How to use the result
Review taxes, fuel/environmental surcharges, contamination charges, overage, weight, rental and escalation terms separately if they apply.
What the calculator does not know
This site covers ordinary non-hazardous commercial waste planning only. Hazardous, biomedical, radioactive, asbestos-containing, chemical, regulated electronic, pressurized, flammable or otherwise special waste is outside scope. Follow local waste rules, site procedures and specialist disposal requirements for any regulated or uncertain material.
Improve the estimate
Keep the inputs used for the decision and compare the estimate with actual results. A simple calculator is most useful when it makes the assumptions visible enough to learn from the difference.
