At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Glendale, California, and the neighboring foothill communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes in Adams Hill and Rossmoyne, steady kitchen and bathroom remodels, apartment turnovers along Central Avenue, and commercial construction around the Brand Boulevard corridor all keep containers moving here.
What you pay turns on the size you choose, the weight and type of your debris, how long you keep the container, and the gate charges at the landfill that takes your load. Below you will find our price ranges, the City's street permit rule, the local hauling rules that affect commercial jobs, and what the landfill will accept.

Glendale quotes move with four things, and the container itself is only the first.
Size sets the base. Going one size up costs a little more, but it beats paying for a second haul when the first container fills early.
Debris weight does the rest of the work. Stucco, tile, roof shingles, and broken concrete are dense, so a small container packed with them can reach its weight limit while it still looks half full. Tell your account manager what is coming out and the quote will reflect it.
Disposal charges are set by the landfill, not by us. Glendale's own landfill adds a surcharge of 25 percent on top of its posted schedule for every load that does not arrive in a City truck, so the gate cost here runs higher than the sticker rate suggests.
City rules matter on two fronts. A container in the street needs an encroachment permit first. And if your project needs a building permit, Glendale will not issue it until the building official approves a plan showing how you will divert at least 65 percent of the debris away from the landfill, which affects how you sort your loads.

Start with how much debris the job will make, then adjust for how heavy it is. We stock five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest option and the one to pick for dense material. A bathroom gut, a small patio tear-out, or a load of broken concrete fits here, since weight runs out long before the space does.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size jobs such as a garage cleanout, pulling up old flooring, or a small roof tear-off. It is a good middle step on a tight Glendale driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice for local homes. It holds a full cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms, and it still fits on most residential lots.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger remodels, additions, new builds, and apartment turnovers. Reach for it when a job will produce mixed debris over several weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It is built for commercial construction, large demolition work, and industrial cleanouts that generate high volume.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they will steer you to the right one.
A container that stays on private property, like your driveway or inside a fenced job site, does not need a City permit of its own. That covers most rentals in town.
The moment any part of the container sits in the public right-of-way, Glendale requires an encroachment permit. The City writes the rule broadly, covering any object placed in, over, or under the right-of-way, so a temporary container is included.
You apply in writing to the Public Works Department on its own form. The City asks for the property owner's name and address, a description of the property that benefits, a single-sheet plot plan showing the proposed spot, and a short written reason for the request. A nonrefundable fee applies, set by a schedule kept at the Public Works counter rather than published online.
Public Works Engineering sits at 633 E. Broadway, Suite 205, and the counter is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You can reach the office at 818-548-3945, and the City's contact directory lists the other divisions. If you are not sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact before delivery.
One more point for commercial customers. Glendale splits the city into four collection zones, and ongoing trash and recycling service at a business or an apartment building of five or more units belongs to that zone's contracted hauler. The City's own hauling rules treat temporary construction and demolition work differently, and they allow other permitted companies to handle it. Houses and buildings of four units or fewer are served directly by the City. Your account manager will confirm how the rule lands at your address before you book.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits come from California's rules on hazardous and electronic waste, from the City's own list, and from what the landfill will take.
California keeps hazardous and electronic waste out of ordinary containers and landfills. That means no used motor oil or oil filters, no paint, solvents, or strong cleaners, no household or vehicle batteries, and no pesticides or weed killers. Televisions, monitors, computers, and phones belong in electronics recycling instead.
Glendale's code adds the broader category it calls excluded waste. That takes in hazardous substances, infectious and medical waste, corrosive and volatile material, regulated radioactive waste, and anything the receiving facility reasonably believes it cannot lawfully accept.
Liquids, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster too. Tires and large appliances need to be handled on their own, so mention them when you book.
Los Angeles County holds free collection days for household hazardous and electronic waste. The county's Clean LA line is 888-253-2652. If an item has you guessing, check with 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 loads from a Glendale job are tipped close to home. Scholl Canyon Landfill sits inside the city just north of the Ventura Freeway, on land the City owns, and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County run it.
The operator lists the site at 7721 North Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90041, with public access from Scholl Canyon Road. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and closed Sunday and on major holidays. The phone number is 818-243-9779.
Two local quirks are worth knowing. First, the landfill only takes waste generated inside a defined area that includes Glendale, La Canada Flintridge, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and nearby unincorporated communities. Second, the site has a weekly ceiling on how much it may bury, so it can stop taking loads before the posted closing time in a busy week.
Clean dirt and clean asphalt are accepted, though loads from bottom-dump trucks are turned away, and green waste has its own rules. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain the charges before your container arrives.
7721 North Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90041
Open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most Glendale rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little lead time helps, since a right-of-way permit or a debris diversion plan takes a few days to clear.
These habits make delivery day easy:
Keep the landfill calendar in view as well. Scholl Canyon is closed on Sundays and shuts early on Saturdays, so a container filled late in the weekend may not be emptied until Monday.

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 Glendale runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the landfill's charges move the final number, and the local 25 percent disposal surcharge matters on heavy loads. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For anything past a load or two, renting wins. Each trip to the landfill means paying at the scale, plus fuel, plus your own time crawling through Glendale traffic. One container handles a whole remodel in a single haul, and you load it on your own schedule instead of chasing closing times.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of cartons. Furniture is bulky but light, so you will almost always run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, oil filters, batteries, pesticides, and asbestos. Electronics such as televisions, monitors, and computers are barred by state rule and belong in recycling. Tires and large appliances need separate handling, so flag them with your account manager when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Weight is what drives your final bill, though. A 10-yard loaded with stucco, tile, or concrete can pass its limit and add overage charges, so dense material is usually cheaper in a load of its own.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, because we price by the job rather than by the day. What you load matters far more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what each extra ton costs before the container is delivered.
Most household and construction debris is allowed. That covers lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted and often cost less in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before you load it.
