Several local details affect what a dumpster costs in Imperial.
The container you choose is the first. Bigger sizes cost more, but a container that's too small can leave you paying for a second trip.
The weight of your debris is the second. Concrete, stucco, roof tile, and adobe block are dense, so a load of them reaches the weight limit fast. Tires and appliances are often priced by the piece, so bring them up when you call.
Disposal is the third. Imperial is home to the valley's active permitted landfill, so the drive from your job site to the dump is a short one. That helps keep hauling time down.
City rules are the last piece. Larger building projects must recycle part of their debris, and Imperial's recycling ordinance asks for a deposit of $50 per estimated ton of debris, with a $500 minimum, before a covered permit is issued. You get it back when you show the recycling was done. We cover the details below.

The right size depends on the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a small bathroom, a single-room cleanout, or a load of palm fronds and yard waste. Choose it for concrete, brick, or stucco too, because heavy rubble maxes out the weight before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, a kitchen tear-out with cabinets and flooring, or a small roof job. It adds room without much added cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Imperial for clearing out a full house or remodeling several rooms at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on room additions, new home construction, and demolition work with a mix of lumber, drywall, and roofing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest option. It's built for commercial projects, large teardowns, and big property cleanouts.
Walk your account manager through the project, and they'll recommend a size that fits the job and the weight.
When the dumpster stays on private property, like your driveway or a fenced job site, you generally don't need a City permit in Imperial. Once it sits on a City street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, you do.
The City's Engineering Services Division issues and inspects all public right-of-way permits. The form you need is the City's encroachment permit application. For a residential job, it lists $508, made up of a $208 processing fee you won't get back and a $300 deposit that covers staff time. Commercial permits list $1,208, with a $1,000 deposit.
Three City teams sign off before the permit is issued: Engineering, Planning, and the Fire Department. After approval, the form says you must call the City inspector at 760-355-1151 at least 48 hours before work begins. For questions about the application, call the Community Development Department at 760-355-3335. The Engineering Division page links the form, and the office is at City Hall, 420 South Imperial Avenue.
Imperial also runs trash service through a City franchise. Its code says only the City's contracted collector may pick up or haul refuse in the city, and that includes debris from building work. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your job before you book, and can help you find the right City contact for your permit.
Most debris from a remodel, a build, or a cleanout is fine to load. California's rules on household hazardous waste set most of the limits.
CalRecycle lists several everyday items that can't go in the trash anywhere in the state. These include all batteries, fluorescent tubes and other lamps, household and garden chemicals, oil-based paint, motor oil, antifreeze, and tires. Propane tanks and other gas cylinders are on the list too, along with wood treated with chemical preservatives.
Electronics need special care. The state treats broken TVs, monitors, laptops, and tablets as hazardous waste, so they go to an e-waste recycler, not a dumpster.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos can turn up in older roofing, flooring, and siding, so have it checked before a tear-out.
If you have a question about any item, your account manager can give you an answer before it goes in the container.
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.
Imperial has something most valley towns don't: an active landfill inside city limits. CalRecycle lists the site at 104 E Robinson Road as active and permitted. A private company runs it, and it doesn't post public hours or rates on the state listing.
Imperial County once ran a transfer station of its own on West Worthington Road, but the county's schedule marks that site permanently closed. The county's remaining drop-off sites are spread across the valley, and most open only one or two days a week. The county's solid waste line is 442-265-1818, answered weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a lunch break from noon to 1 p.m.
For a builder, the short trip to a landfill in town keeps hauling simple. If your project falls under the City's recycling rule, some of your debris may need to go to a recycler instead so you can get your deposit back. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
We can usually book an Imperial rental within one to two business days, with delivery landing in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days out leaves room for the City's permit sign-offs and for getting your site ready.
A few tips for an easy delivery:
Summer heat matters too. Many crews start at first light, so if you want the container placed before your team arrives, mention it when you book.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Imperial and the surrounding Imperial Valley, including El Centro, Brawley, Calexico, Holtville, Heber, Seeley, and Westmorland. Wherever your project is, we work out delivery, pickup, and disposal around your timeline.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size your container, walk you through the City's rules, and give you a clear price before we schedule delivery.
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 Imperial 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. What you load and the local disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate before delivery.
Once a job needs more than a couple of truckloads, renting usually costs less. Most county drop-off sites open only a day or two each week, so hauling it yourself can drag on. A dumpster sits in your driveway until you're done, and we take it all away in one trip.
Yes, with plenty of space to spare. A three-seat couch fills only about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You can add a mattress, a table, and a stack of boxes. Because furniture is light for its size, you'll run out of room before you hit the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. California also keeps batteries, lamps, motor oil, antifreeze, gas cylinders, treated wood, and broken electronics out of the trash. Tires and appliances should be kept separate and mentioned when you book your Imperial dumpster.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight. A small container full of concrete or stucco can go past its weight allowance and pick up overage fees, so it's often cheaper to keep heavy material in its own load.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five days. Pricing is set by the job, not by the day, and weight changes your bill far more than the rental length does. Before delivery, ask your account manager how much weight is included and what an extra ton costs.
Most construction and cleanout debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, carpet, and yard waste. Clean concrete and dirt can go in too, though they're heavy. If your project must meet the City's recycling rule, ask your account manager about keeping recyclables separate.
