At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Seal Beach, California, and nearby communities in northern Orange County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Beach cottages in Old Town get remodeled, homes in College Park and the Hill get new roofs and kitchens, and ongoing construction keeps local contractors moving, so a roll-off container is a common sight here.
Your cost depends on the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below you'll see price ranges, what the City charges for a container in the street, and what Orange County's landfills won't accept.

Several local factors shape what you'll pay for a dumpster in Seal Beach.
Size is the first. A bigger container costs more, but it's usually cheaper than ordering a second one because the first filled up too soon.
Weight is the next. Stucco, tile, and broken concrete add up fast, while furniture and cardboard stay light. Keeping heavy debris to a smaller container helps you stay under your weight allowance.
The landfill sets its own fees. Orange County's landfill fee schedule charges $92.70 per ton for loads over 880 pounds, or $107.70 per ton when the load includes hard-to-handle items such as furniture, mattresses, or long pieces of wood. Those are county disposal fees, not rental prices.
Street placement adds a City fee. The City's Cost Recovery Schedule lists a $211 dumpster permit for a container in the street, with no separate application fee. Placing one without a permit can double that charge.

Match the container to the volume and the weight of your debris. Prime Dumpster offers sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a good match for a bathroom update, a closet or bedroom cleanout, or a small patio removal. It's also the size to use for concrete, brick, and tile, because heavy material maxes out the weight before the space.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, a flooring swap, or a small roof. It's a step up in room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite for emptying a whole house or remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits big renovations, second-story additions, and new home construction with plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we rent. It's built for commercial jobs, full demolitions, and large property cleanouts.
Lots in Old Town can be tight, and many homes sit on alleys. Your account manager can help you pick a size that fits both the job and the space.
If your dumpster stays on private property, like your driveway or your own lot, you typically won't need a City permit. You will need one when the container sits in a street, alley, or other public space.
The City of Seal Beach handles this through its Public Works Permit. The application form lists dumpsters as a permit type and asks for the start and end dates, the work location, and contractor details. The fee for a dumpster permit is $211 under the City's current fee schedule.
The City doesn't publish a standard review time, so apply well ahead of your delivery date.
Public Works is at City Hall, 211 Eighth Street. Call 562-431-2527, extension 1319, or email the permit desk listed on the form. City Hall is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closes from noon to 1 p.m. Your account manager can help you reach the right City contact if you aren't sure the spot counts as public space.
Most household junk and construction debris is allowed. California's hazardous waste rules and Orange County's landfill rules set the limits.
California makes it illegal to throw hazardous waste in the trash. That covers batteries, fluorescent bulbs, paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, electronics, and items with mercury. Asbestos and other hazardous building materials are covered too.
Orange County's Olinda Alpha Landfill also turns away tires, chemically treated wood, fuel tanks, brake linings, contaminated soil, and liquid waste. Keep those out of your container.
For household amounts of hazardous waste, Orange County runs four free collection centers in Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, and San Juan Capistrano. They're open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Orange County runs three landfills, and two are open to the public. The one closest to Seal Beach is Olinda Alpha Landfill at 1942 N. Valencia Ave, Brea, CA 92823. OC Waste & Recycling operates it. The landfill is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., for commercial and public loads. Its phone number is 714-993-0372.
Olinda Alpha takes solid waste from homes and businesses, but not hazardous waste. It now accepts clean, broken asphalt at no charge, which can matter if your project includes a driveway tear-out.
The City contracts with one company for trash and recycling, and the City's rate sheet for that contract includes large bin rentals. Your account manager will check with the City on how that affects your address, confirm where your load is going, and explain any fees before delivery.
1942 N. Valencia Ave, Brea, CA 92823
Open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., for commercial and public loads.
We can usually schedule a Seal Beach rental within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your container needs to go on the street, book earlier so the City permit is in place.
A few tips help your delivery go well:
Olinda Alpha is closed on Sundays, so a dumpster you finish loading on a Saturday may not be emptied until the following week.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Seal Beach range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the county's disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
A light load in a car can be cheaper to take yourself. Most projects need several trips, though, and Olinda Alpha is a long drive from Seal Beach each way. Heavy loads are charged by the ton. For a remodel or a big cleanout, one dumpster usually costs less once you count fuel and time.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll have room left for a mattress, some chairs, and boxes. Furniture is light for its size, so you'll usually fill the space before you reach the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste out, including paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and electronics. Asbestos, liquids, fuel, and tires can't go in either. Orange County's free collection centers take household hazardous waste. Your account manager can tell you where anything else should go.
The 10-yard dumpster is the least expensive, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight, since county landfills charge by the ton. A small container full of tile or plaster can cost more than you expect, so keep heavy debris in its own load.
A three-day rental is usually priced the same as our standard five-day rental. We charge by the job instead of by the day, and weight affects your bill far more than time does. Ask your account manager how much weight is included before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general household junk can all go in. Concrete and asphalt are allowed too, and clean asphalt kept in its own load may cost less to dispose of. If you're unsure about an item, your account manager can confirm it.
