Several local details shape the cost of a dumpster in La Canada Flintridge.
Container size sets your starting point. A bigger container costs more, but one that fits the whole job saves you from ordering a second haul.
Weight is what the landfill charges for. The Sanitation Districts' posted tipping fees put mixed and inert waste at Scholl Canyon Landfill at $85.91 per ton, with a one-ton minimum, and bulky hard-to-handle items at $100.91 per ton. Tile, plaster, and stone add weight quickly.
Where the container sits matters too. On your driveway, there's no City fee. In the street, you'll need the City's bin permit first, which is a small cost but takes a little planning.
Foothill streets can play a part as well. Narrow, winding roads and tight driveways can limit where a truck can set a container, so share photos or details of your drop spot with your account manager.

Match the container to the weight of your debris, not only the volume, since the landfill charges by the ton. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a single room or a small bathroom taken back to the studs. It's the best pick for tile, plaster, brick, and concrete, which reach the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout or a roof tear-off, where the debris takes up space more than it adds weight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-home cleanout or new flooring throughout a house, and it's one of the most requested sizes in this area.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for major renovations, additions, and new home construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for large rebuilds, commercial work, and demolition.
Describe the project to your account manager and they'll help you find the right fit.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a private lot, doesn't need a City permit. If it sits in the street, an alley, or on a sidewalk, it's in the public right-of-way, and the City requires a permit first.
The City of La Canada Flintridge handles this with a Temporary Encroachment Permit. Its master fee schedule lists that permit for bins, signage, and wood-post mailboxes at $55 per permit. A full encroachment permit for curb, gutter, or sidewalk work is a separate, larger permit.
Apply through ConnectLCF, the City's online permit system, and review the submittal requirements there before you file. The Public Works Department handles these permits and can be reached at 818-790-8882.
The City doesn't publish an approval time, so file well before your delivery date. Your account manager can help you confirm whether your spot is public right-of-way and find the right contact at City Hall.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is fine to load. California's disposal rules and the landfill's own limits set the boundaries.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage. The state's banned list covers fluorescent lamps and tubes, every kind of battery, paint and solvents, aerosol cans that aren't empty, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, tires, pesticides, propane and other gas cylinders, asbestos, treated wood, and electronics.
In practice, that means no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos in your container. Used mattresses have their own statewide take-back program, so they're better dropped at a collection site than tossed in a load.
Scholl Canyon has one more rule that matters here. The Sanitation Districts' fee page says the landfill can't accept disaster-related waste, including green waste from high winds, and it charges at least $500 when such waste arrives anyway. If your cleanup follows a storm or fire, tell your account manager so the load goes to a site that can take it.
Unsure about an item? Your account manager can check before it goes in the container.
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.
Most dumpster loads from La Canada Flintridge go to Scholl Canyon Landfill at 3001 Scholl Canyon Road, Glendale, CA 91206. The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County run it, and the site sits in the hills just north of the 134 freeway.
According to the Districts' Scholl Canyon page, it's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and it's closed Sundays and major holidays. The phone is 818-243-9779.
The landfill serves a restricted area. A City of Glendale ordinance limits it to waste from a set list of places, including La Canada Flintridge, Glendale, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, Altadena, La Crescenta, and Montrose. That keeps the haul short for local jobs. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
3001 Scholl Canyon Road, Glendale, CA 91206
Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; closed Sundays.
Most rentals here can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days of notice leaves time for the bin permit and a good look at the drop spot.
These tips help your delivery go smoothly:
Keep the landfill schedule in mind. Scholl Canyon closes at 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually goes out on Monday.

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.
Rentals here 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. What you load and the landfill's per-ton rate also affect the final price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
For most jobs, renting costs less. The landfill charges a one-ton minimum on each load, so a half-full pickup costs the same as a full ton, and a real cleanout takes several trips. Add fuel and the time spent loading and driving, and one container usually comes out ahead.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes can go in with it. Furniture is bulky but light, which is exactly the kind of load a small container handles well.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. California also bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, propane tanks, treated wood, and tires from the trash. Storm or fire debris needs special handling, so mention it when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Because the landfill bills by weight, a small container packed with tile or plaster can cost more than a bigger one filled with light furniture. Keeping the container on your driveway also avoids a street permit.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. The tonnage in your load has a bigger effect on the total. Ask your account manager for the overage rate and any extra-day cost before delivery.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean dirt and clean asphalt are also accepted at the landfill when kept in their own loads. Check with your account manager before loading anything you're unsure about.
