Several things move the price of a dumpster in Belmont.
The container size you choose sets the starting point. Bigger costs more, but an undersized container can lead to overage charges or a second haul.
Your debris matters, too. Heavy material like concrete, dirt, and roofing costs more to dispose of, and bulky items like couches and water heaters carry their own per-item fees at the transfer station.
The disposal site is close by. Belmont's waste goes to the Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos, which prices most loads by volume. Its transfer station rates, effective January 1, 2026, list construction debris at $67.00 per cubic yard with a $67.00 minimum. That's a facility fee, not our rental price.
Placement is the last piece. A container in the street needs a City permit, a deposit or bond, and a business license, so keeping it on your driveway is usually the simpler and cheaper route.

Choose a size based on the volume and weight of your debris, and on how much room you have. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small room cleanout, or a load of broken concrete and brick. Heavy debris fills its weight allowance before the container fills up, so dense jobs belong here.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof. It gives you more space for only a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Belmont for a full kitchen remodel or a whole-home cleanout.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, additions, and new home construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial projects, large demolition, and major property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about your driveway and your project, and they'll help you find a size that fits both.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway, generally doesn't need a City permit in Belmont. Once any part of it sits in a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, you'll need a permit first.
Belmont's City code lets the Public Works director allow a temporary construction debris bin in the right-of-way. The City handles this through a Temporary Encroachment Permit. Its permit page says you'll need a current City Business License, and you'll send a traffic control plan and a sketch or site photos with the application. You also need a bond or a minimum $600.00 surety deposit before work in the right-of-way.
The City doesn't list a review time for these permits. Call Belmont Public Works at 650-595-7425 before you pick a delivery date, and ask what your placement needs.
If you're unsure where your property line sits, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact.
Most construction and cleanout debris can go in your container. California's disposal rules set the main limits.
CalRecycle's list of items banned from the trash applies statewide. It covers all batteries, fluorescent tubes, oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, tires, propane tanks, and treated wood. Electronics like TVs, monitors, laptops, printers, and microwaves can't go in the trash either.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, fuel, and asbestos also can't go in a standard dumpster. San Mateo County Health offers free drop-off appointments for household hazardous waste to county residents. You can bring up to 10 gallons or 50 pounds per appointment and book as many appointments as you need. Call 650-372-6200 to schedule one.
For a couch or old appliance, the City's contract hauler offers single-family homes two scheduled bulky item pickups a year at no extra charge.
Ask your account manager about anything on your list you aren't sure of.
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.
Belmont's garbage, recycling, and organics are collected under a City contract. Loads from the area go to the Shoreway Environmental Center at 333 Shoreway Road, San Carlos, CA 94070. RethinkWaste, a public agency that Belmont belongs to, owns the site.
The transfer station is open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. You can reach Shoreway at 650-802-8355.
Belmont's franchise agreement gives its contract hauler the exclusive right to collect household garbage, while debris boxes holding construction waste are open to other companies. If your container will hold a mix of household trash and building debris, your account manager will confirm how the City's rules apply before booking. They'll also confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees.
333 Shoreway Road, San Carlos, CA 94070
Transfer station open weekdays 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Most Belmont rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container needs a street permit, give yourself extra time for the City's review.
A few tips make delivery easier:
Shoreway's transfer station is open seven days a week, so a container filled on a weekend can often be hauled without a long wait.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Belmont run 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. Your debris type and the disposal fees at Shoreway also affect your price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For most remodels and cleanouts, a dumpster costs less. Each self-haul trip to Shoreway means a disposal charge and a minimum fee, plus gas and loading time. A dumpster sits on your driveway until the work is done, and we haul it all away in a single trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about 20 percent of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, a bookcase, and bags of household items. Furniture is bulky but not heavy, so you'll usually run out of space before hitting the weight limit.
In Belmont, leave hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. California also bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, tires, treated wood, and electronics like TVs and laptops from the trash. San Mateo County residents can drop off hazardous items free by appointment.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight and placement still shape your final cost. Keeping the container on your driveway avoids the City permit and deposit, and keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, so the weight and type of debris affect the total more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and overage rates.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, cabinets, flooring, roofing, furniture, and general clutter. Treated wood, like old fence boards or deck framing, needs separate handling in California. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
