Your comune will have the details - each comune has its own account.

The comune should have a facility where you pay per cubic metre depending on type of rubble.  However many comune now want it sorted before tipping - so cement, bricks and tiles in different loads.

Do it on an annual contract which is renewable. Then you can have no problems in the future

As Ugo says, the notary is responsible for making sure that the property is viable and can be sold.  With recent changes in the law you are required to sign plans of the property to show that it is as it results at the catasto.   He will do the necessary searches for debt and mortgages.    He is not responsible for stuff that he cannot know - whether the electrics are good, etc.  The seller has to declare that he is up to date with his property taxes (those weighed on the property and not the on the person)  The notary will also make sure that the property belongs to the seller and that the sale can go through. Your agent is legally responsible for telling you the truth and making sure that the house is legal.  The documentation is provided by the owner/seller, not the agent  The agent will find a translator and witness - usually, but you will pay for them.  the agent cannot legally translate stuff fora public act as it is a conflict of interest. You must know what you are signing, or the act is null. The question is not whether you have a good lawyer, but whether you choose a good notary - there are lazy ones and good ones - and a good one is worth paying a bit extra for.   In your particular case alot depends on whether the 2 apartments are part of the same building or are physically separate, whether they are two independent units with their own meters and registered as such, and if they have two owners or whether they belong to the same seller.  All of these factors can increase your costs.

If you mean estate agent fees, it will depend where you are and the price of what you are selling.   Between 2 and 4% is the norm.  Technically they are set by the local Chamber of commerce, but in practise that isnt the case.

re the change of use:  Its just occurred to me that the house may be registered as a A/6 - which used to be common and means a house without services.  A notary can no longer sell an A/6 - it must be reclassified before sale - but this is not at your costs - the seller pays for this.    Ask the agent for the visura - its a public document -- and why, if it is a house, does it need change of use,

Ugo is right- ask for the visura for the property and you will see what it results as, then you can make an informed decision.

If it is still registered as a fabbricato rurale then this is the case, but I assume that the house has been reregistered as an ente urbano, but not as a house seeing it has no bathroom.  Or it may down to the translation of farmhouse which is more a casa colonica than a fabbricato rurale.     It may be an unita colabente - a trick owners use to not pay IMU, or something else such as a barn.  Obviously if it needs restoration the destination of the building cannot be changed before the sale, as it requires building concessions etc - so you would pay tax not on the rateable value but on the price paid - which is usually a fair bit more.  If it is still a fabbricato rurale then it would have to be changed to an ente urbano before the sale at the expense of the seller who would also pay the fines for not having done it in 2012.
