At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Calexico, California, and the southern Imperial Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Home remodels, yard and patio makeovers, cleanouts before a move, and ongoing residential and commercial construction near the border keep containers in steady use here.
Four things shape your price: the container size, the type of debris, the rental length, and the disposal fees at the site that takes your load. Keep reading for our price ranges, Imperial County's disposal fees, the City's street permit, and what California bans from the trash.

Here's how the numbers come together for a Calexico project.
Your container size is the starting point. Getting the size right the first time keeps you from paying for a second delivery.
Imperial County charges its disposal fee by container size, not only by weight. The county's gate fee schedule lists $172.00 for an open-top roll-off of 20 yards or less, $206.00 for 21 to 30 yards, and $224.00 for 31 to 40 yards. Those are county disposal fees, not our rental prices.
The mix of debris matters, too. Under the same schedule, a load that is at least a quarter masonry, pipe, fencing, or other building material counts as demolition waste and carries special handling fees. Loads mixed with blacktop, concrete, or dirt are charged differently as well.
Placement can add a cost. A container in a City street needs an encroachment permit, and the fee on the City's application is $500.00 for residential work and $900.00 for commercial. Keeping the dumpster in your driveway avoids that fee.

Picture how much debris you'll have, then think about how much it weighs. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom update, a single room cleanout, or a small pile of broken concrete or adobe. Heavy material hits the weight limit well before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a solid fit for a garage cleanout, new flooring, or tearing out an old patio cover.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is popular in Calexico for whole-home cleanouts and larger remodels. It's also the biggest size in the county's lowest disposal bracket for open-top roll-offs.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, major renovations, and new construction with a mix of lumber, drywall, and stucco.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest option. It's meant for commercial projects, full demolition, and large property cleanouts.
If you're torn between two sizes, your account manager can compare them against your project and the county's disposal brackets.
If your dumpster stays on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced lot, you don't need the City's encroachment permit. Once any part of it sits on a City street or right-of-way, you do.
Calexico spells this out. Its Encroachment Permit page lists placing a dumpster or container for remodel debris on the street or City right-of-way as work the permit covers. The City may ask for traffic control where a street or sidewalk is blocked, liability insurance, and a site plan with your work schedule.
The Public Works Department's Engineering Division handles the permit at 549 Pierce Avenue. City Hall is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The fee is listed in the price section above.
The City doesn't publish a review time, so call the Engineering Division at 760-768-2160 before you choose a delivery date. If you can't tell where your property line ends, your account manager can help you reach the right person.
Most building and cleanout debris is fine. The main limits come from California's list of household wastes that are banned from the trash.
CalRecycle's list includes all batteries, fluorescent tubes, LED bulbs, latex and oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, and motor oil and filters. Tires, asbestos, treated wood, propane tanks, and electronics are on the list too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster either. Farm and garden chemicals are common in the valley, so keep pesticide and herbicide containers out of your load.
Some items are allowed at county sites for a separate fee. Tires and appliances like water heaters, washers, and refrigerators are priced per piece, so it pays to keep them apart from the rest of your debris.
Ask your account manager about any item you're unsure of 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.
The county disposal site closest to town is the Calexico Solid Waste Site at 133 W. Highway 98, east of Hammers Road and about 3 miles west of Calexico. Imperial County Public Works runs it, and the State lists it as active and permitted.
The site keeps short hours. The county's disposal site schedule shows it open Wednesdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., plus alternating Saturdays. Several other county transfer stations in the valley are now closed for good. For questions, call the county's solid waste line at 442-265-1818 on weekdays.
The valley also has a privately run landfill in the City of Imperial. The City of Calexico contracts its trash collection through a franchise hauler, and it doesn't say where roll-off loads must go. Your account manager will confirm how the franchise applies to your address and where your load is headed before delivery.
133 W. Highway 98, Calexico, CA 92231
Open Wednesdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and alternating Saturdays.
Most Calexico rentals can be arranged within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A street placement needs extra lead time for the City permit.
Keep these tips in mind:
The county site near town is open only on Wednesdays and some Saturdays, so the day your container is hauled can affect where the load goes.

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 Calexico cost $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. County disposal fees rise with container size and the type of debris. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates before you book.
Hauling a single pickup load yourself can be cheap in Imperial County. The problem is timing, since the site near Calexico opens only on Wednesdays and some Saturdays. When a project needs several loads, a dumpster saves you weeks of trips and lets you work on your own schedule.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch fills about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. The rest of the space can hold a mattress, a dresser, a few chairs, and bagged clutter. Furniture is light for its size, so you'll usually run out of room before you run into a weight problem.
California bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, LED bulbs, paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, motor oil, tires, asbestos, treated wood, propane tanks, and electronics from the trash. Liquids and fuel stay out too. Tires and large appliances carry their own county fees, so tell your account manager about them.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Keep in mind that the county's disposal fee is the same for every open-top container up to 20 yards. For a mid-size job, a 15 or 20-yard may cost you less than two small containers.
Three days usually costs about the same as our standard five-day rental. We price each job as a whole, and the size and contents of the load affect your bill more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what's included and whether extra days carry a charge.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and yard trimmings. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt can go too, though they're heavy and may change the county fee. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about before you load it.
