At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Corpus Christi, Texas, and the Coastal Bend in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Hurricane-season repairs, roof replacements, home remodels, and steady commercial and industrial construction around the city keep roll-off containers in demand year-round.
Four things decide your price: the container size, the debris type, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees where your load ends up. Here's a look at price ranges, the City's rules for placing a dumpster in the street, and what Texas landfills won't take.

Here's what goes into the cost of a Corpus Christi dumpster.
Size comes first. The right container carries the whole job in one haul and saves you from a costly swap.
Weight is next. Roofing shingles, wet drywall, and concrete are heavy, and they use up your included tonnage quickly. Anything over that amount is billed as overage.
Where the load goes also matters. The City of Corpus Christi owns the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill southwest of town, and debris is charged by weight at disposal. Concrete, brick, and rock often need a separate plan, since the City's transfer station won't take them in construction loads.
Local rules add a few steps. A dumpster in the street needs a City right-of-way permit, and the fee is based on how much space the container blocks.

Choose by how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small shed or garage cleanout, or a slab of broken concrete. It's the best size for heavy material, which reaches the weight limit long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a kitchen remodel, a tile or flooring tear-out, or a bigger garage cleanout. It gives you extra space for a small step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size for whole-house cleanouts, storm repairs, and remodels that span several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, additions, and new construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It handles commercial and industrial projects, demolition, and major cleanouts.
Your account manager can recommend a size once you share the details of your project.
Set the dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site you control, and you usually won't need a City permit. Once it sits in a street, alley, or sidewalk, you'll need one.
The City's Right of Way Management Division, part of Public Works, handles permits for blocking or occupying the right-of-way. The City counts streets, alleys, sidewalks, and the strip between the pavement and your property line as right-of-way. Its right-of-way permit application asks whether a construction dumpster is part of the job, and you'll show its placement on a traffic control plan. The fee is calculated from the square footage the container blocks, and you'll need proof of liability insurance.
For questions, call the Right of Way Management Division at 361-826-3547. Its office is at 2525 Hygeia Street, and the right-of-way permits page has contact details.
Corpus Christi also requires every company that hauls solid waste in the City to hold a City hauler permit. Your account manager will confirm how this rule applies before you book and can help you find the right City contact.
Most construction and cleanout debris can go in. The limits come from Texas landfill rules and from City facility rules.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality prohibits used oil, used oil filters, lead-acid batteries, and regulated hazardous waste at every type of municipal landfill, according to its guide to waste accepted by landfills. Keep car batteries and oil out of your container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Heavy masonry needs extra thought. The City's J.C. Elliott Transfer Station takes lumber, sheetrock, roofing, and dirt from homeowners, but not rock, concrete, or brick. Tires carry their own per-tire fee there. Mention masonry and tires when you book.
Your account manager can confirm whether an item is allowed 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.
The City of Corpus Christi runs two disposal sites. The J.C. Elliott Transfer Station on Hwy 286 at Ayers, just south of Saratoga Blvd., serves residents with a Corpus Christi driver's license. It's open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for household loads and non-commercial construction debris.
Larger and commercial loads generally go to the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill, which the City owns in Nueces County at FM 2444 and County Road 20, about 14 miles southwest of City Hall. It's a Type I landfill permitted by the state, and the City expects it to last about 100 years. Details are on the City's landfill and collection centers page, and landline callers can reach the City at 361-826-2489.
Every load must be tarped on the way in, and the City may charge a fee for uncovered loads. Your account manager can confirm where your debris is going and explain the disposal cost before delivery.
FM 2444 and County Road 20, Nueces County, TX
City of Corpus Christi landfill about 14 miles southwest of City Hall; call the City for hours.
Most Corpus Christi rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. After a storm, demand spikes, so call as early as possible.
Tips for a smooth drop-off:
The J.C. Elliott Transfer Station is closed on Sundays, and the City sets hours at each site, so ask your account manager how a weekend finish affects pickup.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Corpus Christi neighborhoods along Ayers Street, Saratoga Boulevard, and the Crosstown Expressway, plus the rest of the city and nearby Portland, Kingsville, and Victoria. We schedule delivery, pickup, and disposal around your project and the weather.

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.
Corpus Christi dumpsters run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Heavy or wet debris and disposal fees can change your total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates at booking.
For a small household load, the City's transfer station can be the cheaper choice for residents. For a remodel or storm cleanup, a dumpster is usually better. Contractor debris and masonry aren't accepted there, and repeated trailer trips take time. One container handles the full job.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills a container by volume well before it reaches the weight limit, unless it's soaked from a storm.
No hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos. Texas also prohibits used oil, oil filters, and lead-acid batteries at landfills. Tires and heavy masonry like concrete and brick need special handling, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight still matters. Concrete, shingles, and wet drywall fill the allowance fast and can lead to overage charges. Separating heavy debris is one of the easiest ways to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, and weight affects your bill more than days. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the rate for extra weight before your container arrives.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, plywood, sheetrock, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Dirt is fine too, and concrete or brick can go in a separate load. If you're unsure about something, your account manager can check before you load it.
