What is a Truck Load?
Some folks will ask what you charge per
cubic yard - it varies and this is why
Junk comes in many forms, for instance mattresses stack
easily and a mattress is about one cubic yard. A junk hauler can basically
stack them as high as he can reach and then strap them down.
Lets say you have five mattresses five box spring and a
junk removal service charged $99 for this you would be paying about $8 per
cubic yard.
That's an awesome deal.
Then there is loose debris like garbage, scraps of wood,
boxes of junk, old clothes. These items stack okay but unless the truck is
fitted with sideboards (which most haulers don't do because they charge
more at the landfill) the junk can't be stacked as high for safety or
weight reasons.
If this junk can only be stacked 5 feet high and you are
charged $99 then you are paying $10.80 per cubic yard, still a very, very
good deal.
