Dump or dumpster: which is cheaper in Minneapolis?

For a pickup load or two, hauling it yourself usually wins. Once a cleanout or remodel runs to several loads, a dumpster can cost less than your time, fuel and repeated gate fees.

  • Official local rate: Over the voucher limit: $41 per ton of garbage or construction debris, $25 per appliance, electronic item or mattress, and tires from $6 each, plus a $15 administrative fee.
  • You need a truck or trailer, a way to cover and secure the load, and time for each round trip
  • Best for 1-2 pickup loads, yard waste, or single items like a mattress or appliance
  • Resident-only sites usually ask for ID or proof of address
