| Load | Weight | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One 8-ft pickup bed of mixed construction debris (2.5 yd³) | 1,210 lb | $15 |

Forsyth County 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?
A full 20-yard of mixed debris weighs about 4.8 tons. Hauled in one load, the Forsyth County rate puts the disposal part alone at $120, counted as 8 pickup loads because the schedule prices each vehicle; done in a pickup it is about 8 trips. A rental price includes hauling and usually a set tonnage, but this site has no published price list for North Carolina: the only lists it carries are for New Hampshire and Massachusetts, on the rental prices page. Use the fee here to check the disposal share of any quote, and the weight limits guide to see how far a load runs past a box's allowance.
