How much does a dumpster cost in Ithaca, NY?
Updated regularly. Based on 12 published prices from 3 of the 7 companies serving Ithaca.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 yard | $375 | $360 to $375 | 1 ton | 5 days | 3 |
| 20 yard | $485 | $415 to $550 | 1 ton | 5 days | 3 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. A published rate covers the container and the haul and little else. Overage, permits and extra days are billed separately, so treat these as a floor, not a quote.
