At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Madera, California, and the surrounding Madera County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Growing neighborhoods, older homes getting new roofs and kitchens, and a steady pace of construction across the county keep roll-off containers busy. Whether you're a homeowner or a contractor, a container makes the cleanup part of the job easier.
Your price depends on the container size, what you're throwing away, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below, we cover price ranges, Madera's street permit, the City's franchise and recycling rules, and what California keeps out of the trash.

Here's what affects the cost of a dumpster in Madera.
Container size sets the base price. A container that's big enough for the whole job keeps you from paying for a second haul.
Weight matters because the county landfill charges by the ton. Tile, plaster, roofing, and concrete add weight quickly, while furniture and cabinets mostly take up space.
Distance plays a part too. Madera's trash goes to Fairmead Landfill, about 16 miles northwest near Chowchilla, so every load makes that round trip.
City rules can shape your plans. Some construction and demolition projects in Madera must recycle or reuse at least 65% of their debris, and a container parked in a street needs an Encroachment Permit, which starts at $202.00. Ask your account manager how these rules fit your project.

Estimate both the amount and the weight of your debris. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a single room, a small bathroom remodel, or a load of broken concrete. Heavy debris reaches the weight limit long before it fills this container, so it's the right size for dense loads.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Madera for whole-house cleanouts and multi-room remodels.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits larger renovations and new home construction, where framing scraps and drywall pile up.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size, built for commercial sites and large demolition work.

A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a private lot, generally doesn't need a City permit in Madera. A container in a street, alley, or on a sidewalk is another story.
The City's Encroachment Permit covers any obstruction in, over, or on a public sidewalk, street, alley, or public place that creates a safety concern. The Engineering Division issues it. The City's permit form lists a minimum fee of $202.00, plus improvement security that starts at $500, which can be a bond or a refundable cash deposit. The permit form is written mostly for construction work, so check how it applies to a short container placement.
The Engineering Division is at 428 East Yosemite Avenue and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 559-661-5418 to ask about the fee and timing before you set a delivery date.
If you're unsure whether your spot is public right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most household and construction debris can go in your container. California's hazardous waste rules and the landfill's own list set the limits.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. CalRecycle also bans many common items from the trash, including batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, and tires, which are banned to prevent mosquito breeding and tire fires. Its list of banned items explains where each one should go.
Appliances with Freon and tires are charged by the piece at the landfill, so mention them when you book. Mattresses aren't banned from the trash in California, but they're handled through a separate recycling program.
A household hazardous waste drop-off at the landfill is open to residents on Saturday mornings, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
If something on your list isn't covered here, ask your account manager 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.
Loads from Madera go to Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19, Chowchilla, CA 93610. Madera County owns the landfill, and a private company runs it under contract with the county. It's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It's closed on Sundays and holidays. You can reach it at 559-665-1310. The City's landfill page lists the details.
Inside city limits, Madera grants one company an exclusive franchise for trash service. That franchise also covers temporary drop boxes for construction and demolition debris. Your account manager will confirm how the franchise applies to your address before you book, since it can affect who is allowed to place a roll-off container within the City.
Outside city limits, in unincorporated Madera County, different rules may apply. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain any disposal fees before delivery.
Where we can serve your address, Madera rentals can usually be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early leaves time to check the franchise rule and any street permit.
Follow these tips for an easy delivery:
Fairmead closes at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually heads out early the next week.

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 Madera 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. The debris type and landfill fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage, overage rates, and whether the City's franchise rule applies.
For one small load, driving to Fairmead yourself can work. Once a project needs several trips, a dumpster usually saves money and time, since each run means a disposal fee plus the drive to Chowchilla and back. A rental lets you load at your own pace and send it all at once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container. That leaves space for a mattress, a few chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but fairly light, so you'll usually fill the space long before you reach the weight limit.
Leave hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Madera dumpster. California also bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, and tires from the trash. Appliances with Freon are charged by the piece at the landfill, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Because the landfill charges by weight, a small container full of tile or concrete can cost more than expected. Matching the size to the weight of your debris is the best way to keep costs down.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight changes your bill more than the rental length does. Your account manager can explain the included tonnage and any extra-day charge.
Most everyday debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing, cabinets, furniture, and yard waste. Some construction projects in Madera must recycle part of their debris, so sorting may help. Tires and Freon appliances need to be declared. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
