At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Davis, California, and the nearby Yolo County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Home remodels, yard overhauls, garage and rental cleanouts, and a steady pace of construction keep containers in demand with Davis homeowners and builders.
The price you pay depends on the container size, the debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below, we cover price ranges, the City's hauling and recycling rules, street permits, and what California keeps out of the trash.

Several things set the price of a dumpster in Davis.
Size is the starting point. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second haul and a second bill.
Weight matters next. Roofing, tile, and concrete are heavy, so they use up your included tonnage fast. Old furniture and cardboard fill space but add little weight.
Where your debris goes affects the cost, too. Most loads from Davis head to the Yolo County Central Landfill, which the County runs just outside town, and the County sets the disposal fees there.
Local rules play a big part here. The City of Davis gives one company an exclusive franchise to haul trash, recycling, and organic waste inside city limits. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your project before you book.

Picture the pile you'll create, then think about its weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, one crowded garage bay, or a load of old brick and concrete. Heavy debris like that reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a full roof tear-off on a small home or a two-car garage cleanout.
The 20-Yard Dumpster works well for a whole-house cleanout or pulling flooring from several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles bigger remodels, additions, and new construction with a mix of drywall, lumber, and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest option. It suits commercial work, large demolition, and major property cleanouts.
Unsure which fits? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a private lot, you generally won't need a City permit in Davis. A container on the street, curb strip, or alley is in the public right-of-way, and that calls for an encroachment permit.
The City lists a construction dumpster placed on a street next to a job site as one of the things that needs this permit. Its encroachment permit page asks you to email the application and supporting documents to PW-Permits@cityofdavis.org.
The permit desk is Engineering Permits, part of the Public Works Engineering and Transportation Department, at 23 Russell Boulevard, Suite 2. Counter hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The City doesn't list a flat fee or review time, so ask when you apply.
Call the permit desk at 530-747-8279 with questions. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot is public or private and find the right contact.
Most remodel and cleanout debris can go in. The limits come from California's statewide list of wastes banned from the trash and from the landfill's own rules.
CalRecycle's list includes fluorescent tubes and bulbs, all batteries, oil-based and latex paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, aerosol cans that aren't empty, antifreeze, and motor oil and filters. It also covers asbestos, wood treated with chemical preservatives, and gas cylinders like propane tanks. TVs, monitors, computers, and cell phones are on the list, and tires are banned too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster either. Yolo County runs a household hazardous waste drop-off at the landfill on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for chemicals you need to get rid of.
Have an item you're unsure about? Ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Davis go to the Yolo County Central Landfill, run by the County's Integrated Waste Management Division. The mailing address is 44090 County Road 28H, Woodland, CA 95776, and the site sits near County Road 28H and County Road 104. The State lists it as an active, permitted facility.
The landfill is open Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's closed on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The County's automated information line is 530-666-8729.
Davis also has strict recycling rules for building projects. Any construction, demolition, or remodel that needs a City permit must keep all land-clearing debris and 65 percent of other debris out of the landfill, and the City asks for weight receipts as proof. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going, how the City's franchise rule fits your job, and what fees apply before delivery.
44090 County Road 28H, Woodland, CA 95776
Open Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Davis rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, book a bit further ahead so the City has time to review it.
These tips help the day go smoothly:
Watch the holiday calendar, too. The landfill closes on several holidays, including Easter Sunday and Labor Day, which can push a pickup back a day.

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 Davis range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. What you throw away and the county landfill's fees also affect your final price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, renting costs less. Hauling debris yourself means gas, time, and a disposal fee on every trip out to the county landfill. Projects with a City permit also need weight receipts for recycling. One container, loaded at your own pace and hauled once, usually saves money and hassle.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves room for a mattress, a few chairs, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but fairly light, so you'll run out of space before you reach the weight limit.
California bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, tires, and electronics like TVs and computers from the trash. Asbestos, treated wood, and propane tanks are also out, along with fuel, solvents, and liquids. Your account manager can confirm any item before it goes in.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Still, heavy debris like concrete or tile can push a small container over its weight limit and add overage fees. Keeping heavy material in its own load is a simple way to save.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job instead of the day, and the weight of your debris affects the bill more than the calendar. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing, cabinets, furniture, yard waste, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt are fine too, and keeping them separate can help your project meet the City's recycling rules. Check with your account manager about anything unusual.
