How to read the Richmond list

The list splits Four in town and 9 travelling in. Mobiledumps Richmond is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 149 Google reviews. Three of the 13 publish 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.

How much does a dumpster cost in Richmond, VA?

Updated regularly. Only 3 of the 13 companies serving Richmond publish 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). Richmond should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up.
