My dump charges $14.25/cu.yd with a 3 cu.yd min.... I know this can be relative in many ways, but I need to build this into the pricing. I need some guidance here. I know how to put gas and labor for bagging in but not sure what an avg sqft of lawn would generate a cu.yd of clippings. Also is my dump being pricey or is this a good price. I am just starting and going to bid a house a business and a couple of rentals all with one account. Thanks

NO GRASS CLIPPINGS ALLOWED on the dump sign in mid michigan. farmers like them for cattle if there is no chemicals on lawn, or spread in there fields for free
