About WasteCalc API

We built the data infrastructure construction software teams need to handle waste estimation accurately.

What we do

WasteCalc API is a REST API that returns construction and demolition (C&D) waste estimates for any project. Send us your project type, square footage, and material mix - we return waste totals by category, recommended dumpster sizes, tipping fee estimates by ZIP code, recycling diversion percentages, and EPA regulatory flags.

Why we built it

Construction project managers, dumpster rental platforms, and waste hauler dispatch tools all need the same underlying data: how much waste will this project generate, where will it go, and what will it cost? That data exists in EPA publications and county waste schedules - but assembling it into a usable form takes months of work.

We did that work once, keep it current, and serve it as a simple API so you don't have to.

Data sources

  • EPA Construction and Demolition Debris generation rates
  • 50-state tipping fee schedules, updated quarterly
  • Municipal solid waste facility capacity data
  • RCRA hazardous material thresholds (asbestos, lead)
  • EPA Form R reporting codes and thresholds
