At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Orange, California, and the surrounding Orange County cities, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Old Towne Orange has one of the largest historic districts in the state, so much of our work here is careful renovation of 1900s and 1920s houses, alongside commercial tenant improvement near the medical centers and new construction on the eastern edge toward the canyons.
Four things decide your price: the container size, the weight of the material, the rental length, and the county landfill's charges. The sections below cover the price ranges, who to ask about placing a container in the street, what California keeps out of the trash, and the three county landfills your load may be routed to.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Container size is the first input and the one you control most directly.
Weight does the rest, and in Old Towne Orange it does more than people expect. Lath and plaster, clay roof tile, cast iron drain pipe and brick chimney material are all dense, and a historic remodel generates a great deal of all four. A 20-yard container of plaster can outweigh a 30-yard container of cabinets.
Access is a genuine constraint in the older streets. Narrow driveways, mature street trees and alley-only rear access behind Chapman Avenue often mean the container that fits is smaller than the container you want. Describing the approach when you call saves a failed delivery.
The county side matters too, in a way that is specific to Orange County. Only two of the three county landfills take public disposal at all, and every load has to prove it came from Orange County. Your account manager routes the container accordingly, which is covered below.

Judge the weight, then the access, then the volume. Prime Dumpster carries all five sizes in Orange.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense material and tight sites: broken concrete, brick, clay tile, plaster and soil. It also fits a Old Towne driveway where a longer container will not.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage cleanout, a single bathroom, or a tile roof section coming off a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice in Orange, handling a kitchen and bath together, a whole-house cleanout, or flooring across a main floor.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full renovation, an addition, or a new build, where debris is bulky rather than heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for commercial tenant improvement and demolition work, where a project produces a high volume of light material over several weeks.
Tell your account manager the age of the house and the width of the drive, and they will pick the largest container that will actually get in.
On private property, including a driveway or a commercial lot, you generally do not need a permit in Orange, and that is where almost every container goes.
For a public street or sidewalk you need the City's permission, and the City of Orange is the office to ask. We are not going to quote a City fee or a City form number here, because what the City publishes should come from the City rather than from us. Your account manager will put you in touch with the right City department before you fix a delivery date.
There is a second layer in Orange that often catches people out, and it is readable and specific. Several State routes run through the city, and anything placed in a State highway right of way needs a Caltrans encroachment permit. The definition is wide enough to catch a container directly: it covers any structure or object of any kind or character in, under or over any portion of the State highway right of way, and Caltrans states that a permit must be obtained for all proposed activities related to placing an encroachment there.
Caltrans District 12 handles every encroachment matter in Orange County. The application is a standard form supported by plans, a location map, surety bonds and liability insurance, and the District 12 permit office is at 1750 East 4th Street, Suite 100, Santa Ana, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday on 657-328-6246. Caltrans does not publish a flat fee: it varies with the type of encroachment and the staff hours needed to review and inspect it, and a deposit is normally taken with the application.
The City also runs residential collection through a franchise arrangement, so your account manager will confirm how that affects a temporary container at your address before anything is booked.
Ordinary renovation debris is accepted: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, fixtures, furniture and household cleanout material.
California treats a long list of household products as hazardous waste and makes it illegal to put them in the trash, down a storm drain or on the ground. The state's banned-from-the-trash list covers latex and oil-based paint, aerosol paint and solvent cans that are not empty, paint thinners and similar solvents, antifreeze, batteries, and motor oil and filters. Tires are banned as well, to prevent mosquito breeding and tire fires.
Two entries on that list bite hard on an Orange remodel. Asbestos is common in pre-1980 cement products, roofing, flooring and siding, and a 1920s house in Old Towne should be surveyed before demolition starts. Treated wood has its own route, and in Orange County the destination decides the answer: it is accepted at one county landfill and refused at another, which is set out in the next section.
Nothing hazardous belongs in a standard container, and nor do liquids, paint, solvents or fuel.
If one material is the open question on your job, raise it with your account manager before loading. They will check it against the specific landfill your container is routed to, since acceptance here is site by site rather than county-wide.
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.
Orange County runs three active landfills, all owned by the County and operated by its own waste department rather than by a contractor. Which one takes your container matters more here than in most markets.
Olinda Alpha Landfill at 1942 N. Valencia Ave, Brea is the closest to Orange and takes both commercial and public loads. It is open Monday to Saturday, with transfer trucks only from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and commercial and general public from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It also takes soil that meets regulatory compliance criteria, and clean broken asphalt free of charge since July 2, 2026. It stopped accepting treated wood waste on January 1, 2021.
Frank R. Bowerman Landfill at 11002 Bee Canyon Access Rd., Irvine is commercial only: the County states that no public disposal is permitted there, and commercial customers have to show a current Orange County business license, a California contractor's license or similar identification. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for commercial haulers and 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. for transfer trucks. That restriction is worth knowing, because it means a homeowner with a trailer has no access to Bowerman while a container on the hauler's truck does.
Prima Deshecha Landfill at 32250 Avenida La Pata, San Juan Capistrano takes commercial and public loads Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., accepts clean broken asphalt free since August 1, 2026, and has accepted chemically treated wood waste since April 16, 2021.
Two county-wide rules apply wherever your load goes. The County's published fees for the year beginning July 1, 2026 charge $15.00 for a car or SUV load under 360 pounds and $30.00 for a pickup or van load under 880 pounds, with a further $15.00 for hard-to-handle items longer than six feet, and only Olinda Alpha and Prima Deshecha are open for public disposal at all. And the County requires proof that the waste came from Orange County, by driver's license or a utility bill showing the address where the material was generated.
Your account manager confirms which landfill your container goes to, and whether your material is accepted there, before delivery.
1942 N. Valencia Ave, Brea, CA 92823
Monday to Saturday, transfer trucks 6 to 7 a.m. and commercial and general public 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Treated wood waste is not accepted here.
11002 Bee Canyon Access Rd., Irvine, CA 92602
Commercial haulers only, Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. No public disposal is permitted at this site.
32250 Avenida La Pata, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for commercial and general public. Chemically treated wood waste is accepted here.
Most Orange 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 is worth it in the historic streets, where placement often needs working out.
Five things that make delivery go smoothly:
One timing point specific to the county: every landfill is closed on Sundays and on the County's listed holidays. A container filled late on a Saturday may not be tipped until Monday, which your account manager will factor into the swap schedule.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges rentals across all of Orange, from the Old Towne historic district and the streets around Chapman University to the business parks off Katella and The City Drive and the newer development out toward Orange Park Acres and the canyons, and delivery covers the surrounding Orange County cities including Anaheim, which sits immediately to the northwest.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to your driveway, confirm which county landfill takes your material, and quote the tonnage 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.
Orange pricing begins at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and runs to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, each across five days. Weight is the main variable, and plaster, tile and concrete from a historic remodel move it fastest. Your account manager confirms the county landfill tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Self-hauling in Orange County means a per-load charge at the gate, Orange County origin paperwork each trip, and no access at all to the Irvine landfill. One container handles the whole job, is tipped on a commercial account, and does not cost you a Saturday.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, which leaves a mattress, a dresser and boxes to load after it. Note that an item longer than six feet attracts an extra county charge, so a long couch is worth mentioning.
Nothing hazardous goes in, and nor do liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos. California also bans batteries, motor oil and filters, antifreeze and tires from the trash. Treated wood is accepted at one Orange County landfill and refused at another, so declare it.
The 10-yard, at $399 to $499, and on an older Orange house it is often the right one as well. Plaster, brick and tile will use up a small container's weight allowance before the space runs out, so keeping dense material separate is usually cheaper overall.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built on the haul and the included tonnage rather than the days. Ask what tonnage your Orange quote includes and what each ton above it costs.
In California you can load lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, furniture, carpet, cardboard and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, and clean broken asphalt is now taken free at two of the county landfills.
