Multi-bag jobs
The transport fee is charged once per pickup, so every extra bag adds only its own pickup rate. Order pickup for all your bags on the same day and the math looks like this:
| Job | Bags | Price (Bay Area) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage cleanout | 2 Large, mixed debris | $24.90 × 2 + $254.90 × 2 + $89.90 = $649.50 | 5.2 yd³ hauled |
| Patio demo | 2 Medium, concrete | $24.90 × 2 + $249.90 × 2 + $89.90 = $639.50 | up to 6,000 lbs of concrete |
| Remodel + hardscape | 1 Large mixed + 1 Medium concrete | $24.90 × 2 + $254.90 + $249.90 + $89.90 = $644.50 | two materials, one pickup |
| Big landscaping job | 3 Large, yard waste | $24.90 × 3 + $209.90 × 3 + $89.90 = $794.30 | 7.8 yd³ of brush |
Different materials go in different bags, each at its own rate. Mix materials in one bag and that bag is charged at the mixed-debris rate. If everything fits in one bag, one mixed bag is the cheapest option. If the job needs two bags anyway, keeping clean wood or yard waste separate gets those bags the lower rate — two Large bags of mixed debris are $649.50, but one Large of clean wood plus one Large of mixed debris is $604.50.

The one fee that exists
$100 if hazardous waste ends up in a bag. That includes all treated wood — California classifies it as hazardous. If you’re not sure whether your lumber is treated: how to spot pressure-treated wood →If a pickup can't happen
If the truck comes and the bag can't be collected — inaccessible, something overhead, overfilled above the rim — you pay only the transport fee for that trip ($89.90 Bay Area / $99.90 LA & OC), not the pickup rate and no penalty on top, and rebook once it's sorted. The three placement checks when you order pickup exist so this never happens.
