Mon - Sat 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across San Angelo, Texas and Tom Green County. The older housing stock around the Concho River turns over steadily, oilfield service yards on the north and east sides generate heavy industrial debris, and construction and remodeling work across the city produces loads that are far too heavy to move a trailer at a time.
San Angelo is a regulated market for this work. The city makes it unlawful to empty a commercial container or carry its contents on a city street for payment without a written permit from the solid waste administrator or a special contract with the city. That shapes who can serve you, and it is worth understanding before you book.

| 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 |
Size sets the starting figure, and in San Angelo the weight of the debris usually decides the rest. Concrete, caliche, brick, mortar and roofing shingles reach a container's weight allowance long before they fill the walls, which is why a small container is often the right answer on a heavy job.
Distance matters more here than in most Texas markets. San Angelo sits a long way from the next city, so booking earlier gives you more choice of delivery day.
Disposal is the third factor, and San Angelo is unusually open about it. The City sets its landfill charges by the ton in its own published fee schedule, in three tiers by where the waste came from. For the year running to 30 September 2027 the in-city rate is $49.16 a ton, the Tom Green County rate is $52.62, and the wider area rate is $56.08, each with a small host fee and trust payment on top. So a load generated outside the city costs more to bury than the same load from inside it.
Local rules add a fourth element. The city permits collectors individually, charges them a percentage of their San Angelo revenue, takes a monthly customer count and can revoke a permit for a late filing. That compliance work is part of what you are buying when the container arrives on the agreed day.
Rental length matters least of the four. A container is priced per job, so a three-day and a five-day rental usually cost the same. The cost of a long rental shows up at the end, in extra days, so book the pickup when you book the drop.

Pick the container by what is going in it, not by the size of the room.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense material. A clean load of concrete, caliche, brick or asphalt reaches its weight limit well before it fills, so this is the right container for a driveway removal, a foundation repair or a masonry teardown. It also drops into a single driveway bay.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size booked most often for residential work in San Angelo. Whole-house cleanouts, flooring removal and multi-room renovations all fit, and the sides are low enough to load over by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new residential construction, large additions and real demolition work. Once framing, drywall and decking are involved, volume rises faster than weight and this size saves a second trip.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for commercial demolition, oilfield yard clearance and large-scale construction. It is the biggest container offered, and it needs a straight approach, a level drop point and clearance overhead.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a fenced yard, needs no permit from the City of San Angelo. The city's own right-of-way instruments are a cut and bore permit and a right-of-way fee, both aimed at excavation and utility work, and the city publishes no dumpster-specific street permit at all.
Because there is no published rule to point at, a container that genuinely has to occupy part of a city street should be cleared with San Angelo Public Works before delivery. The answer will depend on the street. We will not promise a street placement in San Angelo on the strength of a rule that does not exist.
The permit that definitely applies here is the one we hold, not the one you hold. The city makes it unlawful to commercially empty a solid waste or recyclable container, or carry its contents on a city street for payment, without a written permit from the solid waste administrator or a special contract with the city. Permits run for a year, are not transferable, lapse automatically if the required insurance lapses, and can be revoked by the council after ten days' notice and a hearing.
One feature of the San Angelo permit is worth knowing because it is unusual. The solid waste administrator does not simply check the paperwork. The administrator investigates whether public convenience and necessity require the permit at all, and whether the applicant is a fit and proper person to do the work. That is a judgment, not a formality, and it is why the field of permitted collectors here is narrower than in cities that must issue to anyone who applies. Your account manager will confirm permit coverage for your job before we schedule a delivery.
There is also a self-haul route in the code. A nonresidential customer may move its own waste using its own employees and vehicles, if those vehicles meet the same standards as a permitted collector's. Food-handling businesses are expressly excluded.
Most construction, demolition and household debris is fine. The exclusions here are the ones that apply at any Texas receiving facility rather than a list the City of San Angelo publishes itself.
Hazardous waste is out everywhere: liquids, fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pressurized cylinders and anything containing PCBs. Lead-acid batteries, appliances holding refrigerant and electronics are handled separately rather than landfilled, and tires normally carry a charge for each one.
Asbestos-bearing material has no place in a standard container. Older San Angelo properties can turn up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile or textured ceiling coating, and the right move is to stop and call rather than load it, because the container and the destination both change.
Oilfield and industrial streams need a separate conversation. Some are accepted with characterization and some are not accepted at a municipal site at all. Tell your account manager what the material is and where it came from.
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.
San Angelo is a city where we would rather tell you less and have it be true. The city publishes that one of its public works roles is monitoring landfill operations, which is an oversight description rather than an operating one, and the city's own staff directory lists a national hauling company and one of its managers inside the city's solid waste function. The city also publishes no street address for the landfill on any page we can read.
Our standing rule is that we name a receiving facility on a page only where the operator is a public body and the authority publishes the site's own address. Neither condition is met in San Angelo, so we name no facility here and promote no competitor's site.
What we can tell you is the rule that governs the destination, because that is in the city code. A permitted collector may dispose of solid waste or recyclables only at landfills or dumps designated by the city, and dumping is allowed only at attended and controlled locations. So the destination for a San Angelo container is not a matter of preference, it is set by the city, and your account manager will confirm it for your load when you book.
One more thing you should know, because the City publishes it and we would rather you heard it from us. San Angelo runs its own roll-off container service, with rates set out in its code for 15, 20, 30 and 40 cubic yard containers and for compactors. If a City container suits your job, that is a real option and we will say so.
Where we are genuinely the better answer is the small end. The City's own rate table starts at 15 cubic yards and has no 10-yard container on it at all. On a heavy load of concrete, caliche, brick or tile, the 10-yard is the correct size, because that material reaches a weight limit long before it fills anything larger. That gap is our edge here, and it is a fact about what is available rather than a claim about price.
For anything beyond a routine load, the city's Solid Waste office on 325-486-3798 is the right first call, and we are happy to make it with you.
Most San Angelo deliveries can be scheduled within one to two business days. Because the city sits a long way from the next market, giving a little more notice than you would in a metro area makes a real difference to the delivery window you get.
Here is how to make the booking go quickly:
Keep the load level with the rim. A container heaped above the sides cannot be covered properly, and a covered bed is what the city requires of every truck hauling waste on its streets.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves San Angelo itself and the Tom Green County communities around it, including Grape Creek, Carlsbad, Christoval, Wall and the Lake Nasworthy area. Because the city permit applies inside the San Angelo limits, a job out in the county is a slightly different conversation, and one worth having before the container is ordered.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm the designated destination for your load, 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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899, against the standard five-day period. Debris weight and the disposal charge at the city-designated site move the final figure most, and San Angelo's distance from other markets affects haul costs too. Your account manager confirms included tonnage when you book.
For anything past one pickup load, renting wins. Self-hauling means repeated trips, a minimum charge each time, fuel and your own hours, and the city only allows dumping at attended and controlled locations. A nonresidential self-haul also has to meet the same vehicle standards as a permitted collector.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a bed frame, boxes and smaller furniture. Bulky household goods run out of volume long before they near a weight limit, so a 10-yard is normally right for a furniture cleanout rather than a bigger size.
Liquids, fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pressurized cylinders and anything with PCBs are out, and asbestos-bearing material cannot go in a standard container. Tires, refrigerant-bearing appliances and electronics are handled separately and usually carry per-item charges. Oilfield and industrial streams need clearing first.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499. The cheapest result is often two containers rather than one, with dense material in a small container and lighter debris in a larger one, because that avoids an overage charge on a load that went over its weight allowance.
Three days and five days land on the same figure, because a San Angelo container is priced against the job rather than per day. Weight is the variable that moves your bill. Settle the tonnage allowance and the overage rate with your account manager before the container lands.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, cardboard, brick, block, caliche and clean concrete are all acceptable. Keeping clean concrete or clean wood as its own load usually costs less to dispose of. Your account manager can check any borderline material against the designated site's list before you load.
