At Prime Dumpster, we set roll-off dumpsters throughout Converse, Texas, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Converse sits on San Antonio's north east shoulder in Bexar County, inside the FM 78 and Loop 1604 triangle, and the work splits between new residential construction on the Judson side, remodeling in the older blocks near Seguin Road, and light industrial and warehouse turnover along the rail corridor.
Converse prices move on four things: the container size, the weight of what goes in, the days it stands there, and the disposal charge at the far end. There is also a permit here that almost nobody expects, and it is not filed where you would look for it. Below are our ranges, who may lawfully collect in Converse, what the city requires before a container goes down, and what happens to the load.

Start with the paperwork, because in Converse it comes before the container.
The city treats a temporary storage container or a dumpster as a building permit item, issued for thirty days at a time, and prices it in the building department's own fee table rather than anywhere in the trash rules. That means a short lead time on the city's side and a hard thirty-day clock on yours, and both belong in the quote conversation before a date is set.
Weight is the next lever. Caliche, limestone, slab concrete, brick and the dense stucco that comes off a Bexar County remodel reach the tonnage allowance while the container still looks half loaded. Heavy material usually belongs in a smaller size emptied twice.
Volume sets the opening figure. Give your account manager the room count, the roof area or the slab footage and the size follows from that.
Who may collect is the fourth lever, and in Converse it is a genuine step rather than a formality. The city has granted an exclusive franchise over the collection and disposal of garbage, brush and refuse generated inside the city limits, so the arrangement has to be set up properly before a truck is dispatched. One stream sits outside that: brush. A Converse business or industrial property may contract with anyone to remove brush by any lawful means, provided it is out of public view within ninety-six hours.

Size on volume, check it against weight, then look at the Converse lot and the gate. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material size. Slab concrete, brick, caliche, stucco and soil go in it, and it is the one that still fits beside a house on the older Seguin Road streets.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a cleared garage, one gutted bathroom, or the carpet and tile out of a two-bedroom house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual answer for a remodel crossing several rooms or a small tenant finish. Framing, cabinets, drywall and fixtures all ride in it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house renovation, an addition, or new construction on a Judson-area lot producing bulky mixed debris over weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container placed in Converse. It is a demolition and high-volume construction size, and it needs the most ground and the straightest approach.
Describe the job to your account manager and they will name the size and start the permit conversation at the same time.
Yes, and this is the answer that catches people out, even on private property. A driveway drop in Converse still runs through the building department.
Converse lists temporary storage containers and dumpsters in its building permit fee schedule as a thirty-day permit. It is a building permit, issued by the building department, and the fee is set in the city's adopted construction fee table. Thirty days is the stated term, so a longer job needs the permit renewed rather than simply left to run. Nothing in the city's trash chapter mentions this, and nothing in the streets chapter does either, which is exactly why it gets missed.
The second question is who may collect, and Converse has settled that in advance. The city council granted an exclusive franchise to a single contractor covering the collection and disposal of recyclable material, garbage and solid waste generated inside the city limits. The detailed rules are not printed in the code at all: a collection and transportation agreement is adopted by reference and kept on file in the city secretary's office. So the terms that govern a container here are obtainable, but they are not online, and your account manager handles that rather than leaving you to find out at the gate.
Brush is the exception worth knowing. The city does not normally provide brush pickup to businesses or industrial sites, and those owners may contract with anyone to remove it lawfully, so long as it is out of public view within ninety-six hours. The city will also quote a price to chip and remove the brush itself, and you may take that or arrange your own removal.
The street is not a published route. Converse's right-of-way rules are written about utility facilities from end to end, with registration, construction permits and engineering plans, and they say nothing about a container. We do not promise a street placement in Converse. Private property plus the building permit is the arrangement that works, and your account manager confirms both before the truck is scheduled.
Framing, drywall, stucco, flooring, roofing, cabinets, doors, fixtures, furniture and ordinary cleanout debris are all normal Converse loads. The exclusions come from hazardous waste law and from how the city handles particular streams.
Keep out of a Converse container: paint, thinners and solvents, part-used aerosols, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, used motor oil and filters, gasoline, propane and other pressurized cylinders, every kind of battery, fluorescent tubes, electronics and whole tires. Those have their own routes and a container is not one of them.
Converse treats brush as a stream of its own, and the code says plainly that brush may not be commingled with bulk garbage. Mixing cleared brush into a construction load is the quickest way to create a problem on a Converse job, and because brush is the one stream a business may send out with anyone, keeping it separate also keeps your cheapest option open.
Two city rules shape how the rest is stored while it waits. Bulk garbage at a business or industrial property, which the code names as including scrap lumber and construction debris, must go in a dumpster or be kept out of public view, and a tarp does not count as out of view. Trash that is noxious or offensive through odor, dust or fumes has to go to the landfill immediately rather than sit. Illegal dumping in the right of way or on public property is a class C misdemeanor with a five hundred dollar fine, and the city posts signs saying so at every street entering town.
Pull the restricted items before loading rather than after. A single refused item can turn a whole container back, and your account manager can say where each one belongs.
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.
Converse runs no disposal site of its own, and that is the key to understanding the destination here. Both halves of the job, collection and disposal, sit inside the city's exclusive franchise, and the agreement that names the receiving site is the one on file with the city secretary rather than anything printed in the code. There is no public gate in Converse you can drive a load to, so no municipal facility is listed here.
What the code does tell you is how the city thinks about the streams. Noxious or offensive business and industrial trash must go to the landfill immediately. Brush is separated out entirely, with the city offering to chip and remove it on a quoted basis. Household bulk garbage is collected on a monthly cycle, in the week of the third Monday, and only put out from noon on the Friday before.
That structure has a practical consequence for a construction job. Because brush is the one stream a Converse business can route independently, and because the city will price chipping it, the cheapest arrangement on a lot-clearing job is usually two containers rather than one: cleared vegetation handled on its own, and building debris handled inside the franchise.
Clean concrete, clean metal and clean untreated wood are worth keeping apart for the same reason. Each has its own outlet in the San Antonio market and each is cheaper to move on its own than mixed into a general load. Your account manager names the receiving arrangement before your Converse container is collected and flags any stream that should travel separately.
Converse orders are usually scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Build in extra time for the building permit, because that comes first and it is the step people forget.
Five habits that keep a Converse drop on schedule:
Think about the end of the job as well as the start. A thirty-day permit term means a container left on site past its date is a compliance problem rather than just an extra rental day, so book the pickup when you book the drop.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers all of Converse, from the older streets off Seguin Road out through the Judson-area subdivisions to the industrial blocks along the rail line, and the same routes carry us through Universal City, Kirby and the rest of north east Bexar County. Give us the Converse address and the scope, and we will fit delivery, pickup and disposal around your permit dates.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will choose the container, start the permit and collection steps, and give you a firm number while you are on the phone.
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.
Converse rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container over five days. Weight and the disposal arrangement move the final figure, and the city permit is a separate cost. Your account manager confirms the tonnage and overage rate at booking.
For anything beyond a couple of pickup loads, the container wins in Converse. Self-hauling means a disposal charge on every trip, fuel across the whole north east side of Bexar County, time at the gate, and handling every item twice instead of once.
It will. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container in Converse, with space around it for a bed frame, a dresser and a dozen cartons. Soft furniture runs out of room long before it runs out of allowed weight.
No paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, used oil, gasoline, propane cylinders, batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics or tires. Converse also keeps brush as a separate stream, so cleared vegetation should not be commingled with construction debris in the same container.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price in Converse at $399 to $499. Which option is cheapest overall depends on the material. Caliche, brick and slab from a Bexar County remodel hit the weight allowance half loaded, so two sorted containers often beat one mixed container.
A three-day Converse rental usually prices much like five, because delivery, the haul and the disposal charge are the real cost rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves it. Settle the included tonnage and the per-ton overage with your account manager before you book.
Wood, drywall, stucco, plaster, flooring, roofing, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material are all fine in Converse. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too and are usually cheaper in a container of their own. Raise anything unusual with your account manager first.
