Savings

Cost-saving playbook

Cleveland's completely opaque MSW pricing makes dump fee tracking more important here than almost any other market. Without published rates, the only way to know your actual disposal cost is to log every invoice and track per-job expenses. ScaleYourJunk tracks dump fees per job, per facility, per truck — giving you the data to negotiate better rates with Rumpke, Republic, and WM and to price your jobs accurately in a market where disposal costs are a black box.

01

Sorting

Route all C&D to Boyas ($14/cu yd) or Rosby ($10.25/cu yd) instead of MSW transfer stations — the rate difference on construction debris can save 30–50% per load compared to dumping everything at Rumpke or Republic Separate scrap metal from every load and sell to Cleveland-area yards: SA Recycling (800-GOT-SCRAP), Broadway Scrap Metals, All Scrap Salvage Co., or Dille Road Recycling. Metal generates $50–$200+ per load in scrap revenue while reducing the weight and cost of your transfer station dump. Donate usable items to Greater Cleveland Habitat ReStore (3 locations: Cleveland, North Randall, Amherst) — free drop-off Tue–Sat with free pickup available at (216) 429-3631. Diverts 20–40% of a typical junk removal load from disposal, eliminating tipping fees on those items.

FAQ

Questions this resource should answer.

Honest answers. If your question isn't here, ask us directly.

Cleveland MSW transfer station rates are not publicly posted by any facility — Rumpke, Republic Services, and WM all negotiate rates by commercial account. The only published disposal rates in Cuyahoga County are at C&D facilities: Boyas Excavating at $14 per cubic yard and Rosby Resource Recycling at $10.25 per cubic yard plus a $2.60 per ton disposal fee. Ohio's statewide disposal surcharge is $4.75 per ton. You must call each transfer station directly to get MSW pricing.

Cuyahoga County has zero active MSW landfills within its borders — all waste goes through approximately nine licensed transfer stations operated by private companies (Rumpke, Republic, WM) before being trucked 35 to 75 miles to out-of-county landfills. The transport cost is baked into the gate rate, and all three major operators negotiate pricing by commercial account rather than posting public rates. This makes Cleveland the most opaque disposal market in Ohio, unlike Columbus where SWACO publishes $39.75 per ton.

Rosby Resource Recycling in Brooklyn Heights charges $10.25 per cubic yard plus a $2.60 per ton disposal fee for mixed construction debris — the lowest posted C&D rate in Cuyahoga County. Boyas Excavating in Valley View charges $14 per cubic yard with a $65 minimum. Both are located near I-77/I-480 and both have Saturday hours. For shingles specifically, Rosby charges $12.25 per cubic yard. Rosby also offers LEED recycling documentation, which is valuable for commercial contractor jobs.

Boyas Excavating in Valley View accepts yard waste: grass and leaves at $10 per cubic yard, tree branches under 12 inches at $12 per cubic yard, large tree lengths over 12 inches at $24 per cubic yard, and stumps at $35 per cubic yard. Rosby does NOT accept yard waste of any kind. MSW transfer stations may accept yard waste mixed in with general loads, but you will pay the full MSW transfer station rate. Always separate yard waste and route it to Boyas at their lower per-cubic-yard rates.

Republic Services' Glenwillow Transfer Station has the longest weekday hours at 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Rumpke's Harvard Avenue station closes at noon for box trucks, 3:00 PM for credit card customers, and 4:00 PM for account holders — set up an account to get the full window. WM in Oakwood Village closes earliest at 2:00 PM. For weekends, Boyas has year-round Saturday hours (7:30 to 11:30 AM) and Rosby has Saturday hours May through October (8:00 AM to noon). No MSW transfer station has Saturday hours.
