At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hollister, California, and the San Benito County valley around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New subdivisions on the north and west edges of town, remodels in the older blocks near San Benito Street, agricultural and winery construction out toward Tres Pinos, and seismic retrofit work all keep containers in steady use.
Your price reflects the container size, the weight of what goes in, the length of the rental, and the per ton charge at the landfill on John Smith Road. Below you will find sizing help, how Hollister licenses roll-off collection, one city rule that can save a customer money, and what has to stay out.

Size drives the base price, and Hollister's code is unusually precise about what a roll-off is: a container holding between eight and fifty cubic yards that is emptied off site by rolling it onto the truck. Every delivery here sits inside that description, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Weight drives the rest. Stucco, tile, adobe block, and old concrete are all dense, and a valley job that includes a slab or a driveway tear-out will reach the weight limit well before the container looks full. A separate container for the heavy material usually costs less than one overloaded container.
Disposal is the third piece. The landfill sits just east of town on John Smith Road and charges by weight, so a short haul keeps Hollister rates reasonable compared with coastal towns. Your account manager prices that into the quote.
One more factor is local and specific. Hollister requires every occupied building to be on a city collection contract and to pay the charge, but it also publishes a way to be relieved of that obligation, which we cover below.

Start with the volume, then test it against the weight of the material. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across San Benito County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest option and the right one for dense debris. Concrete, stucco, tile, and soil belong here, and it suits a bathroom or utility room gut.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a single roof tear-off, or flooring pulled from two or three rooms. It gives extra volume without needing much more space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice for Hollister homes. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a mixed remodel load all fit in one haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for an addition, a studs-out remodel, or a contractor on a new lot. Framing, sheathing, and drywall take volume quickly, so the depth pays for itself.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is intended for commercial, agricultural, and demolition work producing high volume, low density debris.
Describe the job to your account manager and they will recommend the size that fits both the volume and the access.
On private property in Hollister you need no city permit. A container in your driveway, on a ranch yard, or inside a fenced site is fine in Hollister, and that is where the large majority of containers sit.
In a city street or sidewalk you need the City's encroachment permit before delivery. Hollister's code bars obstructions in the public way and handles permitted occupation through a separate encroachment process, so the City has to agree the spot in advance. There is no dumpster-specific street permit here, which means the general encroachment route is the one to use.
The licensing picture is the part worth reading twice, because Hollister is better for a customer than most California cities. The City Council may grant non-exclusive franchise agreements or permits specifically for roll-off collection inside the city limits, known by that name, with the franchise fee set by Council resolution and capped so that it cannot exceed what the exclusive franchise pays. In other words Hollister keeps a dedicated, non-exclusive lane open for the kind of service we provide instead of folding roll-offs into one exclusive contract. Your account manager confirms how that lane stands at the time you book.
Call the City of Hollister at 831-636-4300 for the encroachment question. City Hall is at 375 Fifth Street. Your account manager will tell you whether your drop spot needs a permit at all and will point you at the right counter if it does.
Ordinary Hollister construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from California's hazardous waste rules, from air district rules, and from what the landfill will take.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a standard container. California treats several common household items as hazardous and routes them separately, including electronics, batteries, and fluorescent tubes.
Burning waste instead of hauling it is not an option here. Hollister's code states that burning solid waste is prohibited by state law and that any exemption is handled by the regional air district, so a burn pile is not a lawful alternative to a container on a valley property.
Hollister also sets a nuisance trigger worth knowing. If disposal is left longer than a week and a residential accumulation passes two cubic yards, the City can treat it as a nuisance, which is a reason to get the container ordered before the pile grows rather than after.
Tires and large appliances need separate handling. Mention them to your account manager at the quoting stage and we will route them properly.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Container loads from Hollister go to the John Smith Road Landfill at 2650 John Smith Road, Hollister, CA 95023, a short run east of town. The state lists it as active and permitted, and it is run under contract by a private operating company rather than directly by the county, so its gate rules and charges are set at the site.
Two things follow for a customer here. First, the drive is short, which keeps the disposal portion of a Hollister quote lower than in towns that have to send loads over the hills. Second, because the site charges by weight and sorts by material, a clean load of concrete or green material is normally handled on better terms than the same volume mixed into general debris. That is the main lever you have on the disposal half of your bill.
There is also a Hollister rule that can take a charge off a customer's account entirely. The City requires every occupied building to contract for waste removal and pay the charge, but an owner or occupant may appeal to the City Manager to be relieved of that obligation. One of the two grounds is written documentation proving that the applicant is disposing of waste or recyclables at a legally permitted facility. Our disposal paperwork is exactly that kind of evidence, so if you are running a long project with a container on site, ask your account manager for the documentation and take it to the City.
Your account manager confirms the destination and the charge that applies to your material before delivery.
Most Hollister rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out leaves room for an encroachment permit if the container cannot sit on private ground.
Five things that help a delivery go smoothly:
The landfill keeps its own hours and is closer to Hollister than to any of the surrounding towns, which usually means a same-week haul once you call. Your account manager will confirm the pickup window.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Hollister and the surrounding San Benito County valley, from Ridgemark and Tres Pinos out along Highway 25, across to San Juan Bautista, and north toward the Santa Clara County line. Whether the job is a downtown remodel or a ranch cleanup off Fairview Road, we schedule the drop, any swap, and the pickup around your dates. Our Salinas and Marina legs run a good deal longer by road than by map, because the Gabilan Range sits between us and the coast and the route has to go around it.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm the destination and the charge, 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.
A 10-yard container in Hollister runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the landfill's charge per ton move the final figure. Your Hollister account manager sets out the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most Hollister jobs the container wins. Hollister's code treats a self-haul of 1,000 pounds or more as commercial transportation, so a few pickup runs is not the simple option it looks like. One container covers the work in a single haul and one disposal charge.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container in Hollister, leaving room for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so the space runs out well before the weight allowance does.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a Hollister container. California also routes electronics, batteries, and fluorescent tubes separately. Tires and large appliances need their own handling and should be declared when you book rather than hidden in the load.
The 10-yard container opens at $399 to $499, the lowest of the five Hollister sizes. It only stays cheapest when the material suits it, since stucco, tile, and concrete can pass the weight limit in a small container and add overage. Keeping dense material in its own load is what protects the saving.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because pricing follows the job and the disposal rather than the calendar. Tonnage is what really moves a Hollister bill. Have your Hollister account manager confirm the included tonnage and the cost of each additional ton before delivery.
Wood, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout debris are all fine in Hollister. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well and are often handled on better terms in their own container. Anything unusual from a San Benito County job is worth a call to your account manager.
