Several things set the cost of a dumpster in Gallup, and most of them are in your control.
The container size is the biggest one. Larger dumpsters cost more, but a too-small container can leave you paying for another haul. We'll help you size it right the first time.
Your debris type matters next. Adobe, stucco, brick, and concrete are dense and eat up a weight allowance quickly. Old cabinets, furniture, and cleanout junk are bulky but much lighter.
Disposal fees are the third piece. Loads from Gallup go through the regional solid waste authority, which charges by the ton. At its Gallup transfer station, construction and demolition debris runs $53.00 per ton with an $8.00 minimum.
Local rules count, too. The City of Gallup runs its own trash service and offers roll-off containers, and City code gives its Solid Waste Director oversight of waste collection inside city limits. Your account manager will confirm how that applies to your address before you book.

Pick a size by thinking about how much debris the job will make and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small cleanout, or broken concrete from a patio. Heavy materials like stucco and brick fill the weight limit before the space, so this size is often the right call for them.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof. It adds room without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick for Gallup homes during a full cleanout or a remodel that spans several rooms. It handles most household projects with space to spare.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits major renovations, additions, and new home builds. It's a good choice when the job produces a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we carry. It serves commercial construction, large demolition, and big property cleanups.
If you're stuck between sizes, share the project details with your account manager, and they'll point you to the best fit.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, usually doesn't need a permit in Gallup. It's a different matter when the container sits in a street or other public right-of-way.
The City of Gallup sends all right-of-way work through its Public Works Department, which issues Municipal Right-of-Way permits. Streets that are state highways fall under the New Mexico Department of Transportation instead. The City doesn't list a dumpster fee, so ask before you plan a street drop.
Public Works is on the second floor of City Hall at 110 W. Aztec Ave., open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can call 505-863-1290 with questions. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot is public right-of-way and who to contact.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from New Mexico's solid waste rules and from the regional authority that takes the load.
New Mexico doesn't allow car batteries at any landfill. The state also keeps liquid waste out of landfills, other than small household containers, and it bans petroleum waste and hazardous waste from regular disposal sites.
That means hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. The regional authority adds its own rules: every load must be covered, and it won't take hot ashes or any hazardous waste.
City code also groups bricks, concrete, tires, tree limbs, and appliances as demolition waste that goes to a separate disposal area. Mention tires and appliances when you book so we can plan for them.
When you're unsure about an item, 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.
City trash service in Gallup won't take roofing, rock, dirt, or bulk construction debris in its regular pickups, and it charges extra for those loads. For a remodel or cleanout, a dumpster keeps everything in one place.
Most dumpster loads from Gallup go to the McKinley County Transfer Station at 107 Hasler Valley Road in Gallup. It's run by the Northwest New Mexico Regional Solid Waste Authority, a public authority that serves McKinley and Cibola counties. Call the station at 505-863-5776 for current hours.
Some loads go straight to the Authority's Red Rocks Regional Landfill at 101 Red Mesa Bluff Drive in Thoreau, east of town. Both sites weigh each load and charge by the ton.
Your account manager can confirm which site your load is headed to and explain any fees before delivery.
107 Hasler Valley Road, Gallup, NM 87301
Run by the regional solid waste authority. Call ahead for current hours.
101 Red Mesa Bluff Drive, Thoreau, NM 87323
Regional landfill east of Gallup. All loads must be covered.
You can usually get a dumpster in Gallup within one to two business days, and it arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early leaves time to check street rules and prepare the drop spot, and it may lower your cost.
To make delivery go smoothly:
If you plan to haul extra items yourself, call the transfer station ahead, since it posts its hours day by day.

Dumpster rentals in Gallup run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, for a five-day rental. The type of debris and the regional disposal fees also affect your final price. Your account manager will confirm the weight included and any overage rate when you book.
A dumpster usually costs less for anything past a small job. Every self-haul trip means a per-ton charge, fuel, and time loading and unloading. For a remodel or full cleanout, one dumpster rental often beats several trips to the transfer station.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. You'll have room left for a bed frame, a recliner, and bags of household junk. Bulky furniture fills space quickly but rarely comes close to the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, car batteries, and asbestos can't go in a Gallup dumpster. New Mexico keeps batteries and liquid waste out of landfills, and the regional authority won't take hot ashes. Tell us about tires or appliances when you book so we can plan for them.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. The final bill still depends on weight. Filling it with stucco, brick, or concrete can push it past the limit and add overage fees, so keep heavy debris in check.
Most three-day rentals cost the same as five days, since we price dumpsters per job, not per day. The weight you load has a bigger impact on your bill than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and the rate for extra.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt can go in too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container usually handles them best. If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager first.
