How much space it takes
We price by volume, not by item count. Bulky-but-light loads like fence panels or a torn-down shed fill the bed faster than tight, stackable boxes.
Volume Pricing
$90 minimum charge, then $50 per cubic yard. A full 18-cubic-yard load is $900. No hidden fees.
Volume-Based Pricing
Our Isuzu dump truck holds a full 18 cubic yard load for $900. Slide left to right to compare an empty bed and eight load sizes — at $50 per cubic yard. No hidden fees.

Estimates are based on volume only. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, shingles and brick are quoted separately by weight.
Upfront pricing
Every job starts at our $90 minimum charge. Beyond that, only four things move the number — and we quote all of them before we load.
Minimum charge
$90
Every job starts at $90. That covers a single item or a small pile — labor, transport, gas, mileage and dump fees included. From there, price is based on how much space your load takes in the truck at $50 per cubic yard, up to $900 for a full 18-cubic-yard load.
Starting prices
| Load | Space used | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item / minimum | Up to ~2 cu yd | $90 |
| 1/4 Load | 4.5 cu yd | $225 |
| 1/2 Load | 9 cu yd | $450 |
| 3/4 Load | 13.5 cu yd | $675 |
| Full Load | 18 cu yd | $900 |
Prices are quoted upfront before we load. No fuel charges, no per-item add-ons, no surprise invoice after the truck leaves.
We price by volume, not by item count. Bulky-but-light loads like fence panels or a torn-down shed fill the bed faster than tight, stackable boxes.
Concrete, dirt, brick, shingles and other heavy debris are limited by truck weight, so those loads are quoted separately from standard volume pricing.
Ground-floor and driveway loads move fast. Second-story, tight stairwells, long carries or a load that has to be dismantled first takes more crew time.
Mattresses, tires, refrigerant appliances, hot tubs, pianos and pool tables may carry added disposal fees or require extra labor and equipment. We explain any additional cost upfront, before we load anything.

Cubic yards measure occupied space, not a guaranteed number of items. Material type, shape, density and safe loading requirements all affect the final volume. Not sure where your pile lands? Text photos and we'll price it for you before we drive out.
Not sure about an item? Call 256.848.4673 and ask — we'd rather tell you upfront than surprise you on pickup day.
