So my plan is to slowly toss the bagged stuff (stored in my garage) and then get a Bagster pop up dumpster for the old 2x4s and toilets, etc. The Bagster is $30 and the $120 for removal of the first Bagster in my area. Additional loads are $90 if you have a single pickup date.
Plus given my situation, I am best off doing it myself so I don't have to deal with worker safety regulations since I won't be paying anyone, etc. Who knew simple waste removal could turn into such an ordeal?
Garbage removal quotes vary wildly. I found a cheap-ish place that has a policy about dimensional size - ie an intact cabinet will cost more to discard than the same cabinet flattened. I was happy to pay those dudes to carry off the load of broken cinder blocks that were moved across the yard v.s. ever touching them again.
It feels great to get rid of thar crud, though. It will be like you've grown a whole new basement.
