Why the scale ticket number matters
Overage disputes end when the invoice cites the certified ticket from the landfill or transfer station. Attach a photo of the ticket to the invoice. At the 2023 US average tip fee of $56.80/ton (EREF), a single un-billed overage ton costs you more than a typical extra-day fee.

Frequently asked questions
What goes on a dumpster rental invoice?
The rental (size, days, included tons), overage tons with the scale ticket number, extra days, surcharges, trip fees, permits, tax, deposit paid and balance due.
Should I bill overage at pickup or after the landfill?
After the landfill, once you have the certified weight. Charge the card on file the same day.
