Regrowing dead lawn

Thought this would fit in this section.

After spray some weedkillers all over my lawn, basically a good 90% of my lawn is dead grass and still weeds that have not been fully killed.

I am currently shoveling and turning the soil a bit day by day ( really labour intensive). Basically i'm pulling out the old grass and weeds and then adding fresh soil to the lawn + seeding the lawn with new grass seeds. But there are a few questions ( I have googled, but there is a lot of mixed answers)

1) Should i just rent a tiller machine? IF so, does anyone here know a company + rates? ( This is due to the fact that the old grass is really hard to take out with a shovel)
2) Do i really need fertilizer? I have bought couple bags of "enriched" lawn soil ( The Home Depot lady said it was fine for growing grass in normal conditions )
3) Where do i throw the soil + weed + dead grass mixture. Apprently the garbage bin with the green lid can only take grass and grass only.

Thanks. I might have more questions as i go.
