Frequently asked questions

We’ve compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions on San Diego dumpster rentals. These are specific to the San Diego area, so if you have any questions that are more general in nature, you might also find our full FAQ page helpful.

To put a dumpster in the public right-of-way, you will need a Right-of-Way permit. The public right-of-way includes streets, sidewalks, alleys, and other public property. However, if you place it on your private property such as your driveway, then a permit is not necessary. For further information, contact the San Diego Department of Services.

San Diego dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and other factors. San Diego dumpster costs range from $756 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $872 for a 40 yard dumpster. Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and 10 day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $10.24 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices.

Additionally, you are required to place a type 1 barricade equipped with a flashing light on either side of the container. Please check out the San Diego Dumpster Placement Criteria for additional regulations.

    Dumpster was half the size of my last 10 yard dumpster i rented. My delivery came very late in the day so i really only had the dumpster for 2 days. I had to call throughout the entire day. Customer service was awesome minus the late delivery. I feel i paid twice as much as the last dumpster i rented for half the size.

    I was very impressed by the driver...He was very friendly and very enjoyable...The problem i had was the size of the container...The container was very short instead of the normal high container...The driver explain to me that whoever took the order marked a25 vs 40...Since he was very friendly and enjoyable i did not have the heart to tell him that i was not satisfied and rec’d the container...My husband and i had a hard time trying to keep the trash flat on the container...Other than that i thank you for the service...Connie
