One has a yard in Charlottesville; the remaining 6 cover it from somewhere else.

One of the 7 publishes a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having. The sizes advertised in Charlottesville are 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard. For anything outside that, ask what they can bring, or widen to the nearby towns below.
How much does a dumpster cost in Charlottesville, VA?
Updated regularly. Only 1 of the 7 companies serving Charlottesville publishes a rate, too few to quote a local median, so the figures below are statewide.
Across Virginia, a 20-yard dumpster runs a median of $438, with most quotes between $400 and $475 (18 companies). Charlottesville should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up. The reliable way to find out is to call two or three companies on the list above and ask each for the base price, the included tonnage, and the per-ton overage.
