There are two ways to get a large volume of unwanted material off a property: rent a container and fill it yourself, or hire people who load and take it away. Which is cheaper is not a general question, and anybody who tells you one always wins is selling one of them.
Just-In-Time Moving does hauling across West Valley City and Salt Lake County, and this is a fair account of both.
A dumpster is usually cheaper when
The volume is large and the timeline is long. A renovation, a full property clear-out, or anything generating waste over days or weeks. You pay once for the container and fill it at your own pace.
You are doing the work anyway. If you or a contractor are already on site handling material, the loading labour costs you nothing extra.
The material is uniform and heavy. Construction debris, concrete, roofing. This is what containers are built for.
You have somewhere to put it. A driveway that can take a container without blocking access, and permission if it goes anywhere near a public way.
A hauling service is usually cheaper when
The volume is moderate. A garage, a basement, a few rooms. Below a certain point you are paying for container capacity you will not use.
The labour is the problem. If the reason the material is still there is that nobody can lift it, a container does not help. It sits in the driveway for a week and then leaves half full.
You need it gone quickly. A crew is measured in hours; a container is measured in days including delivery and collection.
Access is difficult. No driveway, an HOA, or a route from the material to the street that a container cannot shorten.
The items are heavy individually. Appliances, safes, exercise equipment, furniture. The difficulty is getting each one out of the house, which a container does not address at all.
The honest middle
Sometimes both. A container for the bulk over a fortnight, and a crew for one afternoon for the ten things nobody can move. That is often cheaper than either alone.

Getting a real comparison
