At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Texas City, Texas, and the nearby Galveston County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repairs along Galveston Bay, home remodels, plant and industrial work, and ongoing construction keep roll-off containers in steady use around Texas City.
Four things shape what you pay: the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fee at the landfill that takes your load. Below, we cover what moves the price, the City's street placement rule, what can't go in your container, and where Texas City debris is headed.

A handful of factors decide where your Texas City quote falls in the range.
Container size is the first. The right fit saves you from paying for unused space or for a second container when the first one runs out of room.
Debris weight is the second, and often the biggest. Landfills charge by the ton, so roofing, tile, mortar, and wet drywall push the cost up much faster than furniture or cardboard.
Disposal fees sit under every quote. The landfills in Galveston County don't post their prices, but the state tracks them. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality reports that Texas landfills charged an average of $45.15 per ton in 2024. That's a statewide average, not a local price, and it's a disposal fee, not a rental price.
Placement matters, too. If the container can sit on your driveway or lot, you avoid the extra step of getting City approval for a street spot.

Pick your size by volume, but keep an eye on weight. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom gutted to the studs, a cleared-out spare room, or a pile of yard debris. It's also the one to use for concrete, brick, or tile, since heavy material reaches the weight limit long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works well for a garage cleanout, flooring removal, or a roof on a smaller home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Texas City for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for large renovations, new home construction, storm repairs, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's the pick for commercial construction, industrial cleanouts, and big demolition jobs.
If you're between sizes, your account manager can talk through the job and point you to the best fit.
A container on private property, like your driveway or a job site lot, generally doesn't need City approval in Texas City. The street is where the rules kick in.
Texas City's code of ordinances makes it unlawful to place materials or objects on a street, alley, or sidewalk without written permission from the Building Official. You also need the Building Official's written permission before those items can be removed again. The rule doesn't list a fee or a time limit.
The Building Official works out of the City's Building Department at 7800 Emmett F. Lowry Expressway. Call the department at 409-643-5946 to ask what it needs for a container at your address. The City now handles building permits and inspections through its MGO online system.
Texas City also has an exclusive franchise hauler for commercial trash and dumpster service. The City's code doesn't spell out how that applies to a construction or cleanout container. Your account manager will confirm how the rule applies to your project before booking and can help you reach the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel, a roof job, or a cleanout is fine to load. Texas rules and the landfill's permit decide what isn't.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality allows scrap tires in a landfill only after they've been split, quartered, or shredded. Keep whole tires out of your container.
Landfill type matters too. Some Galveston County landfills can take all kinds of municipal waste, while others take only brush and construction and demolition debris. Those sites can't accept household trash or food waste, so tell us if your cleanout includes regular garbage.
As with any dumpster, hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos have to stay out. Pressurized cylinders, fire extinguishers, and drums of any kind should be kept out as well.
Not sure about something? Ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
State records list three active landfills in Galveston County. Two are allowed to take all types of municipal solid waste. The third takes only brush and construction and demolition debris. Which one gets your load depends on what's in it and on the hauling route.
For small loads from your own home, the City runs the Biosphere 1 Recycle Center at 3301 25th Avenue N, Texas City, TX 77590. It's open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. It's closed on City holidays, and the phone number is 409-643-5810.
The Biosphere 1 rules are strict. It takes debris only from Texas City residents with a matching utility bill, and only two pickup loads per week per home. It won't accept roofing, dirt, soil, cylinders, or hazardous waste. Contractor debris is refused unless the resident comes along. For a real remodel, a dumpster is usually easier.
Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and go over any fees before delivery.
3301 25th Avenue N, Texas City, TX 77590
City drop-off for Texas City residents, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
Most Texas City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container showing up in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a little early gives you time to get the Building Official's approval if the container needs a street spot.
A few tips help delivery go smoothly:
Watch the weather, too. Heavy rain and storms along the bay can slow deliveries and pickups, so build in a little extra time during hurricane season.

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 in Texas City costs 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. What you load and the landfill's per-ton fee also affect the final price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
Residents can take limited debris to the City's Biosphere 1 center, but it caps loads at two pickups a week and refuses roofing and contractor debris. For a remodel, roof, or big cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less than many trips, and it saves you time and fuel.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll have room left for a recliner, a bed frame, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so the container usually fills up before it gets close to the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, cylinders, fire extinguishers, and drums. Texas landfills take tires only when they're split, quartered, or shredded, so keep whole tires out. Tell us about household trash, since some landfills take only construction debris.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Landfills bill by weight, though, so a small container packed with mortar or tile can cost more than you planned. Keeping heavy debris in a separate load is an easy way to control the cost.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the weight of your load matters more to the bill than the rental length. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, brush, and general clutter. Storm-damaged materials from a repair job are usually fine as well. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about before it goes in.
