    We are a new dump truck business in Broward County Florida and have the opportunity to haul and dispose spent lime. The dump site charges $65/ton with a minimum of 5 tons. How much should we charge the city?

    I ask for a previous tabulation awared and it said $10/ton. That was confusing.

    Thanks for your help

    Sounds to me the $10/ton was just the haulage rate. Does the city pay the disposal fee? You need to find out for sure. How many miles round trip?
