Have you priced the cost of taking stuff to the dump as of late? The cost of
it, along with everything else is going up. When you take stuff to the dump
(very much so on a ton for ton bases) it can get very expensive, and you
wind up filling the dump, that much sooner ( then the dump closes and then
you have to ship it further, at higher cost to dump).

I used to work for a remodeling company and and taking stuff to the dump was
an ongoing cost that was so high, that after I started, the company started
making more profit (aprox. 2 or 3% more) after I got them to start
salvegeing materials. It was cheeper to take it all the way across town and
give it a way or get money for it ( depending on the material in the truck )
, then to haul it to a dump a couple of miles away.
