At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Chico, California, and the rest of Butte County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Rental turnovers, kitchen and bath remodels in the older neighborhoods around downtown, roof work, and new construction across the valley keep containers moving for homeowners and contractors here.
Your price reflects the size you rent, the weight and type of the debris, how long you keep the container, and the county's gate fees at the landfill. Below you'll find our price ranges, the local disposal charges, the City's street permit rules, and what California keeps out of the trash.

Here's what moves the number on a Chico rental.
Size is the starting point. A larger container costs more, but the right one saves you from overage charges and a second haul.
Weight decides the rest. Butte County's published gate fees charge $64.88 a ton for garbage, trash, debris, and refuse at the Neal Road facility, where loads from Chico go. Plaster, tile, shingles, and anything carrying soil climb that scale quickly.
Sorting pays off here, and the county's fee schedule shows why. Green and wood waste crosses the scale at $42.11 a ton, and clean asphalt, soil, and concrete at $0.00 a ton. Keeping prunings or clean fill out of your mixed load is worth planning with your account manager before delivery.
Placement plays a part too. A container on your driveway or lot needs no City paperwork. One in a street, on a sidewalk, or in a public easement needs a permit from the City of Chico, and that takes lead time.

Choose by the weight of your debris as much as the volume, because the county bills by the ton. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster covers one room taken back to the studs or a small bathroom remodel. It's also the pick for plaster, tile, brick, and concrete, which reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a modest roof tear-off. Loads like these are mostly bulk, so the added room gets used.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Chico households choose for a whole-home cleanout or a remodel that runs through several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, additions, and new home construction where mixed debris piles up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and suits commercial sites, major demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager what the job involves and they'll match a size to it.
A container on your own driveway or lot doesn't need a permit from the City of Chico. The rules change if it sits in a city street, on a sidewalk or path, or in a public service easement.
For those spots, the City requires an encroachment permit, which covers construction work in the public right-of-way. The Engineering Department handles it at 411 Main Street, and applications go through the City's online eTRAKiT portal. Call 530-879-6700 with questions about registering or about your placement.
The City aims to review and process completed applications within ten business days, and it notes that the scope of work, the location, and how complete your paperwork is can all change that. File early if your delivery date is set.
On cost, the City's own fee schedule lists $23.00 for placing building materials in the public right of way, and $38.00 plus $20 per space per day for temporary use of a metered parking space. No line says "dumpster" outright, so ask Engineering which one fits your spot. Your account manager can help you get that question to the right desk before you book a delivery date.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine in the container. The limits come from California's rules and from what the county facility will take.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage. The state's banned list covers fluorescent lamps and tubes, batteries of all sizes, flammables and poisons, acids and bases, pool chemicals, pesticides, oil-based paint, solvents, antifreeze, motor oil and filters, tires, asbestos, treated wood, and electronics from TVs to cell phones.
Butte County's own rules add detail. The Neal Road facility won't take antifreeze, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, refrigerant gas, batteries or battery acid, pressurized aerosol cans, or mercury thermometers. Crumbly asbestos is refused outright, while the solid kind is accepted only when it's wrapped in heavy plastic, taped, or otherwise secured for burial. The facility also can't accept fire debris that hasn't been screened for hazardous material.
Hiding a banned item costs money. The county's posted fees include $15.00 each time staff have to pull prohibited waste out of a commercial hauler's load. Declaring an awkward item to your account manager costs nothing.
Household chemicals, paint, and batteries have a local home at the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Marauder Street in Chico, open Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
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.
Loads from Chico go to the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility, the county landfill at 1023 Neal Road, Paradise, CA 95969. The City of Chico points residents to the same site, and Butte County runs it. You can reach the facility at 530-345-4917.
It's open Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed on New Year's Day, Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day, with a half day on Christmas Eve. Since the gate is open seven days a week, pickup timing here is more flexible than in most markets.
The county charges by weight and by material, so what you put in the container decides much of your final bill. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and walk through the disposal charges before your delivery.
1023 Neal Road, Paradise, CA 95969
Butte County landfill, open Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed major holidays.
Most Chico rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling ahead leaves room for the City's permit review if your container has to sit in the street.
These steps keep a delivery on schedule:
One more scheduling note: the Neal Road facility is open every day of the week, so a container filled on a weekend can usually be hauled without waiting for Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Chico and the Butte County communities around it, including Nord, Durham, Paradise, Magalia, and the unincorporated areas along Cohasset Road.

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 Chico run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. The debris you load and Butte County's per-ton gate fees also shape your total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most projects, renting is cheaper. Every self-haul trip to Neal Road carries a minimum charge no matter how little you bring, plus fuel and the better part of an hour each way. Six small loads means six minimums and six drives, while one container handles the job in a single haul.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a chair or two, and the boxes nobody unpacked. Household furniture fills the volume long before the weight becomes a concern.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, paint, pressurized cylinders, and asbestos. California also bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, and treated wood from the trash. Tires, appliances, and refrigerant units are taken locally but priced by the piece, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the final bill, since the county charges by the ton. Ten yards of tile can weigh more than twenty yards of furniture, so size the container to the material rather than to the pile.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day period, because roll-off containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. The weight of your load matters far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what an extra day costs and what the per-ton overage rate is before delivery.
Everyday construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, packaging, and general clutter. Clean concrete, soil, and yard trimmings are accepted too, and they cost less at the county gate when kept in their own load. Ask your account manager about anything that seems borderline.
