At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Elk Grove, California, and the southern Sacramento County communities around it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Elk Grove is one of the fastest-growing cities in the valley, and the work shows it: new residential construction south of Kammerer Road, garage and patio conversions in Laguna and Elk Grove Village, and a steady run of re-roofing across subdivisions that all reached the same age at once.
Four things decide what a container costs here: the size you choose, the weight of the material, the days you keep it, and the county's gate charge when the load is tipped. What follows covers our ranges, the local rules on placing a container, what the landfill will turn away, and where the debris actually goes.

The size you pick is the first and biggest lever. Elk Grove driveways are generally wide and flat, so the container that suits the debris is usually the container that fits, which is not true everywhere.
Weight is the second lever. Concrete from a patio or pool deck, roofing tile and valley clay soil all run heavy, and they use the included tonnage well before the container looks full.
Sorting is the third, and in Sacramento County it has real money attached. The county asks customers to separate green waste and clean wood from everything else and warns that extra fees may be added at the scales for loads that are not separated. Elk Grove's own rules push the same way. Keeping clean wood or clean concrete in its own container is often cheaper than mixing it.
City rules are the fourth. Elk Grove requires the company supplying a container to hold a current agreement with the city and to run inspected, city-stickered vehicles. That falls on us rather than on you, but it is why we confirm the arrangement before a date is promised.

Weight first, then volume, then the gate. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes across south Sacramento County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for concrete, tile, brick and soil. Dense valley material reaches the weight allowance fast, and a small container keeps the overage small.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage conversion, a bathroom strip-out, or a single roof slope coming off a tract home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice in Elk Grove, big enough for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that runs across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, new builds and projects producing a steady stream of framing, drywall and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and fits commercial work and tenant improvements along Laguna Boulevard and Elk Grove Boulevard.
Describe the material to your account manager and say whether you can keep the clean wood separate. Both answers change the recommendation.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, Elk Grove does not require a permit for a container.
In the public right-of-way the rule is firm. The city code makes it unlawful to create an obstruction in any street, road, highway, drainage feature or other public right-of-way without first obtaining an encroachment permit from the Public Works Director, and it defines an obstruction broadly enough to cover any temporary structure in the right-of-way. The application has to state the location, dimensions, purpose and nature of the obstruction and how long it will be there.
A processing fee or deposit set by the City Council is payable before the permit is issued, and the city bills its own processing and inspection time on top. The city does not print those amounts in the code, so ask Public Works for the current figure when you apply. City Hall is at 8401 Laguna Palms Way and answers on 916-691-2489.
There is a second rule, and it is unusual enough to be worth knowing. Elk Grove requires any company removing construction and demolition debris from premises in the city to hold a franchise agreement with the city, and the ordinance says so whatever the container type, naming debris boxes and roll-off containers directly. The same rule reaches the city's own residents in a helpful way: it expressly allows a homeowner clearing a house or running a renovation to use a roll-off container, provided the supplier is a hauler the city has authorized.
Your account manager confirms that side of it before your delivery date, so the only thing left for you is the drop spot.
Everyday building and household debris is welcome: framing, drywall, roofing, stucco, flooring, cabinets, fencing, carpet, furniture and cleanout material.
California keeps a long list out of the trash. Paint, solvents, used motor oil and filters, batteries, fluorescent tubes and other mercury lamps, and electronics all need a separate route. CalRecycle publishes the statewide list of material banned from the trash, and the duty is on the person who generates it.
Sacramento County adds its own requirements at the gate. Green waste and clean wood must be separated from other disposal material and dropped in their own area, and oiled, stained, painted or treated wood has to be kept out of the clean wood pile. The county's Kiefer Landfill page also notes that Kiefer is the only county facility that accepts treated wood waste such as railroad ties and fence posts.
Asbestos, liquids, contaminated soil and pressurized cylinders are excluded everywhere.
Loads must be covered. Both the county and the city code require a transported load to be secured so that nothing spills or blows out, and that is enforced at the scale. If an item is borderline, ask your account manager 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.
Most project debris from Elk Grove travels east to the county's own landfill.
The Sacramento County Landfill (Kiefer) at 12701 Kiefer Blvd., Sloughhouse, CA 95683 is owned and operated by Sacramento County through its waste management and recycling department, and the state lists the site as active and permitted. It is open Monday to Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and customers are asked to arrive at least fifteen minutes before closing. The county's own page states plainly that Kiefer accepts household waste, recyclable material and hard to handle wastes from the public, businesses and private waste haulers, and that customers do not have to be Sacramento County residents. The scales answer on 916-875-5555.
The county also runs two transfer stations under the same department, on Roseville Road in North Highlands and on Fruitridge Road in Sacramento, which is useful when a load is better suited to a transfer floor than to the landfill face.
One extra rule worth knowing before a long project: Elk Grove reserves the right to direct any load collected in the city to a facility the city owns. That has not changed the usual destination, but your account manager confirms where your load is going before delivery so the disposal charge is settled in advance.
12701 Kiefer Blvd., Sloughhouse, CA 95683
Owned and operated by Sacramento County, open Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and weekends 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It may close early if it reaches its daily vehicle limit.
Most Elk Grove rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice is useful because collection vehicles are kept out of residential streets before 6 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Kiefer takes loads seven days a week, but it can close early if it hits its daily vehicle limit, so a late afternoon haul is never guaranteed.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers all of Elk Grove, from Laguna and Laguna West across to Elk Grove Village, Sheldon and the newer construction south of Kammerer Road, as well as the unincorporated pockets nearby. Wherever the project sits, we arrange delivery, pickup and the trip to the county landfill.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm how the city rules apply, and quote the disposal honestly 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.
Elk Grove rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Weight and the county's gate charge move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
For most projects, yes. Driving to Sloughhouse and back is the better part of an hour each way, with a charge at the scale every trip. One container takes the whole job in a single haul, and you never queue at the gate.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture fills space rather than weight, so with a soft load the walls are the limit, not the tonnage.
Paint, solvents, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, asbestos, liquids, contaminated soil and pressurized cylinders all stay out. Green waste and clean wood must be separated rather than mixed. Tires and appliances need separate arrangements, so mention them at booking.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. For concrete, tile or soil it is usually the cheapest result too, because heavy valley material hits the weight allowance in any size and a smaller container limits what you pay over it.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price follows the delivery, the haul and the tipping rather than the number of days. Load weight is the real variable. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what the extra tons cost.
Framing, drywall, roofing, stucco, flooring, cabinets, doors, fencing, carpet, furniture and general cleanout junk are all fine. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too and usually cost less in their own container. If an item is not on that list, ask your account manager.
