Product overview
Every tear-out generates debris that has to leave the job, and that haul-away is its own line item. This tool converts debris volume into dumpster loads so you can scope disposal without eyeballing it. Enter a measured volume when you have one, or estimate from the number of affected rooms. Reach for it after a muck-out or a large contents pull, when the pile is on the driveway and you need a defensible load count for the estimate instead of a round guess that comes back in a supplement.
Debris is figured in cubic feet, then converted to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (a cubic yard is 3×3×3 ft). Loads come from cubic yards divided by dumpster capacity, rounded up — the default is a 30 CY roll-off, a common demolition size. When you don't have a measured volume, the tool estimates from affected rooms at a default 150 CF per room; adjust that per room for heavy tear-outs or full pack-outs. Confirm actual volume and dumpster sizing on site, since compaction and haul distance affect what the disposal line should carry.

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
Convert your debris volume to cubic yards — cubic feet divided by 27 — then divide by the dumpster's capacity and round up. A 30 CY roll-off is a common demolition size, so 400 CF of debris is about 15 CY, one load. Bulky-but-light debris like insulation and cabinets fills a dumpster on volume long before it hits a weight limit, so scope by cubic yards. Match the load count in the estimate to the volume you documented so the disposal line is sourced, not a round number.
Use an affected-room count. This tool defaults to 150 CF of debris per room, which covers a typical drywall-and-flooring tear-out. For a gut to the studs with cabinets and contents, push that per-room figure higher; for a partial flood cut, lower it. It's a scoping estimate, not a measurement — once the debris is staged you can enter the actual volume and let the loads recalculate. Note in the file which basis you used so the disposal line is traceable.
A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet — a 3×3×3 ft cube. Roll-off dumpsters are sized in cubic yards: 10, 20, 30, and 40 CY are the common pulls. So 270 CF of debris is 10 CY, and a single 30 CY box holds 810 CF loose. Estimating in cubic feet and converting keeps your disposal scope in the same units the hauler quotes, which makes the line easy to reconcile against the actual invoice.
Yes. Demolition or muck-out labor covers removing the material; disposal and haul-away is the cost of the dumpster and the trip to the transfer station. They're distinct Xactimate line items, and on a Cat-3 loss disposal can carry a contaminated-debris premium. Scope the tear-out labor and the disposal separately so each is priced on its own basis and neither gets absorbed into the other — that's what keeps the estimate clean under review.
