Contents-disposal inventory
Non-salvageable list.

Product overview
Not everything survives a flood — porous, contaminated contents get disposed of, and that disposal is its own scope apart from the structure. This tool turns a non-salvageable item count into a debris volume so the contents haul-away is sized, not guessed. Reach for it while you're building the non-salvageable inventory on a Cat-3 loss, when you've flagged the soaked upholstery, particleboard furniture, and ruined boxes and need a defensible cubic-foot and cubic-yard figure to attach to the contents-disposal line.
Volume is the non-salvageable item count × an average volume per item — the default is 3 CF, a reasonable mixed-contents average across boxes, small furniture, and bagged soft goods. That total in cubic feet converts to cubic yards by dividing by 27, so the figure lines up with how haulers and roll-off dumpsters are quoted. Set the per-item volume higher for bulky pieces like mattresses and sofas, lower for small dense items. It's a scoping estimate — confirm the actual non-salvageable inventory and its volume on site, and keep the count tied to your itemized list.

Vendor insights
Mensuria writes a neutral scope built to survive review — every line item sourced to a photo, anything unprovable held back and flagged for you. It never files the estimate; a licensed adjuster confirms every line and stays the adjuster of record. Mensuria is independent and not affiliated with Verisk or Xactimate; “Xactimate-ready” means the worksheet is organized for Quick Entry.
Pricing
This tool is free — no login, no card. The full scope-drafting product is priced below; your first claim is free.

Common questions
Count the non-salvageable items and multiply by an average volume each — this tool defaults to 3 CF, a mixed-contents average. Fifty items at 3 CF is 150 CF, or about 5.5 CY. For a load heavy on mattresses and large furniture, raise the per-item figure; for small boxed goods, lower it. It's an estimate to size the haul-away, not a measurement — tie the item count to your itemized non-salvageable inventory so the disposal volume is traceable back to specific contents.
Porous items that absorbed grossly contaminated water are generally non-restorable: upholstered furniture, mattresses, particleboard and pressed-wood furniture, paper goods, and most soft goods that can't be effectively cleaned. Hard, non-porous items — sealed plastics, glass, metal, some solid wood — can often be cleaned and kept. Build the non-salvageable list from what can't be restored, photograph it, and use that count here so the disposal volume and the inventory line up in the file.
Yes. Structural debris — drywall, flooring, insulation from the tear-out — is one disposal scope; non-salvageable contents are another, and they're inventoried and often handled under the contents portion of the claim. Keep them as distinct line items so the coverage, the inventory, and the volumes each stand on their own. Use the debris disposal tool for the structure and this one for the contents, then reconcile both against the actual dumpster loads on site.
Divide the total cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards. A hundred items at 3 CF is 300 CF, which is about 11 CY — roughly a 10-to-20 CY roll-off once loosely loaded. Contents pack loose, so expect the practical volume to run a bit higher than the tight math. Scope the cubic-yard figure the tool returns, then confirm the dumpster size and count on site so the contents-disposal line matches the haul that actually leaves.
