When to pick a different box

  • swap_horizConcrete, dirt, brick, or asphalt — the 2-ton allowance disappears after a few wheelbarrows of concrete; use the 10 Yard Heavy box (flat rate, no weight limit) instead
  • swap_horizWhole-home gut renovations or new construction — the volume runs out; that's 30 yard territory
  • swap_horizA single-room cleanout — you'd be paying for air; a 10 yard does the job for less

lightbulbTips before you book the 20 yard

  • arrow_forwardThis is the 'when in doubt' size: it covers the widest range of projects, which is exactly why it's the most-booked box on the platform.
  • arrow_forwardWatch the 2-ton allowance on demo debris — tile, plaster, and roofing are deceptively heavy even when the box looks half empty.
  • arrow_forwardThe 4.5 ft walls are still walk-up loadable; save your back by loading heavy items first, flat on the floor of the box.
  • arrow_forwardAt 22 ft long, measure your driveway — the box plus the truck's straight-line approach (~60 ft) is what decides the drop spot.

Dumpster rules & permits in Alamo

Alamo has no city hall — it's unincorporated Contra Costa County, which changes who you ask about street placement. The rundown:

gavelInside your own gate: no permit

On Alamo private property — driveway, motor court, or jobsite — no government paperwork is required, and most acre-plus lots here have room to keep the box off the road entirely. That's the easiest setup by far.

gavelAlamo streets are county roads: County Encroachment Permit

Since Alamo is unincorporated, there's no city permit counter. A dumpster in the public right-of-way needs an Encroachment Permit from the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, applied for through the County's online ePermits Center (Accela portal). Build the approval into your schedule before delivery day.

gavelOak canopy and narrow lanes

The roll-off truck wants about 60 feet of straight run and 23 feet of overhead room — worth scouting on Alamo's tree-covered lanes off Stone Valley Road and Livorna Road before you pick the drop spot.

gavelBig remodels meet the 65% diversion rule

County-permitted Alamo projects fall under California's CALGreen code: at least 65% of construction and demolition debris has to stay out of the landfill. Providers on our platform haul to certified facilities, so the paperwork takes care of itself.

gavelCountry-club communities and private lanes

Round Hill, White Gate, and Stonegate each enforce their own container rules, and many Alamo estates sit on private lanes where the road isn't county-maintained at all — so HOA notice and lane access can matter more than any permit. Sort both before the truck rolls.

Rules and fees are set by the City of Alamo and can change — always confirm current requirements with the city before placing a container in the public right-of-way.

FAQ — 20 yard dumpster rental in Alamo

How big is a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
A 20 yard roll-off measures about 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 4.5 ft tall and holds 20 cubic yards — roughly 6–8 full-size pickup truck loads. It occupies about two parking spaces end to end and still fits most residential driveways.
How much does a 20 yard dumpster cost?expand_more
A 20 yard dumpster starts at $749 when you book 7 or more days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. The price includes delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 2 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day and overweight loads are billed per ton after pickup.
Is a 20 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?expand_more
Yes — the 20 yard is the standard kitchen-remodel box. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliance packaging, and the drywall you open up all fit comfortably, and the 2-ton allowance covers a typical kitchen's debris weight.
How many roofing squares fit in a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
Weight is the limit before volume: with a 2-ton allowance, figure two layers of asphalt shingles off a roof around 2,500 sq ft (about 25 squares single-layer). For triple layers or larger roofs, go 30 yard.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
Don't — a 20 yard filled even a quarter of the way with concrete blows far past its 2-ton allowance, and the overage is billed per ton. Clean concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt go in the 10 Yard Heavy box: flat rate, no weight limit.
20 yard vs 30 yard — which one do I need?expand_more
Pick the 20 for one big room (kitchen, garage, roof) and the 30 for the whole house (gut renovation, estate cleanout, construction debris). If your project list keeps growing as you plan, that's usually a sign you want the 30.
How much does a 20 yard dumpster cost in Alamo, CA?expand_more
A 20 yard roll-off in Alamo starts at $749 when you book 7+ days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. That covers delivery to your Alamo driveway or jobsite, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 2 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day; overweight is billed per ton after pickup.
Do I need a permit for a 20 yard dumpster in Alamo?expand_more
Not if it sits entirely on your private Alamo driveway or property — that's how most rentals here work. If the box must go on a public street, Alamo requires an encroachment permit — see the local rules section on this page for the specifics. Apply before your delivery date.
