Costs of Landfill and Fill Materials

[PeterZ]

Hello

I received an invoice for the disposal and loading of material after drainage.
In total, I have disposed of 180 tons of waste and filled with 153 tons of macadam.
The disposal site is about 20 km from my house.
For this extra work, I received an invoice of 145,000 SEK.
I wonder if this can be correct? It sounds quite a lot.
How can I check if the invoice is correct?
Thanks for all the tips!!

It sounds spontaneously a bit high but not unreasonable. Ask for a specification. There might be high landfill fees.

I paid about 6000kr to have 20 tons of material hauled away. At the same price, you should have paid 54000:- for removal. Macadam costs about 100kr/ton, and a load of 10 tons should cost about 1500kr to have delivered. So, the macadam should have ended up costing maybe 35-40000kr.

So it looks like on the invoice:

And the rest up to 145 kkr?

There we have the explanation - there are a lot of machine costs included. "Load masses 1 day 3500kr" and "excavator truck 700kr/h". That, plus slightly higher mass costs than I had, explains the cost. I had my own tractor and rental trailer.

Where is the rest of the invoice? That doesn't add up to 145,000.
