We price by the space your waste takes up in the van, which is how the industry works and the only way to give a firm number from a photo. A quarter load is roughly the equivalent of a small bedroom clear-out; a full load is 12 cubic yards, or about two builders' skips' worth of bagged household waste by volume.
Everything below is inclusive. That matters in this trade because the common tactic is a low headline price with transfer station charges, congestion charge or gate fees added afterwards. Ask any Kent carrier whether their quote is all-in before you book.
