At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals throughout Lompoc, California, and the wider Lompoc Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes in Old Town are being updated, Vandenberg Village and Mission Hills see steady remodeling, and construction and site work tied to the aerospace jobs up the road keep contractors looking for containers they can fill and forget.
Four things set the number on your invoice: the container size, what you throw in it, how long it stays, and what the city landfill charges by weight at the gate. Keep reading for our ranges, the city permit that applies on public streets, the materials California keeps out of the trash, and how soon we can deliver.

Lompoc is one of the few cities on the Central Coast that owns and runs its own landfill, and that single fact shapes most of what follows.
Weight is the biggest variable here, because the city charges mixed debris by the ton. The published rate is $115.00 per ton with a minimum of $28.00 on anything up to 500 pounds, so a light load still carries a floor and a heavy one scales straight up. Your account manager prices the container with that math already in it.
Sorting pays off at this facility. Clean, separated loads of concrete and scrap metal are charged at a lower per-ton rate than mixed trash, and clean cardboard, asphalt, soil, carpet, and mattresses come in free. Mixing any of it with general debris puts the whole load back on the higher rate.
Container size is the next lever. Bigger costs more to deliver and haul, but under-ordering is worse, because a second container and a second trip beat the price of simply going one size up.
Small rules add up too. The city adds $15.00 to any load that arrives uncovered, which is why we tarp before leaving your address, and treated wood is billed as hard-to-handle material rather than ordinary debris. Flag treated lumber when you book so nobody is surprised.

Match the container to volume first, then sanity-check it against weight. We carry five sizes, and most Lompoc jobs land on one of the middle three.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the compact option, right for a single bathroom, a small shed, or a garden clearing project. It is also what we send for broken concrete, stucco, and soil, because dense material reaches the weight ceiling long before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a step up for a cluttered garage, a kitchen tear-out, or a modest roof. You gain real capacity without jumping to a container that may not fit a narrow Old Town driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster handles the classic whole-house cleanout and the multi-room remodel. It is the size that most often shows up on residential streets around town.
The 30-Yard Dumpster belongs on build sites. New homes, large additions, and demolition work all produce bulky mixed debris faster than a smaller container can take it.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we deliver, suited to commercial tenant work, warehouse clearing, and industrial jobs where volume rather than weight is the limit.
Caught between two sizes? Tell your account manager the room count and the material, and they will pick for you.
If the container stays on private property, in a driveway or behind a fence on a job site, no city permit comes into play. The rule changes the moment any part of it touches a public street, alley, or sidewalk.
For that, Lompoc requires an encroachment permit from the City Engineer. The city's Engineering Division handles them, states plainly that a permit is needed for all work within the public right-of-way, and takes questions at 805-875-8269.
The city's own application information is clear that the permit covers placing an obstruction on the surface of a street or alley, which is precisely what a container does. Engineering sets the fee once it has a complete application rather than posting a flat price, asks for a drawing of the site, and requires a certificate of insurance before issuing. Allow three working days after everything is submitted.
One more thing worth knowing: Lompoc also expects anyone hauling waste in the city other than its own crews to hold a city permit for that service, and that permit is not exclusive to any single company. Your account manager will confirm how both requirements apply to your address before a truck is scheduled.
Drywall, framing, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fencing, and ordinary household junk all load without trouble. The refusals come from California first and the city landfill second.
CalRecycle keeps a list of materials banned from the trash statewide. It covers paint of either kind, solvents, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil and filters, every size of household battery, fluorescent tubes, propane cylinders, asbestos, and tires, which the state keeps out of landfills to prevent mosquito breeding and tire fires. Electronics are on the list as well, and the state says plainly not to throw them away.
Treated wood is the one that catches remodelers out. California treats preservative-treated lumber as hazardous waste, and Lompoc charges it at a hard-to-handle rate rather than taking it as regular debris.
Hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, and solvents stay out of every standard roll-off container, in Lompoc as everywhere else.
The landfill has its own limits too. It stopped taking electronics for recycling, sending those to the city's hazardous waste facility by appointment instead, and it only accepts waste generated inside the Lompoc Valley. If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes over the side.
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.
Debris from Lompoc jobs is weighed in at the City of Lompoc Sanitary Landfill, the city-owned site at 700 South Avalon Road, Lompoc, CA 93436, just off Olive Avenue. The city's solid waste page lists hours of Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., plus Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., and the number there is 805-736-9042. Weekend hours are limited to residential loads and small single-axle trailers, so a contractor container moves on a weekday.
California's own facility record lists the site as active and permitted, with the city's Public Works Department named as the operator. That matters in a practical way: the rates you are quoted come from a city fee schedule, not from a private gate price that can move without notice.
Because the landfill takes Lompoc Valley waste only, a job just outside the valley may need a different destination and a different rate. Your account manager will confirm where your container is going and what the weight allowance covers before delivery day.
700 South Avalon Road, Lompoc, CA 93436
City-run landfill open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; weekend hours are residential loads only.
Most Lompoc orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier costs you nothing and buys room to clear the drop spot and, if the street is involved, to get the permit in hand.
Here is how to make delivery day easy:
Plan around the facility's clock as well. The landfill shuts at 4 p.m. on weekdays and takes only residential loads at weekends, so a container filled late Friday will usually be hauled the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers across Lompoc and the Lompoc Valley, including Old Town, Vandenberg Village, Mission Hills, and the Mesa Oaks area, along the Highway 1 and Highway 246 routes.

Prime Dumpster also covers other Central Coast cities, and for anywhere else in the state our California state page is the place to start.

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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, on a standard five-day rental. Because the city landfill bills by the ton, the material you load moves your total more than anything else. Your account manager confirms the included weight and the overage rate at booking.
Self-hauling adds up quickly. Every load pays a minimum charge at the city scales no matter how light it is, and you supply the truck, the fuel, and the weekend. Past two or three loads, one container almost always lands cheaper, and the debris leaves your driveway in a single pickup.
It will, with room left over. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, chairs, and boxed clutter. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so volume runs out well before the weight allowance does.
No hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, paint, batteries, fluorescent tubes, propane cylinders, asbestos, or tires. California bans all of those from the trash. Electronics are out as well and go to the city's hazardous waste facility by appointment, and treated wood needs to be declared because the landfill charges it separately.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499, but cheap to rent is not always cheap to dump. Load it with stucco, tile, or wet soil and the weight allowance disappears fast. Keeping heavy material in a separate load is usually the better saving here.
A three-day rental generally costs what five days costs, since roll-offs are priced per job rather than per day. The scale ticket, not the calendar, drives your final bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs before the container arrives.
Most of a build or a cleanout is fair game: lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and household junk. Clean concrete, asphalt, and soil are welcome and cost less when kept as their own load. If one item has you unsure, one question clears it up.
