Ranges blend Charlotte local haulers (A-1, Rapid Haul) with national broker pricing (ZTERS 10-day rentals sit at the high end). Charlotte-area landfill tipping fees run $20–$50/ton; some haulers bill them separately. The 10-yard range rests on broker pricing alone — local 10-yard quotes may come in lower. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
On your own driveway or private property: no permit. On a street, sidewalk or alley you need a CDOT Right-of-Way Use Permit — filed 48–72 hours ahead with a placement sketch, traffic-control plan and a liability insurance certificate naming the City of Charlotte. Fees are an application charge plus a daily occupancy fee. Most haulers will file it for you if you ask.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
