I filled a 14 yard bin with the tear-out waste from a kitchen and
dining room. It contained the cabinets, laminate counter and the lathe
and plaster from the walls and ceiling for a 10x20 room. The bin was
full to the top. I was charged extra for being overweight. Did I get
ripped off? The maximum weight allowed was 4000 lbs. They said I had
4500 but I don't believe them.

How much do you think it weighed? I would have guessed less than 3000
lbs.

When they billed you extra they should have provided the dump ticket, at
least the ones around here do. If they didn't, ask for it, your entitled to
it before paying for it. All the landfills around here give you weight in,
weight out tickets, thats how they bill the dumpster companies.

They offered to fax me a copy of a dump ticket but how would I know it
was mine? I can see being overweight if I was excavating or tearing
down brick but a kitchen/dining room can't weigh that much in my mind.
I'm going to switch companies, I just can't trust these guys.

Thanks for everyone's responses.
