What typical jobs cost to dump in Greenville County
| Load | Weight | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One 8-ft pickup bed of mixed construction debris (2.5 yd³) | 1,210 lb | $13 |
| 25-square roof, one layer of architectural shingles (7.2 yd³) | 5,250 lb | $108 |

Greenville County prices debris by volume, so light, bulky loads cost the same as heavy ones of the same size, except that shingles carry their own higher rate of $15 per cubic yard. 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 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 Greenville County rate puts the disposal part alone at $100; 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 South 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.
