Dump fees: what the dump really costs

These are published rates we checked on the operators' own websites, each with the month we looked. Across 61 sites with a per-ton rate, the median is $89.90 per ton, from $26.00 to $274.57. Many sites never publish a price; for those, call ahead. We add more counties every week (so far: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin).
