At Prime Dumpster, we handle roll-off container service from 10 to 40 yards for homes, contractors and property managers in Concord, California. The work in this part of Contra Costa County is mostly renovation: 1950s ranch houses being opened up in the neighborhoods off Clayton Road, bathroom and kitchen upgrades around Todos Santos Plaza, and commercial tenant improvement and construction along the Ygnacio Valley corridor.
Concord is the strictest city in this part of the county for container service, and it is better to know that before you order than after. The city holds an exclusive collection arrangement, and any project over a modest value is also pulled into a recycling program with its own reporting platform. Below are our price ranges, exactly how those rules work, what California keeps out of a container, and how fast we reach the 94521 ZIP code.

Five things move a Concord number, and one of them is unique to this city.
The city's diversion rules come first. Concord requires a covered project to divert at least 65 percent by weight of its construction and demolition debris from landfill, plus at least 75 percent by weight of all inert debris such as concrete, asphalt and brick. Hitting those figures changes where material goes and therefore what the haul costs.
Weight is second, as always. Stucco, roof tile, slab concrete and Bay Area clay all read heavy on a scale, so a small container of them meets its allowance while it still looks half empty.
Size follows from the first two. One size up usually costs less than an overage charge and a second haul, but on a covered project the sorting plan matters more than the size.
Fourth is the receiving site. Concord works from a list of approved facilities per material type, so the destination is not a free choice and your account manager confirms it.
Fifth is the city's own program fee and performance security on a covered project, which are set by city resolution and quoted by the city, not by us.

Choose the volume first, then check weight and sorting. The containers run 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material size, about three pickup loads. For concrete, stucco, tile or soil it is the right pick, because the weight limit arrives long before the walls are full. It is also the practical size for the separate inert container a covered project usually needs.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage clearing or a modest roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the Concord standard for an interior renovation or a full house cleanout, and it fits most driveways here without blocking the sidewalk.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits an addition, a gut remodel or new residential construction with a lot of mixed framing waste.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and it is for commercial demolition and large clearouts.
Because the diversion rules reward separating material, size and sorting get planned together. Your account manager will work through both with you.
On private property, a driveway or a construction pad, you need no placement permit from Concord, and the city's own rules push you that way. A business's receptacles may not be placed within the limits of any street or other public place, while a residence's receptacles may sit in the right-of-way immediately adjacent to the premises provided they do not interfere with its use.
For anything genuinely in the right-of-way, Concord issues an encroachment permit through its Engineering Division, applied for on the city's online permit portal. The city reviews the submission, sets the permit conditions and fees, and tells the applicant what is due when the permit is ready. The Permit Center is at 1950 Parkside Drive, Building D, on 925-671-3425. Note the knock-on effect: an encroachment permit is itself one of the permits that can make a job a covered project under the city's recycling rules.
Now the part that matters most. Concord reserves unto itself the exclusive right to collect solid waste produced or found within the corporate limits, and makes it unlawful for any person to collect solid waste in the city except as its own article allows. Collection may be carried out by the city, or by a person the city has contracted with, and separately by self-haulers as allowed under state law. Anyone else needs a special written permit, and unauthorized collection is a misdemeanour.
The construction side has its own route, and it is an unusual one. On a covered project the applicant is told to use the city franchise hauler to move construction and demolition debris to certified recyclers. The applicant may instead self-haul, or direct an affiliate to haul, with no waiver required. But an applicant may only use a non-affiliated company to haul that material if the franchise hauler has granted a waiver, in writing, with a waiver number issued to the applicant. In other words the gate on a third-party container in Concord is held by the incumbent, not by the city.
A covered project is defined by value rather than by size. A residential or commercial job counts once its total cost passes a threshold set in the city's recycling article. A city-owned or city-sponsored job counts at a higher threshold. A roofing job counts above a lower value, or where half the roof area is replaced, or where five squares of material are needed. A demolition project is covered at any value at all. A performance security goes in with the permit application, and the city refunds it early if the applicant files a hauling agreement with the franchise hauler. Your account manager will tell you honestly where your project sits and what we can do at your address.
Standard renovation and cleanout debris is fine. Three sets of limits apply in Concord.
California's statewide rules are the first. CalRecycle's list of wastes banned from the trash covers all batteries, fluorescent lamps, latex and oil-based paint, solvents, part-used aerosol cans, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil and filters, tires, asbestos, treated wood and compressed gas cylinders, along with electronics such as televisions, monitors, laptops, printers and phones.
The city's diversion rules are the second, and they work the other way round: rather than banning a material they require most of it to be recovered. Concord's construction and demolition compliance page sets out how reporting works. Permit holders on a covered project file their plan and their final numbers through a named online system. That same system lists the approved facilities and the material types each one takes. A facility that is not already on the list has to be assessed first, at the applicant's cost. The city's compliance contact answers on 925-671-3107.
Third is the universal set: no hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, propane or pressurized tanks in any container. Lids on containers also have to stay closed while stored or placed for collection here. Ask your account manager about anything borderline.
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.
Material from a Concord job goes to a facility approved for that material. On a covered project the receipt has to show the weight, the material type, and whether the load was recycled, landfilled or taken in as a mixed construction load. That receipt is what proves your diversion numbers, so it is worth asking for it at the gate every time.
Contra Costa County has a full set of permitted disposal, transfer and processing sites within a short haul of Concord, in Martinez, Pittsburg, Bay Point and Richmond. Every active one was checked against the state facility database, and every one is run by a private operator rather than by a public agency. So no site is named here and none is listed as a facility. That is a publishing rule on our side, not a limit on where loads can go.
Household hazardous waste has a separate public route in this county through the local sanitary district's drop-off facility, which takes residents' material at no charge and small business material by appointment. Your account manager will point you there for paint, oil, batteries and similar items rather than let them ride in the container.
Once the covered-project question is settled, most Concord orders can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Allow longer where a waiver or a facility approval is part of the picture, because that timing is not ours to control.
Five things that keep it on track:
Concord's published street moratorium dates can close a street to work at certain times of year, so if your placement touches the roadway, check those before fixing a date.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers central and east Contra Costa County, from Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and Martinez on Concord's own borders out through Lafayette, Pittsburg and Antioch. Every city in this county writes its own franchise and diversion rules, so your account manager checks the address before a delivery is confirmed.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will work out whether the city's covered-project rules reach your job, plan the sorting with you and give you a straight answer about what we can do at your site.
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.
A container in Concord runs $399 to $499 at 10 yards and up to $699 to $899 at 40 yards on a five-day rental. Material weight, the approved facility your load goes to and the city's diversion requirements all shape the final figure. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
A container almost always wins here, and the paperwork is the reason. A covered project needs weight tickets showing material type and disposition, which a facility issues on a proper haul. Self-hauling means repeated trips, minimum charges and a records trail you have to assemble yourself.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a chair and some boxed clutter. Upholstered furniture uses volume rather than weight, so space runs out well before the allowance does.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane, asbestos and treated wood all stay out. California also bans batteries, fluorescent lamps, tires, gas cylinders and electronics from the trash. Concord adds diversion duties on top, so ask your account manager how they apply to your load.
The 10-yard container has the lowest start at $399 to $499, and for concrete or stucco it is also the right size. On a covered project the cheapest total often comes from two containers, one for inert debris and one for the rest, because that is how the diversion targets are met.
Three days usually costs what the standard five-day rental costs, since the price follows the project rather than the days on site. The material and its weight matter much more. Ask your account manager for the extension rate if the schedule could move.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, stucco, cabinets, doors, fixtures, furniture and general household debris are all allowed. Concrete, asphalt and brick are fine within the weight allowance and are better separated here. Your account manager will check anything unusual before the container is delivered.
