Dumpster Rental in Contra Costa County, CA

Three standard sizes cover almost every project, plus a dedicated heavy-material box. Prices are tiered by lead time: book 7+ days ahead for the lowest rate, 2–6 days ahead costs a little more, and same-day delivery carries a premium. Every standard rental includes 7 days on site; extra days are $50/day with provider approval.

If you're not sure which size fits, a quick rule: the 10-yard suits small, dense jobs; the 20-yard is the most versatile and our recommended roofing size; the 30-yard has the same footprint as the 20 — it's just taller — for whole-home cleanouts and big remodels. When in doubt, going one size up is cheaper than paying overweight fees, which run $155/ton over your allowance, billed straight from the dump-station ticket.

Hauling concrete, dirt, brick, or asphalt? That's the Heavy 10-yard: a flat rate from $599 with no weight limit, on a 3-day rental instead of 7. Clean soil and clean concrete book at the base rate; mixed soil-concrete-brick, brick-only, and asphalt loads carry a $150 premium. All heavy loads must be at least 95% pure.

Here's the rule that holds everywhere in the county: if the dumpster sits entirely on your driveway or private property, you don't need a permit — in any of our seven cities. Most residential jobs end there.

If the dumpster has to sit on a public street, you'll need an encroachment permit, and every city runs its own program. Concord's Street Use & Encroachment Permit wants applications at least 48 hours ahead. Lafayette has some of the strictest rules in the county — permit plus a refundable street-damage deposit, with a 5-day maximum on the street. Danville usually issues permits same-day over the counter. Antioch, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Martinez handle standard encroachment permits through Public Works. In every case, the customer applies for and pays for the permit — check your city's page above for specifics.

Two more things worth knowing before delivery day: the truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight approach and about 23 feet of overhead clearance, and California's CALGreen code requires permitted construction projects to divert 65% of their debris from landfill — our disposal partners handle the sorting.

Most dumpster companies in Contra Costa County still want you on the phone. We built the opposite: pick a size, pick a date, and the exact price shows up before you commit — including the discount for booking 7+ days out.

For contractors juggling three jobsites, that means ordering a dumpster takes less time than your coffee break.

The standard 10-, 20-, and 30-yard boxes take general debris, household junk, construction and demolition waste, roofing tear-off, and yard waste — most projects fit without a second thought. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt go only in the Heavy 10-yard box, never in a standard dumpster.

A few items are prohibited outright: hazardous waste, paint, solvents, asbestos, and propane tanks. Others are accepted with a per-item disposal fee — mattresses ($40), tires ($30), appliances with refrigerant ($50), and electronics ($25). These fees are charged by your provider when the items are in the load — the full list is on our disposal guidelines page, so you know the number before you toss anything in.

Enter your ZIP, pick a size, and lock in your delivery date — dumpsters from $599 with the lowest prices going to whoever books 7+ days ahead. Serving Antioch, Concord, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill, Danville, and Martinez, with everything from quote to pickup handled online.
