At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Coronado, California, and the rest of the island in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older cottages near Orange Avenue get gutted and rebuilt every season, the Coronado Cays sees steady waterfront work, and construction crews on hotel and military housing jobs need somewhere to put the debris. A roll-off container is the practical answer on a street where space is tight.
Your final price here turns on four things: the size you pick, how heavy your debris is, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving landfill charges per ton. Below you will find those costs, the street permit the City expects, where your load ends up, and what you cannot load.

Four things move the number on a Coronado quote, and only one of them is the container itself.
Size comes first. A bigger container costs more to deliver and haul, but guessing small is the more expensive mistake, because an overweight load picks up overage charges and a second trip costs more than the size you skipped.
Weight is the one that surprises people. Stucco, roof tile, and old patio concrete are dense, so a small container filled with them can hit its weight allowance when it still looks half empty. Keeping heavy material in its own load almost always beats mixing it with light remodel debris.
Disposal rates do the rest. Loads from the island cross the bridge to be weighed, and the public landfill that serves this part of San Diego County charges construction and demolition debris at a higher rate per ton than household trash, and charges an out-of-city rate on top of that. The current rate sheet puts non-city construction debris at $257 per ton, with a $50 charge for any load that arrives uncovered. Your account manager can estimate the tonnage before you book so none of that lands as a surprise.
Island logistics matter too. Coronado streets are narrow, parking is contested, and the City limits how much curb a container may occupy, so placement is part of the price conversation rather than an afterthought.

Match the container to the volume you expect and the weight of what you are throwing out. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes for Coronado jobs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container available, and it is the right call for a single bathroom, a small patio tear-out, or a garage sort. It is also the correct choice for concrete, brick, and tile, which reach their weight allowance long before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground: a kitchen refresh, pulled-up flooring, or a modest roof tear-off on a cottage. You get noticeably more room than the smallest size without paying for space you will not fill.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most island homeowners end up renting. It absorbs a full house cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms, and it still fits in a driveway on most lots.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for whole-structure renovations, additions, and new residential builds. When a job produces mixed debris in volume, this is the size that keeps one container on site instead of three.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, and it belongs on commercial sites, resort and hotel refurbishment work, and demolition that generates a very high volume of light material.
If you are between two sizes, describe the job to your account manager and they will tell you which one actually fits.
On private property, a container in your own driveway or inside a fenced job site does not need a City permit. The rule changes the moment any part of it sits on a Coronado street, sidewalk, or parkway.
For that, the City of Coronado requires a Right-of-Way Permit, and the published container standards are specific. Placement on private property comes first: the City will not issue a right-of-way permit if there is adequate space on the property itself. If a street placement is approved, the container may stay no longer than seven calendar days unless the work is tied to an approved building permit, and it may not take up more than 20 linear feet of curb, including the room the truck needs to reach it.
Several conditions catch people out. The applicant posts "No Parking, Tow Away" signs at both ends of the space at least 72 hours before delivery. The permit number and approved dates must be displayed on the container the whole time it is there. Both homeowners and contractors have to file a certificate of insurance naming the City as an additional insured. The permit is discretionary, and the City can revoke it and have the container removed on 48 hours' notice at your cost.
Applications and the container conditions sheet live on the City's Right-of-Way Permits page. The Public Services and Engineering Department answers questions at 619-522-7383. One more thing to know early: Coronado runs its bin service through an exclusive franchise, and the City's own container sheet tells applicants to use the franchised hauler for trash containers in the right-of-way. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will confirm how that applies to your address and who to talk to before anything is scheduled.
Ordinary remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from California's hazardous waste rules, which apply everywhere in the state, plus what the receiving landfill turns away at the gate.
California bans a long list of household items from the trash, and the state's waste banned from the trash page is the one to check before you load. Paint of any kind, solvents and thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, antifreeze, and non-empty aerosol cans all have to go elsewhere. So do every type of battery, fluorescent tubes, LED bulbs, and propane cylinders. Asbestos is banned outright, and treated wood with preservatives in it has to be handled as hazardous waste rather than lumber.
Electronics are a separate problem. Televisions, monitors, computers, printers, microwaves, and phones are all barred, and the landfill requires that electronics, appliances, and household hazardous material be dealt with before a vehicle enters the tipping area. Tires are banned as well, for mosquito and fire reasons rather than chemical ones.
Liquids, fuel, and pressurized cylinders never belong in a roll-off container regardless of the project. If you are holding something and cannot tell which pile it goes in, send a photo to your account manager and ask first.
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.
Loads from Coronado leave the island and are weighed at a public facility on the mainland. The Miramar Landfill, run by the City of San Diego's Environmental Services Department, is the publicly operated landfill serving this part of the county and it publishes its own disposal rates. It sits at 5180 Convoy St., San Diego, CA 92111 and is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sundays, with self-dumping vehicles taken until 4:30 p.m.
Two things about Miramar affect your bill directly. Construction and demolition debris is priced well above household trash per ton, and because Coronado is outside the City of San Diego, a load from the island is charged at the higher out-of-city rate. The published fee sheet runs through June 2027 and is worth a look if you are budgeting a large tear-off.
Coronado's curbside collection is handled under an exclusive City franchise, so the route a particular container takes can depend on the arrangement behind it. Your account manager confirms the receiving facility and the per-ton rate that applies to your load before delivery, not after.
5180 Convoy St., San Diego, CA 92111
Run by the City of San Diego. Open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sundays.
Most Coronado deliveries can be booked for one to two business days out, arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving yourself a few extra days is smarter on the island, because a street placement needs signs posted three days ahead and a permit in hand.
A few things that make delivery day go smoothly:
Keep the landfill calendar in mind as well. Miramar is closed on Sundays, so a container filled late on Saturday will not be emptied until Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Coronado, from the Village streets off Orange Avenue to the Coronado Cays and the homes along the Silver Strand. We also serve the South Bay communities just over the bridge, and we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your project dates rather than ours.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, tell you where the load is going, and quote a real number on the call.
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 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a standard five-day rental. What you load matters as much as the size, since construction debris is charged at a premium per ton at the receiving landfill. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything bigger than a car load, renting wins. Every self-haul run from the island means crossing the bridge, paying at the gate, and driving back, and the gate charges a minimum no matter how light the load is. One container holds what several pickup runs would and costs less in fuel and hours.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged household goods. Furniture runs out of room long before it runs out of weight allowance, so volume is the thing to plan around.
Keep out paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, fuel, and pressurized cylinders including propane tanks. Batteries, fluorescent tubes, and all electronics are banned under California rules. Asbestos and treated wood are prohibited too, and tires have to be handled separately. Ask your account manager about anything you are unsure of.
The 10-yard container has the lowest base price at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest overall, though, because dense material like stucco or tile can push a small container past its weight allowance and add overage charges. Splitting heavy debris into its own load is often the better saving.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because containers are priced per job rather than per day. Weight drives the final bill far more than the calendar does. If a Coronado street permit caps your placement at seven days, a short rental still works, so ask your account manager what tonnage is included.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted and often cost less per ton when kept in a separate load. When an item is borderline, your account manager can check it against the landfill's list first.
