It has been both ways for me. Be prepared for both.
The last time I brought a truck load to the dump it was $20 per load and didn't have to go over the scale. I think if it's a larger load is the only time you have to go over the scale but I'm not 100% sure as I never had to have it weighed. I think you'll pay more if you're paying per bag.
