Published-rate calculator
Estimates from published rates — not a quote.
Choose your state, material, and load type. The calculator compares collected facilities using only the charges published in their official fee schedules.
When a schedule does not contain enough information to calculate a cost, the result is marked unavailable. Missing rates, weights, and material charges are never guessed.
Fee comparison tool
All calculated amounts come from the facility's own published schedule. Vehicle categories are not assigned assumed weights.
Comparison results
Estimates from published rates — not a quote. Results are calculated only where an official schedule provides sufficient pricing information.
Select a state, material, and load type above, then choose Compare Published Fees.
Official fee schedules are still being collected for the selected state.

A published flat rate is used only for its matching vehicle and material category. For a known-weight load, applicable per-ton rates and minimum charges are used. Material surcharges are included only when their published units and applicability are clear. When residency changes the rate and the applicable rate is unknown, no single price is assumed.
Independent price research, not a quote. Figures are prices published by the source named, checked on the date shown; your price may differ.
The published facility dataset is temporarily unavailable. No comparison can be calculated without verified source records.
Calculation method
The calculator does not use national-average prices, estimated facility rates, or assumed vehicle weights.
Where the facility publishes an applicable per-ton rate, the calculator multiplies that rate by the entered estimated tonnage.
When a published minimum charge applies, the greater of the weight-based amount and that minimum is used, subject to any other clearly published applicable charges.
When the facility publishes a flat fee for a matching car, pickup, or trailer category, that published amount can be compared.
If the schedule provides only a per-ton rate, the tool does not guess the vehicle's weight to produce a flat-price estimate.
Tires, mattresses, appliances, construction debris, and green waste may be subject to separate charges or facility acceptance rules.
A charge is included in a calculation only when its published basis is unambiguous. Otherwise, the fee is shown as published without inventing a quantity or total.
Some facilities publish different prices for local residents and other customers. The calculator cannot determine residency from a selected state alone. If eligibility changes the applicable amount, the published alternatives are identified rather than silently selecting one rate.
A facility may also require identification, impose load restrictions, or accept waste only from certain jurisdictions. Review the official schedule before visiting.
