These are real starting prices from verified haulers in our network — not national placeholders. They include delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental, and disposal up to the container's weight allowance. Treat them as estimates: the hauler confirms the final total for your exact address and debris.
| Size | Typical job | Real local price (from) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 yard | Small cleanouts, a few truckloads, tight driveways | from $250 |
| 10 yard | Single-room or small-garage cleanout, small remodel | from $520 |
| 15 yard | Full-room remodels, kitchen/bath renos, larger garages | from $620 |
| 20 yard | Whole-home cleanouts, large remodels, roof tear-offs | from $720 |
| 40 yard | New construction, commercial demo, major cleanouts | from $920 |
| 6-12 yd lowboy | Heavy debris only: concrete, dirt, brick, asphalt | from $520 |
A standard roll-off quote in our markets is all-in for normal use. The base price covers four things:
Delivery to your address, pickup when you're done, a 7-day rental window, and disposal up to the container's included weight allowance. There's no separate drop-off or haul-away charge layered on top.
That means for most home projects — a garage cleanout, a single-room remodel, a yard clear-out — the number you see is the number you pay. The extras below only apply if you go over the weight, keep it longer, place it on the street, or sit far from the hauler's yard.
Four things move a dumpster quote up or down. Understanding them is how you keep the bill low:
| Factor | How it affects price |
|---|---|
| Size | The biggest lever. Each step up adds roughly $100-200. Right-size it — one size up beats paying for a second haul. |
| Distance | Most haulers include the first few miles free, then add about $4 per mile beyond that from their yard to your address. |
| Weight & material | Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, roofing) hits weight limits fast. Going over the included tonnage adds about $125 per extra ton. |
| Rental length | The first 7 days are included. Keeping the bin longer runs about $25 per extra day. |
There are no surprise charges if you know the four common add-ons up front. None of these apply to a normal, on-time, on-the-driveway rental:
| Fee | When it applies | Typical amount |
|---|---|---|
| Overweight | Load exceeds the included tonnage | ~$125 per extra ton |
| Extra days | You keep the bin past the included 7 days | ~$25 per day |
| Distance | Beyond the first few free miles from the yard | ~$4 per mile |
| Street permit | Placing the dumpster on a public street | $25-$100 (city-dependent) |
National booking sites quote estimated, marked-up prices and route your call to whichever hauler pays them the most — you cover that markup. Because Container Connect connects you straight to a local hauler with no broker layer, the real price is usually lower for the same size and city. A few real comparisons:
| Size & city | National site estimate | Real local price |
|---|---|---|
| 10-yard, West Covina | $735 | $520 |
| 10-yard, La Puente | $383-$653 | $520 |
| Entry size, Long Beach | ~$495 minimum | $250 (3-yard) |
Book direct: skip the national broker and rent straight from a local hauler — the same bin, without the markup.
Right-size it: one size up is cheaper than overfilling a small bin and paying for a second haul, but don't jump two sizes for space you'll never use.
Stay on the driveway: private-property placement needs no city permit, which saves the fee and the paperwork.
Watch the weight: keep concrete, dirt, and roofing in a lowboy and stay under the included tonnage to avoid the per-ton overage.
Use the window, then call: the 7 days are included with no penalty for finishing early — call for pickup as soon as you're done so you never drift into extra-day charges.
Real local prices start around $250 (3-yard) up to about $920 (40-yard), with delivery, pickup, and a 7-day rental included. The exact price depends on size, distance, and weight.
Roughly $520-$625 in our markets, 7-day rental included. National sites often quote $700+ for the same size because of markup.
The common extras are overweight (~$125/ton), extra days (~$25/day), distance (~$4/mile beyond the free miles), and a street permit ($25-$100). Driveway placement needs no permit.
Book direct with a local hauler, right-size the bin, keep it on the driveway, stay under the tonnage, and call for pickup inside the 7-day window.
Yes — delivery, pickup, the 7-day rental, and disposal up to the included weight are all in the base price. You only pay more if you go over weight, time, or need street placement.
Match your project to the right size so you never pay for a second haul — with real prices for each one.
