At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Folsom, California, and the surrounding Sacramento County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Folsom keeps containers busy on both ends of its housing stock: granite-era cottages around Historic Folsom and Sutter Street coming up for renovation, and newer construction and tenant work in the Folsom Plan Area south of Highway 50 and around the Iron Point interchange.
Four things set your price: the size you pick, the material going in, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below you will find price ranges, how Folsom's own waste rules work, which materials the city will not take in a city container, and where a load actually ends up.

Sorting your debris is the biggest lever in Folsom, and the saving is unusually large. Sacramento County charges $61.35 a ton for normal refuse at its landfill, with a $45.00 minimum weight charge. Clean inerts, which means asphalt, tile, brick, rock, stucco, and concrete with no rebar, nothing over three feet, and no dirt or trash mixed in, go in at no fee at all. A dedicated concrete load is dramatically cheaper than the same material buried in a mixed one.
Container size sets your starting point. Stepping up one size beats booking a second haul, and it beats paying overage on a container you filled past its weight allowance.
What you load decides the weight. Folsom's older homes give up plaster, lath, and masonry that fill the allowance fast, while framing lumber, cabinets, and drywall from newer houses run out of volume first.
Local rules shape the job here more than in most towns. The City of Folsom holds the exclusive right to collect solid waste inside the city and runs its own collection utility, and construction debris sits under a separate city permit with diversion duties attached. Ask your account manager to confirm how both apply to your address before you set a date.

Pick by volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense material and the easiest to place on a narrow Historic Folsom lot. A bathroom gut, a patio tear-out, or a load of brick all suit it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. A packed garage, a laundry room redo, or carpet and pad from several rooms fit without paying for unused space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick for Folsom households. It takes a full cleanout, a kitchen and family room remodel together, or a reroof on a typical two-story home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, whole-house renovations, and framing and siding waste from new builds in the Plan Area.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial fit-outs, demolition, and warehouse cleanouts are where it earns its place.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they will pick for you.
On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, Folsom requires no dumpster permit. Keep the container clear of the sidewalk and the gutter and you are fine.
Public property is different, and the city's definition is broad. Folsom requires an encroachment permit for placing anything on, over, or under a public street, alley, sidewalk, parkway, or right-of-way, or for using public property in a way that obstructs it. Construction material is named in that definition. A separate trigger catches many jobs anyway: if loaders, dump trucks, forklifts, or similar equipment will cross a sidewalk or other public improvement to reach a new building or an addition, the encroachment permit is required before work starts.
Plan for what the application asks. It wants the location and dimensions, the dates and duration, the contractor's license number, plans or a sketch, insurance and a performance security, and the disposal site for the material being removed. The city also puts the duty to place and maintain barriers and warning devices on whoever holds the permit, and those have to match the state transportation department's standards. Fees are set by city council resolution rather than printed on the permit page.
Start with Folsom Building Services at 50 Natoma Street, reachable on 916-461-6200 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and see its building permits page. For questions about containers and collection, the city's Waste and Recycling Division commercial desk answers on 916-461-6730. Your account manager can help you work out which office you need first.
Most renovation debris is fine in a roll-off. The restrictions worth knowing come from two directions: what the city will not take in its own containers, and what California requires of every load on the road.
Folsom's rules bar quite a list from any city-provided container unless there is a written contract with the city: dirt, rocks, sod, asphalt, brick, concrete, large metal objects, tile, landscaping bark, furniture, construction and demolition debris, appliances, tires, and tree stumps. Anything oversized that stops the lid closing is out too. That list is exactly why a remodel needs a roll-off rather than an extra city cart.
A second list is absolute, with no contract exception: liquids, hot ashes, coal, flammables, live ammunition, household hazardous waste, and hazardous waste. Medical and biohazardous waste has to go through a licensed collection and disposal company. Paint, solvents, fuel, propane, pool chemicals, and used oil all belong in that group.
California also requires every load to be covered or secured on the way to the scale, and Folsom's own construction waste rules say the same thing for any vehicle hauling material out of the city. The county landfill enforces it at the gate with a $25.00 charge on an uncovered load. If an item has you guessing, 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.
Folsom is unusual in that the city itself is the collection utility. The city holds the exclusive right to gather and dispose of solid waste within its limits, every home and business subscribes to city service for garbage and recycling, and the city will deliver one of its own temporary containers for household material. Construction and demolition debris is handled under a separate city permit, which is where a roll-off for a remodel fits.
Loads from Folsom go to the Kiefer Landfill at 12701 Kiefer Blvd., Sloughhouse, CA 95683, which Sacramento County runs and which sits a little over 20 miles south of the city. It takes material from the public, from businesses, and from private haulers. Gate hours are 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends, and the county asks drivers to arrive at least 15 minutes before closing.
Two things about that site affect timing. It closes at 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving and shortens or closes on Christmas and New Year's Day, and if the facility reaches its daily vehicle limit it has to close early under its own operating permit. Both are good reasons not to leave a haul until the last afternoon of a job.
Disposal is billed by weight and the county sets the rate. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and what the tipping fees come to before delivery.
12701 Kiefer Blvd., Sloughhouse, CA 95683
Sacramento County site, open 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at weekends.
Most Folsom deliveries can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container has to sit on a public street, build the encroachment permit into your timeline first.
Five things that keep a delivery on track:
Weekend timing is worth a thought. The county landfill is open seven days a week but closes at 4:30 p.m., so a container filled late on a Saturday is usually hauled the following week rather than that afternoon.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Folsom, from Historic Folsom and the Sutter Street district to the East Bidwell Street corridor, the neighborhoods near Folsom Lake and the Johnny Cash Trail, Broadstone and Briggs Ranch around Iron Point, and the newer blocks of the Folsom Plan Area south of Highway 50. We schedule delivery, swaps, and pickup around your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out how the city rules apply to your address, and give you a clear 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 in Folsom runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. County landfill rates and the weight of your material move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the cost per extra ton when you book.
Once a job passes two loads, renting wins. Self-hauling means a 40-mile round trip toward Sloughhouse, a minimum charge at the scale each visit, and your own hours. A container holds the whole job and the disposal is already inside the quote.
Yes, with room to spare. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of cartons. Furniture fills the volume well before it reaches the weight limit, so plan around space.
Keep out hazardous waste, wet paint, solvents, fuel, propane, pool chemicals, used oil, liquids, flammables, hot ashes, and live ammunition. Medical and biohazardous waste needs a licensed company. Tires, appliances, and tree stumps need separate handling, so mention them to your account manager before loading.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. In Folsom the bigger saving usually comes from sorting, because clean concrete, brick, tile, and asphalt are taken at the county landfill at no charge while mixed debris is billed by the ton. Your account manager can plan the split with you.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because we price the project rather than the calendar. Weight moves the bill much more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container is dropped.
Wood, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout debris are all fine in a Folsom roll-off. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too and cost least when kept separate. Check anything borderline with your account manager before it goes in.
