials vary, and some only take waste from inside the county. Call the facility before you go.
