At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Brentwood, California, and the surrounding east Contra Costa County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Subdivisions built through the growth years are now old enough for new roofs and kitchens, Delta-area properties generate steady yard and outbuilding work, and construction continues on the south and east edges of town, so roll-off containers stay useful to homeowners and contractors alike.
Your price depends on container size, the weight and makeup of the load, how long you keep it, and the disposal charges at the receiving facility. Below, you'll find price ranges, the permit question, the City's recycling requirement for construction debris, and where a Brentwood load goes.

Four things shape what a Brentwood job costs.
Size comes first. Each step up adds to the base price, but ordering too small costs more in the end, because a second haul always beats the gap between two container sizes.
Weight comes second, and often matters more. Roofing, plaster, brick, and concrete are dense enough that a small container can hit its limit with space still showing above the load line.
Sorting comes third here, more than in most cities. Brentwood requires larger building projects to recycle at least half their debris, so a load that is already separated moves through the system more cheaply than one that is mixed.
Distance comes fourth. The public disposal sites serving Brentwood are in Livermore and Pittsburg, both a real drive from town, and that haul is part of what you pay for. Your account manager can walk you through how all four land on your quote.

Start with volume, then check the weight. We carry five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we rent. It suits a bathroom gut, a single-room cleanout, or a landscaping job, and it's the right choice for concrete, brick, and tile, which reach their weight limit long before they fill it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof job. You gain useful room without moving to the next price tier.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Brentwood households settle on. A whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms fits with margin.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on bigger renovations, new home construction, and demolition. It makes sense when a job produces mixed material in quantity.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with real tonnage behind them.

On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, no City permit is involved in Brentwood, and private property is the simplest place to put a container.
Work in the public right of way is different. The City's Engineering Department issues encroachment permits, with an application form and a bond on its forms page, and that is the route for anything that occupies the street, the curb area, or the sidewalk. Brentwood does not publish a separate container permit, so the encroachment permit is what to ask about.
The City also reserves the final say on placement. Where there's any question about where a container may stand awaiting pickup, the City code gives the director of public works the decision, and that applies to City customers and to customers of other City-authorized providers alike.
City Hall sits at 150 City Park Way and answers at 925-516-5400, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Solid Waste office is on 925-516-6090. Your account manager can help you work out which one your question belongs to before a delivery date is set.
Most building debris and household junk is fine to load. The exclusions come from the City code and from California law.
The City's own prohibited list covers hot ashes, sharps, flammables, live ammunition, household hazardous waste, infectious waste, explosives, poison, hazardous chemicals, and animal remains. Any of those found in a container can draw a contamination charge.
Electronics and universal waste have their own ban. Brentwood's code states that disposing of electronic waste such as televisions and computer monitors, and universal waste such as fluorescent bulbs and household batteries, is prohibited, and that whoever generated it is responsible for taking it to an approved recycling facility.
Medical and biohazardous waste must go through a licensed collection and disposal company, not a container.
Household hazardous waste has a free route for East Contra Costa County residents through the Delta household hazardous waste drop-off events, reachable at 925-756-1990.
Paint, solvents, fuel, oil, and asbestos stay out of any standard container. If one item has you unsure, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Brentwood is one of the few cities its size that runs its own solid waste operation, and it has done since 1994. That shapes the whole picture locally, including who may place and haul a container and where the material ends up.
For disposal, the City names two facilities open to the public year round. One is a landfill at 4001 N. Vasco Road in Livermore, open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday until 4:30 p.m. The other is a transfer station at 1300 Loveridge Road in Pittsburg, open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Both are privately operated, and both are a solid drive from town, which is why the haul shows up in a Brentwood quote.
Closer to home, the City of Brentwood Cardboard Drop-Off at 2300 Elkins Way, Brentwood, CA 94513, just off Sunset Road, is free and open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City's recycling page notes it takes flattened cardboard only, no garbage and nothing else, which is a simple way to keep packaging out of a paid container.
There is a local rule worth raising before you book. Brentwood's code gives the City the exclusive right to collect solid waste inside the city, with a short list of exceptions, so the City controls who may place and haul a container at a given address. Your account manager confirms how that applies to your project, and which facility will receive your load, before anything is scheduled.
2300 Elkins Way, Brentwood, CA 94513
Free City drop-off for flattened cardboard only, off Sunset Road. Open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Most Brentwood rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling ahead leaves room to settle the local rules, and early booking usually costs less.
A few habits make the day go smoothly:
Keep the gate hours in mind when you plan a weekend push. The Livermore landfill closes earlier on Saturday and does not open Sunday, so a container filled late in the weekend usually moves on Monday.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Dumpster rentals in Brentwood run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The debris you load and the gate charges at the receiving facility also shape the total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, renting wins easily here. The public disposal sites are out in Livermore and Pittsburg, so each self-haul trip means a long drive plus a charge at the scale. A container sits at the property for the length of the job and makes one trip at the end.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for chairs, a bed frame, and bagged household goods. Furniture fills the volume long before it troubles a weight limit, so a small container often clears a whole room.
Keep hazardous chemicals, flammables, paint, solvents, fuel, oil, sharps, hot ashes, and asbestos out of a Brentwood container. The City also bars electronics such as televisions and monitors, and universal waste such as fluorescent bulbs and batteries, from disposal, so those need an approved recycler instead.
The 10-yard container carries the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. What goes in it still decides the total. Dense material like concrete or roof tile can run a small container past its weight allowance quickly, so keeping heavy debris in its own load usually works out cheaper.
Three days normally costs the same as the standard five-day rental, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Weight is the variable that moves the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before the delivery date is set.
Most home and building debris is fine in Brentwood, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and metal are accepted too and are worth keeping separate, since the City expects larger projects to recycle at least half their debris. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
