At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Daly City, California, and the northern San Mateo County communities around it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Hillside homes that need kitchen and bath updates, re-roofing on older houses, and steady construction work just south of San Francisco keep roll-off containers in demand for homeowners and contractors.
The price of a container depends on its size, the debris you're tossing, how long it stays, and the disposal fees where the load is taken. Below, you'll find price ranges, City street permit costs, the local debris box rule you should know about before booking, and what California keeps out of the trash.

In Daly City, a few local rules shape the cost as much as the container does.
Start with the size. A larger container costs more, but the right fit keeps you from paying for a second haul or going over your weight allowance.
Then think about weight. Stucco, tile, concrete, and roofing are heavy, and disposal sites around the Bay Area charge by weight. Mattresses, appliances, and tires can carry their own fees, so name them when you book.
Street placement adds a City fee. Many Daly City homes sit on narrow lots with steep driveways, so the container sometimes has to go in the street. The City's Master Fee Schedule lists a Temporary Container fee of $557.00, plus $111.00 for each week after the first and a $500.00 refundable deposit.
Recycling rules can add a deposit, too. Daly City requires many remodels, roof tear-offs, and demolitions to recycle at least 60% of their debris. The C&D program sheet covers alterations over $15,000, new construction over $25,000, and roof tear-offs over 100 square feet. A deposit is paid with the building permit and returned, less a $91 fee, once you show recycling receipts.

Choosing a size depends on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom remodel, a bedroom cleanout, or a small yard project. It's also the pick for concrete, stucco, or tile, which reach the weight limit before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof tear-off. It adds room without jumping to a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Daly City for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, new construction, and demolition with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. It's made for commercial projects, large demolition, and big property cleanouts. On a tight residential street, a smaller container is often easier to place.
Your account manager can help you match the size to the job and the space you have.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally won't need a City permit in Daly City. Once it sits in the street or on the sidewalk, it's in the public right-of-way, and the City needs to approve it first.
Daly City handles that through an encroachment permit from the Public Works Engineering Division. The City's encroachment permit page notes that part of a front yard behind the sidewalk may also be in the right-of-way, so check before you pick a spot.
The property owner or the contractor applies. You'll submit the application, pay the fees and deposit, and provide proof of liability insurance that names the City as an additional insured. The fee schedule lists the Temporary Container fee at $557.00, with $111.00 for each extra week and a $500.00 deposit.
The Engineering Division is at City Hall, 333 90th Street. Call 650-991-8064 to ask about property lines, timing, and what the City needs for your address. Your account manager can also help you reach the right contact before delivery.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is fine to load. California's disposal rules and the site that accepts your load set the limits.
California bans a long list of items from the trash. CalRecycle says it's illegal to throw away hazardous waste because it can harm health and cause fires. That list includes every kind of battery, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, mercury thermostats, electronics, oil-based and latex paint, solvents, antifreeze, and motor oil.
A few building materials are on that list too. Wood treated with preservatives has to be handled as hazardous waste. Propane tanks and other gas cylinders can't go in, and asbestos, which can show up in older roofing, flooring, and siding, needs special handling.
Liquids and fuel are also off limits in a standard dumpster. Tires, mattresses, and appliances should be pulled out or listed when you book, since disposal sites handle them separately.
When you're not sure about something, ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
Daly City is not part of the San Mateo County system that serves most cities further down the Peninsula. It runs its own garbage and debris box service through a franchise. The City's C&D program sheet says only the City's franchised provider is allowed to supply debris boxes within Daly City.
That same sheet lists the sites the City approves for mixed construction debris, in South San Francisco, San Bruno, San Carlos, and San Francisco. Loads of crushed asphalt, concrete, and dirt can go to a landfill on San Mateo Road near Half Moon Bay. If your project must meet the 60% recycling rule, the load has to go to a site that sorts it, and you'll need the receipts to get your deposit back.
For you, this means two things. First, how a container gets placed in Daly City depends on the franchise rule, so we'll check how it applies to your project before you book. Second, the destination depends on what's in the container. Your account manager will confirm both and explain the fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in the area can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. In Daly City, allow extra time so your account manager can confirm the franchise rule and any street permit before the truck is booked.
Use these tips to keep things on track:
Keep in mind that City offices work weekdays. Permit questions and approvals go through Engineering during the work week, so start them early if you're aiming for a weekend project.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Daly City, including the neighboring community of Broadmoor, along with Colma, South San Francisco, Pacifica, San Bruno, and Millbrae nearby. Wherever your project is, we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your timeline.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll check the local debris box rule, help you choose a size, and give you a clear price on the call.
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 Daly City range 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. Debris weight, disposal fees, and any City street fee also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage, overage rates, and how local rules apply.
For most jobs, a dumpster is the better deal. The disposal sites the City lists are all outside Daly City, so hauling it yourself means trips to South San Francisco, San Bruno, or beyond, with a fee each time. One dumpster takes the whole project in a single haul and saves you the driving.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving space for a mattress, chairs, and boxes. Furniture takes up room but doesn't weigh much, so you'll run out of space well before you hit the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. California also bans batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, treated wood, and propane tanks from the trash. Tell us about tires, mattresses, and appliances when you book, since they're handled separately.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight, so a small container full of concrete or stucco can go over its limit. Keeping the container on your driveway also saves the City's street fee.
Three days typically costs the same as our five-day rental, since dumpsters are priced by the job and not by the day. Weight changes the bill more than time does. If the container sits in the street, the City's fee is weekly, so ask your account manager how that fits your schedule.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, stucco, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general clutter. Clean concrete, asphalt, and dirt are accepted too, and keeping them separate makes them easier to recycle. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
