At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Highland, California, and the east San Bernardino Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Highland runs from the older grid around Base Line and Palm Avenue up into the newer Greenspot and East Highlands developments, so we see both heavy stucco-and-tile remodels in the established neighborhoods and new construction debris on the hillside lots.
What you pay turns on the container size, how heavy the load is, how long it stays, and the County's per-ton charge at the gate. San Bernardino County also has one rule that can double a disposal bill on its own, and Highland has a rule about how long a container may sit in the street. Both are below, with our ranges, the material limits and our delivery timing.

Four things decide a Highland number, and the fourth one surprises people.
Container choice is first. On a hillside lot the approach often decides the size as much as the volume does, so tell us about the driveway grade when you call.
Weight is second, because the County bills disposal by the ton. Tile roofing, stucco, slab concrete and decomposed granite are all heavy for the room they take, and an older Highland house gives up more of that material than a newer one.
Add-on charges are third. The County publishes a hard-to-handle fee of $53.14 per ton and a special handling fee at the same rate, each with a minimum of $26.57 on a load under 2,000 pounds. Those are added on top of ordinary disposal, so what goes in the container changes the ticket, not just how much.
And fourth, the cover. The County's fee page states plainly that uncovered or unsecured loads are subject to an additional charge that doubles the disposal fee. Every load is tarped, so this is the hauler's problem rather than yours, but it explains why a container will not be taken away loaded above the rail.

Choose on volume, then check the weight, because Highland material runs heavy. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yards here, and the City sets no cubic-yard limit on a container.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense debris. Slab concrete, block wall, tile and soil hit the weight ceiling with the container part full, so the small unit is the right answer.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom gut, a patio demolition or a crowded garage, and it turns onto a steeper drive more easily than a full-length container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most common Highland placement, sized for a multi-room remodel or a whole-house cleanout.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a whole-floor renovation, a new build on one of the newer lots, or a commercial project producing bulky mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, meant for demolition and sustained construction where volume rather than weight is the constraint.
Describe the material and the access to your account manager and they will pick the size, and tell you if two smaller containers will cost you less.
On private property, your driveway or a job site you control, there is no separate City container permit in Highland. That is the placement we aim for, and on most jobs it is straightforward.
The street is a different matter, and the limit is time rather than paperwork. Highland prohibits storing materials in containers, trailers or any other storage unit on a public street, roadway or right-of-way where they are visible to the public for more than 48 hours, except as the City specifically permits. The City does issue an encroachment permit through its engineering side, but the terms are not set out in the code, so a multi-day placement in the right-of-way has to be cleared with the City before it is booked rather than after.
There is a second piece of paperwork that reaches a construction job even on private ground. Highland requires an approved construction waste diversion plan before a building or construction permit is issued, and compliance with that plan is a condition of any City inspection of the site. The plan has to provide for on-site storage and regular collection of construction waste and recyclable material, show reasonable efforts to separate recyclable construction material, and keep wind-blown debris in suitable containers daily. It also sets a clock: construction waste may not be stored on site in the open for more than four weeks. There is no diversion percentage attached and no notarized affidavit, which makes it lighter than the equivalent rules in some cities, but the plan does have to name who is collecting the debris.
Call the City of Highland at 909-864-6861 for placement and permit questions; the Public Services Division is on extension 271. Your account manager will confirm whether your drop spot is clear of the right-of-way and will give the City the collection details your diversion plan needs.
Normal construction debris loads without trouble: lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material.
The County's own refusal list is the operative one, and some entries catch people out. No liquid waste in any form. No sealed containers of any type. No hot ashes or burning material. Nothing containing mercury or lead, which takes in household and watch batteries, fluorescent tubes, thermostats and thermometers. No paint. No medical waste or sharps. Refrigerators only once the freon is out, and tires limited to nine per load, off the rim, with a fee.
Two limits are worth repeating because they are easy to miss. The County will not take waste from outside San Bernardino County at all. And it will not take items over ten feet long at a landfill, or over four feet long at a transfer station, so long trusses, pipe and fencing have to be cut down before they go in.
Asbestos never goes in a container. Friable asbestos material has to be handled as hazardous waste under state rules, and older Highland houses can hide it in floor tile, roofing products and gaskets.
One more point for a long job: state rules say refuse may not be allowed to accumulate on a property for more than seven days, except in limited circumstances such as severe weather or a holiday. That is the City's own guidance, and it is a reason to book the swap rather than let a full container sit.
If an item has you unsure, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
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.
Highland loads go to one of two San Bernardino County landfills, and both are owned and run by the County rather than by a company.
Mid-Valley Landfill at 2390 Alder Avenue in Rialto is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon and Saturday from 8:00 to 5:00. It is also one of only two County sites that accept treated wood waste, which matters if your job is producing painted or pressure-treated lumber.
San Timoteo Landfill at 31 Refuse Road in Redlands is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, and it is the nearer site for jobs on the south and east side of Highland.
The County's Solid Waste Management Division is on 909-386-8701 and takes cash, Visa and Mastercard at its sites, rounding cash payments to the nearest dollar. Its published rates already include the state fee, the perchlorate surcharge and the waste diversion program.
One County permit does not help a Highland customer: the Disposal Use Permit, which allows free household disposal at County sites, is open only to residential property owners in the unincorporated mountain and desert communities. Highland is an incorporated city, so it is outside that program.
Highland also requires a collector to deposit material only at sites approved by the City's public works subcommittee, and to report the type, quantity, volume and weight of what it removes to the City Manager. Your account manager confirms which site your load is going to before delivery.
2390 Alder Avenue, Rialto, CA
County run. Open Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and one of two County sites taking treated wood.
31 Refuse Road, Redlands, CA
County run. Open Monday to Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Most Highland rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives time to settle the drop spot and, on a permitted build, to get the collection details into your diversion plan.
Five things that keep a Highland delivery clean:
Plan around the gates too. Both County landfills close at 5:00 in the afternoon and San Timoteo does not open before 8:00, so a container filled late on a Saturday is usually hauled the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Highland and the east San Bernardino Valley communities beside it, from the older blocks along Base Line and Palm Avenue out through East Highlands and the Greenspot area toward the hillside lots above the city. Whether the job is a tile roof tear-off or a new build on a graded pad, we arrange the container, the tarped haul and the County ticket around your build schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the access and the material, keep the load covered for the County gate, and give you a clear 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.
Highland rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day basis. The County bills disposal by weight and adds hard-to-handle and special handling fees on certain material. Your account manager fixes the included tonnage and the overage rate ahead of the drop.
Renting wins on nearly every Highland job. A County landfill run means a drive to Rialto or Redlands, a charge at the gate each visit, and an uncovered load doubling what you pay. A container holds what several truck loads would and is hauled once, tarped.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. With furniture you run out of space well before you reach the weight limit, so volume is the thing to plan around.
Liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, sealed containers, hot ashes, medical waste, asbestos and anything containing mercury or lead all stay out. The County also refuses waste from outside San Bernardino County, and will not take items over ten feet long at a landfill. Tires are capped at nine per load.
Highland's lowest opening price sits on the 10-yard unit, $399 to $499. On Highland material it is often the cheapest finish as well, because tile, stucco and concrete are billed by weight and a bigger container of the same debris would simply run into overage plus a per-ton handling fee.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the days. State rules also discourage letting refuse sit longer than a week on a property, so a short, well-timed rental is usually the right plan anyway. Ask about your included weight.
Lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpet and general cleanout junk are all accepted. Clean concrete, block and asphalt are fine too and often cost less kept in their own load. Painted or treated lumber needs the right site, so tell your account manager.
