The costs a dump run hides

A DIY dump run in Toronto costs the transfer-station fee, a minimum deposit plus a per-tonne charge, plus truck rental, fuel, and several hours of loading, usually across two trips. Full-service removal bundles the crew, truck, and disposal into one flat price.

When each wins

DIY wins when the load is small and light, you own a truck, and you have a free morning. Hiring wins when it's heavy, upstairs or in a basement, you don't own a truck, or it's more than one load, which it almost always is.
