At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lathrop, California, and the neighboring San Joaquin County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Lathrop has grown quickly, with new neighborhoods like River Islands filling in alongside older streets near Mossdale. That mix of new home construction, move-in projects, garage cleanouts, and backyard makeovers keeps roll-off containers in steady use.
Your cost depends on the container size, the debris type, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the county transfer station. Below, you'll find our price ranges, how Lathrop handles trash service and street permits, what California keeps out of the trash, and where Lathrop loads are taken.

A handful of things decide what a dumpster costs in Lathrop.
Container size is the obvious one. Bigger costs more, but picking a size that fits the job keeps you clear of overage fees and extra hauls.
Debris weight comes next. Loads are weighed at the county scale, so roofing, tile, and wet yard waste raise the total quickly. Couches, boxes, and old toys fill space without adding much weight.
The receiving facility sets the disposal fees. San Joaquin County's Lovelace price sheet lists $78.78 per ton for loads charged by weight, with a $38.50 minimum. It also charges double for a load that arrives uncovered, so every container needs to be tarped for the trip.
City rules come into play as well. Lathrop runs its trash collection through a franchise, and a container in the street needs an encroachment permit. Your account manager will go over both with you before you book.

Choose a size based on the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a good match for a bathroom update, a single-room cleanout, or a small pile of broken concrete. Dense material fills the weight allowance quickly, so a small container is often the better buy.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, flooring removal in several rooms, or a backyard project with old fencing and pavers.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is popular in Lathrop for whole-house cleanouts, move-outs, and remodels that span a few rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for large renovations, room additions, and new home construction with plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest option. It's built for commercial projects, demolition, and large cleanouts.
Share the details with your account manager, and they'll point you to the size that fits best.
When the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, you usually won't need a City permit in Lathrop. That changes if any part of the container ends up in the street or another public space.
The City's encroachment permit page says an application is required for any work within the City's right-of-way, public property, or easements. Applications go through the Public Works Department on the Lathrop Civic Access Portal. You'll need a certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured, plus a traffic control plan.
The City's 2026 fee schedule lists the encroachment permit application at $120. No review time is posted, so apply well ahead of your delivery date.
For permit questions, call Lathrop Public Works at 209-941-7430. Your account manager can also help you find the right person to ask.
Most household and building debris is fine. The limits come from California's trash bans and from the rules at the county transfer station.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage. That covers batteries, fluorescent bulbs, paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, and antifreeze. It also covers tires, electronics like TVs and computers, propane tanks, asbestos, and treated wood.
The Lovelace facility has its own list of refused items. It won't take hazardous or liquid waste, pressure-treated wood, logs and tree stumps, or large loads of concrete, dirt, rock, or asphalt. Some heavy construction pieces that could damage its equipment are turned away as well.
Solvents and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster either. Household chemicals can go to the county's hazardous waste drop-off in Stockton, which is open Thursday through Saturday.
If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager 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.
Lathrop has no landfill or transfer station inside city limits. The nearest county-run site is the Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station at 2323 East Lovelace Road, Manteca, CA 95336. San Joaquin County has owned and run it since 1977, and the county's facility page posts a live view of the scale line.
Lovelace is open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It closes on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The phone number is 209-982-5770. It takes cards and business checks, but no cash.
Because Lovelace refuses large loads of concrete and dirt, a container full of heavy material may need a different destination. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
2323 East Lovelace Road, Manteca, CA 95336
Open daily, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; cards and business checks only, no cash.
Most dumpster rentals in Lathrop can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a little early leaves time to confirm the franchise rules and apply for a street permit if you need one.
Tips for an easy delivery:
Lovelace is open every day of the week, which helps keep pickups moving. It does close for four major holidays, so plan around those dates.

In Lathrop, our 10-yard dumpster runs $399 to $499, and our 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and county disposal fees affect the final number. Since the City uses a franchise for trash service, your account manager will confirm how that applies before you book.
A single pickup load may be cheaper to haul yourself. Bigger jobs are another story. Each trip to Lovelace carries a minimum fee, a tarp for the load, and time spent in line at the scale. One dumpster lets you fill up at home and have everything hauled away in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about 20 percent of a 10-yard dumpster. The rest has room for a mattress, a few chairs, a dresser, and bags of clutter. Furniture is bulky but not heavy, so space usually runs out before weight does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, batteries, and asbestos. California also bans tires, electronics, propane tanks, and treated wood from the trash. The Lovelace facility refuses tree stumps and large loads of concrete or dirt. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. The weight of your debris still has the biggest impact on the final bill. A small container full of roofing or tile can go over its limit, so keep heavy material separate when you can.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day rental. We price per job, not per day, and your load's weight drives the bill more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what's included and what an extra day or extra ton would cost.
Most construction and cleanout debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, cabinets, carpet, roofing, furniture, and general household junk. Small amounts of concrete or dirt are usually fine, but large loads need special handling. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
