    That's ridiculous. Over 1300 dollars for a standard asphalt shingle 20 yard re roof box? Call your local roll off places and see what they charge for a dumpster. Maybe that is the norm..

    I’ve looked at 10 places. 15 yards are averaging 400, 20yard 500-55, 30 yard 600-650.
    I’m thinking the landfill and transfer station for regular trash is going to be cheaper than c&d I hope. I guess we will find out. Maybe there’s a lot less money in the business than I thought or I’m just missing something

    That is something I’d like to consider in the future but I’m not sure how you even get into that, it seems like there is a bunch of the big companies they already do the hauling around here.

    May I ask why hooklift over cable? if seems like the hooks are way more versitable until it’s time to dump them. Thoughts?

    Hooks are a little faster and you can trailer back a box with good wheels on hard pack, but cables are over all more versatile. More types of boxes, heavier lift capacity, lower height requirements, ect...

    Is there a reason it’s always conventional trucks you see and hardly ever see cabiver trucks? I thought cabivers were good for getting in tight areas.
