What typical jobs cost to dump in Durham
| Load | Weight | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One 8-ft pickup bed of mixed construction debris (2.5 yd³) | 1,210 lb | $30 |
| 25-square roof, one layer of architectural shingles (7.2 yd³) | 5,250 lb | no shingle rate |

Durham prices by the vehicle load, so the fee depends on how many trips the job takes, counted here as 8-ft beds of 2.5 cubic yards. Figures are this site's arithmetic on the published rate, with weights from EPA's conversion factors and the manufacturer figures in the methodology. The schedule has no separate line for shingles, drywall, concrete, so those are not costed here.
Dumpster rental or dump runs?
Bin There Dump That (New Hampshire franchise) lists a 20-yard in New Hampshire at $750 with 2 tons included, and a 10-yard at $550 with 1. A full 20-yard of mixed debris weighs about 4.8 tons, more than those included tonnages, and the price lists print no overage rate. Dumping the same 20 cubic yards in Durham would cost $240 in fees, but it means about 8 pickup trips. For a single room or a small roof the trips can win; for a whole-house job the rental usually does. The guide to dumpsters, bag services and junk removal compares the options.
