Quick rules
- Treat tile-heavy loads with conservative assumptions.
- Validate mixed-load policy for tile plus drywall.
- Plan staged hauling if feasibility is borderline.
Decision snapshot
Planning baseline
Input 4 pickup loads where tile is dominant and compare haul feasibility.
Tile-dominant jobs often need weight-first planning over pure cubic volume.
When it flips
Material mix, moisture, and included-ton constraints are the most common reason the cheapest option stops being cheapest.
Direct strategy: If tile share is high, use smaller bins with staged hauling.

FAQ
Why do bathroom loads spike?
Tile, mortar, and fixture density add up fast.
Should I use smaller bins?
Often yes when tile is the dominant material.
What question avoids rework?
Ask if mixed tile loads are accepted under standard pricing.
