At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Fresno, California, and the surrounding Fresno County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New subdivisions pushing north past Herndon, kitchen and bath work in Fig Garden and the Tower District, and year-round commercial construction along Highway 99 keep roll-off containers in steady demand for homeowners and contractors.
Four things decide what you pay: the container size, the weight and type of debris, the length of the rental, and the gate charges at the county landfill. Below you'll find our price ranges, the permit rules for Fresno streets, and the long California list of things that cannot go in a container.

Your Fresno quote starts with the container and finishes at the county scale.
Picking the size is the first decision, and the cheapest result is usually one container that fits the job rather than a small one that needs emptying twice.
Debris type sets the weight, and weight sets the rest. Stucco, roof tile, mortar, and broken slab are all dense enough to use up the tonnage in your rate while the container still looks like it has room. Tell us what you're tearing out and we'll quote the right tonnage with it.
Where the load lands is the third piece. Most debris from Fresno jobs is weighed at the county's American Avenue Disposal Site out past Kerman, and the county, not the hauler, sets what happens at that gate. Separate items carry their own charges, including used tires, which the county prices from $2.39 each for passenger tires.
California rules add one more layer on building jobs. New construction, demolition, and many additions have to divert at least 65% of non-hazardous debris from landfill, with weight tickets filed before occupancy, so planning a clean load pays off twice.

Size by volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes between 10 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is built for heavy, compact material. A torn-out patio slab, a stack of adobe block, or one gutted bathroom will hit the weight limit long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the mid-size jobs. Clearing a two-car garage, lifting carpet and pad from a few rooms, or a small single-layer roof all fit comfortably.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Fresno households choose. It takes a full cleanout or a kitchen and bath remodel at once while still leaving a car in the driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new builds, and gut jobs. Studs, drywall, stucco wire, and old cabinets go in together, which keeps the site moving.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is the container for commercial tenant work, warehouse clearing, and demolition that throws off a lot of volume.
Torn between two sizes? Describe the scope to your account manager and they'll pick the one that fits.
A container that stays on private property, in a driveway or behind a job-site fence, generally needs no city permit in Fresno. Once any part of it occupies a street, sidewalk, or parking lane, you are in the public right-of-way, and the city asks for paperwork first.
Fresno calls it an encroachment permit, also known as a street work permit, and it comes from the City of Fresno Department of Public Works. The city's own instruction is blunt: get the application before any work begins.
Fresno has a second requirement that catches contractors more often than the permit does. Only haulers approved under the city's roll-off franchise may take trash or construction debris off a job site, which means the choice of container provider is a compliance question and not just a price question.
To ask about a specific block, call Public Works at 559-621-8800. Your account manager will confirm both the placement rules and how the city's franchise rule applies to your address before anything is scheduled.
Ordinary wood, drywall, roofing, and household debris is fine. California then draws a wide line around anything hazardous, and that line is wider than most states.
The state says plainly that putting hazardous waste in the garbage is illegal. The banned list covers fluorescent tubes, every kind of battery, pesticides and herbicides, acids and oxidizers, solvents, antifreeze, motor oil and filters, non-empty aerosol cans, compressed gas cylinders including barbecue propane tanks, and photo waste.
Three entries on that list come up on almost every remodel. Both latex and oil-based paint are banned from the trash. Asbestos, common in older cement board, flooring, and siding around Fresno, has to be handled separately. So does treated wood with chemical preservatives, which the state treats as hazardous waste and the county takes only under its own treated wood guidelines.
Electronics are out as well, including televisions, monitors, laptops, computer towers, printers, radios, microwaves, and phones. Tires are banned from the trash too, though the county landfill accepts them separately for a per-tire charge.
Found something that fits none of those descriptions? Ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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 containers pulled from a Fresno job are weighed at the American Avenue Disposal Site, the County of Fresno's own regional landfill at 18950 W American Ave., Kerman, CA 93630. The county says it accepts all types of solid waste and recycling, and the gate runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., closing on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Two site rules matter for planning. High-visibility safety vests are required on the grounds, and treated wood waste goes in only under the county's own guidelines and application rather than mixed into a general load. Used tires are taken at the same site for a separate per-tire charge.
Because the county owns and prices the facility, the disposal side of your invoice traces back to a published public rate rather than to a middleman. Your account manager can confirm the destination for your container and the tonnage included in your rate before delivery.
18950 W American Ave., Kerman, CA 93630
County of Fresno regional landfill, open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Safety vests required on site.
Most Fresno rentals can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking further ahead leaves room to settle the permit question, and it often lands you a better rate.
Five things that make delivery day simple:
Gate hours shape the back end. The county landfill shuts at 3 p.m. on weekdays and at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, and it closes Sundays, so a container topped off late in the weekend usually moves at the start of the week.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, check what your address allows, and give you a firm price 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.
Fresno rentals begin at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. What you load and the county gate charges move the total from there. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the overage rate when you book.
Renting almost always wins in Fresno. The county landfill is out past Kerman, so a self-haul means a long round trip, a weighed and charged load at the gate, and a safety vest. One container and one pickup beats four or five of those runs on fuel alone.
Yes, with room left over. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a bed frame, a bookcase, and several boxes. Household furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you run out of room first.
California bans hazardous material from the trash, so leave out paint of any kind, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent tubes, propane tanks, asbestos, and treated wood. Electronics and tires are out as well. Mention any of these when you call and we'll route them properly.
The 10-yard container has our lowest starting price, $399 to $499. The cheapest booking is not always the cheapest job, though. Load it with mortar, tile, or slab and you can pass the weight allowance fast, adding overage. Dense rubble in its own container usually saves money overall.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the rate pays for the drop, the haul, and the disposal rather than the days. The finished weight is what really moves your invoice. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Most of a Fresno remodel is allowed: lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too and often cost less when kept in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
