Around here 20 yard dumpsters range $350-$400 with a 5 ton limit and 40 yards go for $450-$500 with a 7 ton limit with a $55 per ton overweight charge.
Recently we had a low bidder underbid 2 houses at 1600 sq. ft. each for $4000.00 ea. 1 house contained asbestos siding and the other looked like Hoarders abandoned it. 3 other bidders bid it at the $6000 to $7000 range. Needless to say this was a city job and they awarded the $4000 bid. The low bidder got busted for illegal dumping on a farm near a creek. Now he wants to go back to the city and charge the taxpayers more $$$. He also put the city in the spotlight because they are the owners and generators of the waste.
Just a little "FYI" for those trying backdoor legitimate companies that follow the rules. This person's fines will be about $4000, not including the land owner's, or the city's fines, fees, etc.
Do you don't think the taxpayers should get hit with additional costs because some Fly-by-Night Bum comes in at a low bid tries to cheat the system, then gets busted?
