Here's how a Soledad dumpster quote comes together.
The container size sets the base. A larger dumpster costs more, but one that's too small can force a second haul that costs more than sizing up.
Weight comes next. Loads from Soledad are weighed at the Johnson Canyon Landfill in Gonzales. The Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority's disposal fee sheet charges $70.00 per ton for trash and mixed construction loads of 1,000 pounds or more. It also adds half again to the fee for any load that shows up untarped, so we cover every container we haul.
Sorting can pay off here. Clean concrete with no rebar, and green waste kept separate, are charged far less than mixed debris at the same landfill. If your project creates a lot of either one, ask about a separate load.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
*These are general estimates and can vary depending on the type of trash being disposed of and how tightly it’s packed.

Start with how much you need to throw away and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small shed cleanout, or a patio's worth of broken concrete. Dense material hits the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof tear-off. It's a good step up without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a go-to size in Soledad for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers big renovations, additions, and new homes with plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's designed for commercial construction, demolition, and large property or ranch cleanouts.
Describe your project to your account manager, and they'll recommend the size that fits.
When your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or a job site, you usually won't need a City permit in Soledad. Once it takes up part of a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, the City's encroachment rules apply.
The City's permitting portal handles building and planning permits online, but it sends all encroachment permits and right-of-way questions to the Soledad Public Works Department. Call Public Works at 831-223-5176 to find out whether your spot needs an encroachment permit, what it costs, and how long approval takes.
City Hall is at 248 Main Street and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you're not sure where your property line falls, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel, roof job, or cleanout can go in your container. California's trash bans and the landfill's own rules decide the rest.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to throw hazardous waste in the garbage. The state's list includes every kind of battery, fluorescent and LED bulbs, paint, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, and tires. Treated wood, propane tanks, and electronics like TVs, monitors, and laptops also stay out of the trash.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos aren't allowed in a standard dumpster either. Households in the Authority's service area can drop off hazardous waste at no charge at the Madison Lane facility in Salinas, within set limits.
The landfill won't take ammonia-based appliances at all, and it charges per unit for refrigerators and other appliances with refrigerant. List tires, mattresses, and appliances when you book. Your account manager can tell you how to handle anything you're unsure about.
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.
Soledad belongs to the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority, which runs the disposal sites for this part of the valley.
Most loads from Soledad go to the Johnson Canyon Landfill & Recycling Center, at 31400 Johnson Canyon Rd., Gonzales, CA 93926, about 9 miles northwest. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 831-675-2165.
Soledad also holds a trash, recycling, and yard waste franchise that it shares with Gonzales and Greenfield, and the Authority helps run it. Before you book, your account manager will confirm whether that franchise affects a roll-off at your address. They'll also confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
31400 Johnson Canyon Rd., Gonzales, CA 93926
Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Soledad can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time to check with Public Works and get the site ready.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill works in your favor on timing. Johnson Canyon is open seven days a week, so a container filled over the weekend can still be emptied without a long wait.

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 dumpster rental in Soledad runs 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 per-ton fee at Johnson Canyon also shape your price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For a single small load, driving it yourself can be cheaper. For a bigger project, a dumpster usually wins. Each trip to Johnson Canyon means a minimum charge, a tarp on every load, gas, and time on the road to Gonzales. One container lets you load at home and finish in one haul.
Yes, a three-seat couch fits with room to spare. It takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so you can add a mattress, a recliner, and boxes of clutter. Furniture tends to fill space long before it reaches the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, paint, and asbestos. California also bans batteries, fluorescent and LED bulbs, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, treated wood, propane tanks, and electronics from the trash. Soledad households can take hazardous waste to the Madison Lane facility in Salinas at no charge, within its limits.
The 10-yard dumpster is our most affordable size, at $399 to $499. It suits small jobs and heavy material. Johnson Canyon charges by weight, though, so a small container packed with tile or plaster can still go over its allowance. Ask about a separate load for clean concrete.
In most cases, three days costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price per job, not per day, and the weight of the load moves your total much more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most home and building debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and yard waste. Clean concrete and green waste can go in too, and they cost less to dispose of when kept in their own loads. Your account manager can confirm any item before it goes in.
