Container size, debris type, rental length, and the disposal fees in Riverside County all shape what you'll pay. Below, we cover price ranges, the City's franchise rule for project waste, permits for City streets, and what can and can't go in the container.

In Palm Desert, local rules matter as much as size and weight when it comes to price.
Size is the first choice. The right container avoids a costly second haul and keeps you from paying for empty space.
Weight is the second. Pool decking, pavers, tile roofing and stucco are heavy, and they use up your included tonnage fast. Bulky items and tires may be handled separately, so mention them early.
The City's hauling rule is the third. Palm Desert has an exclusive franchise for hauling waste from construction projects, and the City says other haulers can't haul project waste. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your job before anything is booked.
Disposal fees are the last piece. Riverside County runs the regional landfills, and its current rate for routine waste hauled directly to them is $52.68 per ton, effective July 1, 2026. Heavy loads cost more to dispose of, so keeping them light helps your budget.

Pick your size by the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster has containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a guest bath remodel, a casita cleanout, or a small patio tear-out. It's also the best choice for concrete, pavers and block, which reach the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof. You get more room than the 10 without jumping to a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster fits a whole-home cleanout or a remodel that reaches several rooms. It's a popular size for seasonal home refreshes in Palm Desert.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, additions, and new homes where lumber, drywall and packaging stack up.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial builds, full demolition, and large cleanouts at stores or offices.
Still unsure? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll help you pick the size that fits.
You usually don't need a permit for a dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a gated job site. Once any part of a container would sit on a City street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way, the answer changes.
Palm Desert handles encroachment permits through its online permit portal, called Clariti. The City's permits page lists encroachment permits alongside permits for new construction, renovation, special events and pool drains. You can apply, schedule inspections and track status in the same portal.
Construction projects have one more step. The City asks for a Construction Debris Management Plan to show you'll meet state recycling rules, and most projects must divert at least 65% of their debris from the landfill.
For questions, call the Development Services Center at 760-776-6430. It's located at 73510 Fred Waring Drive. Your account manager can help you find the right City contact and explain how the franchise rule fits your project.
Most household and construction debris is fine to load. The limits come from California's rules on wastes banned from the trash.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage. That covers latex and oil-based paint, solvents, antifreeze, batteries, motor oil and filters. Tires aren't hazardous, but they're banned from the trash too. Treated wood with chemical preservatives has to be handled as hazardous waste, and so do propane tanks and other compressed gas cylinders.
Beyond those, hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Older roofing, flooring and siding can contain asbestos, so have it checked before a tear-out.
Because Palm Desert projects must meet a recycling target, clean loads of concrete, metal or green waste may be handled apart from mixed trash. If you're unsure about an item, 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.
The Coachella Valley has two privately run transfer stations, one on Edom Hill Road in Cathedral City and one on Landfill Road in Coachella. Loads collected there move on to a landfill.
The nearest landfill run by Riverside County is Lamb Canyon Landfill at 16411 Lamb Canyon Road, Beaumont, CA 92223. The county's Department of Waste Resources operates it, and it's open Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The department's main line is 951-486-3200.
You can find the county's facility list on its landfill locations page. Since Palm Desert uses an exclusive franchise for project waste, the franchise decides where a given load goes. Your account manager can confirm the destination and walk you through any fees before delivery.
16411 Lamb Canyon Road, Beaumont, CA 92223
Riverside County landfill; open Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Most Palm Desert rentals can be arranged within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because of the City's franchise rule and recycling plan, give yourself a few extra days on construction jobs. Booking early can also save you money.
These tips help keep things on track:
Lamb Canyon Landfill is closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend will usually move early in the week.

In Palm Desert, our 10-yard container runs $399 to $499, and our 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and weight, plus Riverside County disposal fees, affect the final total. Your account manager also checks how the City's franchise rule applies before you book.
For jobs bigger than a truckload or two, a dumpster usually saves money. Self-hauling means a disposal charge on every trip, plus fuel, a trailer and hours in the heat. With a dumpster, you load at your own pace and everything leaves in one haul.
Yes. A standard couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container. That leaves space for patio furniture, a mattress frame, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll use up the room before you hit the weight allowance.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. California also bans batteries, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, tires, propane tanks, and chemically treated wood from the trash. Ask your account manager about anything like that before it goes in.
Our 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Weight still drives the final bill, though. Filling a small container with pavers or tile can push it over the limit and add overage charges. Splitting heavy debris into its own load can cost less.
Most three-day rentals cost the same as our standard five days. We price per job instead of per day, so a short rental rarely brings the price down. Weight matters more. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most cleanout and remodel debris is allowed in Palm Desert. You can load lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and household junk. Concrete and pavers are fine too, but they're heavy, so pick a smaller container. Check with your account manager about unusual items.
