A few factors decide what a dumpster costs in Alamo.
The size you choose is the starting point. Bigger containers cost more, but the right size keeps you clear of overage fees or a second haul.
Weight is a big deal here. Caliche, mortar, roof tile, and broken slab are dense, and they can fill a weight allowance long before the container looks full.
Alamo has no landfill of its own, so the drive and the disposal fees count. The City of Edinburg's landfill, about 13 miles north, posts its disposal rates online. Waste from outside Edinburg is charged $11.67 per cubic yard or $35 per ton, with a $25 minimum, and an uncovered load adds 15% to the fee. Those are landfill fees, not rental prices.
City rules can matter too. Alamo's code limits household garbage containers to those provided by the City or its licensed contractor. Your account manager will confirm how that applies to your project before booking.

Pick your size by the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster empties a bedroom or handles a small bathroom remodel. It's also the right choice for caliche, concrete, or tile, which reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers a whole-home cleanout or new flooring across several rooms. For heavy construction debris, it's usually the biggest size worth filling.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for a gutted kitchen and bathroom together, a large addition, or new construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's made for demolition, commercial builds, and large property cleanups.
Tell your account manager what you're working on, and they'll help you pick a size.
If the container stays on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or parking lot, you generally won't need anything from the City of Alamo. Placing it in a public street, an alley, or across a sidewalk is different, and it's worth asking the City first.
Alamo's code keeps residential trash carts inside the curb line and out of alleys, and it leaves the placement of commercial containers to the City Manager or the City's licensed contractor. It doesn't list a fee for a roll-off container in the street.
For street placement questions, call the City of Alamo Planning and Development department at 956-787-0006 and choose option 4. The City's Planning and Development page covers building and zoning questions, and Code Enforcement handles illegal dumping reports. Your account manager can help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most construction and household debris is allowed. Texas rules and the landfill's own list set the limits.
Texas keeps several items out of every permitted landfill, according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The list includes lead-acid batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, whole tires, liquid waste, regulated hazardous waste, and PCB waste. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners with refrigerant are banned as well, which catches old window units.
The Edinburg landfill turns away the same items, along with closed drums and untreated medical waste.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Alamo residents can take some bulky items to the City's own roll-off at Public Works, but it refuses tires, batteries, hazardous waste, tile, concrete, Freon appliances, brush, and electronics.
If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Alamo has no landfill inside the city. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's January 2026 landfill list shows three active landfill permits in Hidalgo County, two of them held by the City of Edinburg.
The nearest public site is the Edinburg Regional Disposal Facility at 8601 N Jasman Rd, Edinburg, TX 78542. It's open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The phone number is 956-381-5635. Loads must be tarped or they pay the 15% surcharge.
For small household loads, Alamo residents can use the City's roll-off at the City of Alamo Public Works Service Center, 803 S. Tower Rd., Alamo, TX 78516. It's open Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., with proof of residence. Contractors can't use it. Call 956-787-8321 with questions.
Your account manager will confirm which facility takes your load and explain the fees before delivery.
8601 N Jasman Rd, Edinburg, TX 78542
City of Edinburg landfill; open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
803 S. Tower Rd., Alamo, TX 78516
Residents-only roll-off, weekdays 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.; no contractors.
Most Alamo rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early gives you time to clear the drop spot and check any street placement.
Here's how to make delivery easy:
The Edinburg landfill closes at 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays. In the Valley heat, it also pays to schedule pickup soon after a household cleanout is loaded.

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 Alamo costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the landfill's disposal fees affect the final number. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a big project, the dumpster usually wins. Self-hauling from Alamo means driving to Edinburg and paying the outside rate every trip, with a minimum charge even for a small load. A dumpster lets you load everything once while we handle the trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for mattresses, chairs, and boxes. Alamo residents can also drop off couches and mattresses at the City's Public Works roll-off, so a single piece may not need a rental at all.
Texas bans whole tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil and oil filters, liquid waste, hazardous waste, PCB waste, and refrigerant appliances from its landfills. Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos also stay out. Mention any appliances when you book so we can plan for them.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. A small container packed with caliche or mortar can still run over its weight allowance, though. Keeping heavy debris separate and picking the right size are the easiest ways to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since dumpsters are priced by the job rather than the day. The weight of your debris has a bigger effect on the bill. Ask your account manager about overage rates before delivery.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, carpet, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and tile can go in too, within the weight limit, even though the City's own drop-off won't take them. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
