At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Little River, California, and the surrounding Mendocino coast in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Coastal property renovation, deck and roof replacement driven by the weather here, and construction on the parcels along Highway 1 are what keep containers coming to this stretch of the coast.
Your price follows the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long the rental runs, and the haul, which on the Mendocino coast is a bigger share of the total than it is inland. Below are our sizes, who handles permits and disposal out here, and what cannot go in a container.

On the Mendocino coast the usual factors apply, but one of them dominates.
Container size is the starting point, and the jump between sizes is small next to the cost of bringing a second container this far.
Weight matters as always. Redwood decking, roofing, and stone from a coastal property are dense, and a weight allowance goes into them faster than the volume suggests.
Then there is the drive, and in Little River it is the single biggest influence on price. This is a rural unincorporated community and the receiving sites are a real distance away, so the haul is a larger part of your quote than it would be in a town. That cuts the other way too: it makes a container far better value here than repeated trips in a truck.
Because of the distance, sizing correctly matters more in Little River than almost anywhere we work. Your account manager will go through the job with you properly in detail, because a second delivery out here is an expensive correction.

Size is about matching the job in one delivery, since a second run to the coast is costly. All five containers are available in Little River.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for heavy coastal material. Stone, concrete, and wet timbers reach their weight ceiling early, so the smallest container keeps those loads out of overage.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a deck torn off, a bathroom stripped, or a single roof layer from a coastal cottage. On the narrow access roads around here it is often the largest container that will turn comfortably.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick for a full property cleanout or a renovation covering several rooms, where there is driveway room to take it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a substantial rebuild or a demolition producing bulky mixed debris, and it is worth the single larger delivery rather than two smaller ones at this distance.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container placed on the Mendocino coast, for commercial work and larger construction projects where volume is the constraint.
Talk the job through with your account manager, including the access road and the heaviest material, and they will get it right in one delivery.
Little River is an unincorporated community, so there is no city hall and no city permit to obtain. A container on private property, your own driveway or a job site, needs nothing from anyone.
Where a container would occupy part of a county road or the shoulder, the county is the authority. The Mendocino County Department of Transportation issues transportation and encroachment permits for county-maintained roads, and the same department runs the county's solid waste operations through its Solid Waste and Water Agency. That is a useful simplification for a customer out here: one department covers both the road question and the disposal question.
Note that Highway 1 itself is a state route rather than a county road, so a placement affecting the highway shoulder is a state matter instead. Your account manager will work out which authority applies to your spot before the delivery is booked, because on this coast the answer depends on which road you are on.
The county department is at 340 Lake Mendocino Drive in Ukiah and can be reached on 707-463-4363, open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Your account manager can make that call for you and confirm what the county needs.
On the hauling side there is no city license to hold, because there is no city. Your account manager confirms the county position for your address before anything is scheduled.
Standard construction and household debris loads normally. California's rules decide the rest, and on a coastal property a couple of them come up more often than usual.
California treats electronic waste, fluorescent tubes and lamps, batteries, and anything containing mercury as household hazardous waste, with their own routes. Treated wood is on that list too, which matters here: pressure-treated decking and marine-treated posts are common on coastal properties and they cannot go in an ordinary container. That is worth planning for before a deck comes off.
A Little River container takes no hazardous waste, no liquids, no paint, no solvents and no fuel, and asbestos is handled separately and never travels in one.
Tires and appliances are usually priced by the piece. Given the distance from Little River to any receiving site, a load turned away at the gate is an expensive mistake, so your account manager will check anything doubtful with the destination before the container goes out.
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.
Little River sits in unincorporated Mendocino County, and the county's own Solid Waste and Water Agency manages waste operations across the county. The county describes that agency as managing countywide solid waste operations including curbside collection and transfer stations, and as overseeing the permitting, closure, and post-closure maintenance of the county's inactive and closed landfills.
We are not naming a receiving facility out here, and the reason is straightforward: the county's own transfer station pages would not open for us when we looked, and we do not put an address in front of you that we have not confirmed on an official page. An unconfirmed address is worse than none.
What we can give you is the authority itself. The county's department is on 707-463-4363 and publishes its solid waste responsibilities on its transportation and solid waste page. Your account manager confirms the destination for your material, the gate charge, and the opening times before your container is delivered, which on this coast is the part worth getting right in advance.
A Little River rental usually needs a little more lead time than an inland job. We aim to schedule within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window, but the coast road and the distance mean a couple of days of notice gives you a far better window.
Five things that matter more here than they would in town:
Plan around the weather as well as the schedule. Wet material weighs considerably more than dry, and on the Mendocino coast a container left open through a storm can gain enough weight to change your disposal charge, so covering the load between working days is worth the effort.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Little River and the nearby Mendocino coast communities along Highway 1, from the Albion and Van Damme area north toward Mendocino village and the properties set back along the ridge roads. Delivery and pickup are planned around our coast runs and your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container for a single delivery, work out which authority covers your placement, 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 Little River rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day basis. The haul from the coast is a larger part of the total here than it would be inland. Your account manager sets the included weight and the overage rate before dispatch.
On the Mendocino coast renting wins sooner than almost anywhere. The nearest receiving sites are a long drive, so even two self-hauled loads can cost a full day each in fuel and time. One container takes the whole job and makes that journey once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser, and cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so the volume runs out long before the weight allowance becomes the limit.
A Little River container takes no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos. California also treats electronic waste, fluorescent lamps, batteries, mercury items, and treated wood as household hazardous waste, and treated decking is common on coastal properties, so plan for it separately.
The 10-yard container starts lowest in Little River at $399 to $499. With dense coastal material it is not always the cheapest finish, because stone or wet timbers will reach a small container's weight allowance quickly. Your account manager will work out which size costs least overall.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, since the container is priced by the job rather than the night. Out here the haul matters more than the days. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage and the rate for each extra ton before you book.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, furniture, cardboard, and ordinary cleanout debris are all fine in a Little River container, with treated wood kept out. Clean concrete and stone are accepted and often cost less separately. Check a doubtful coastal item with your account manager first.
