Several local details affect what a dumpster costs in Pleasant Hill.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more, but the right fit spares you overage charges and a second haul.
Weight and material come next. Disposal sites in the county set their fees by material type and quantity, so a mattress, an appliance, or a set of tires can each add a charge. Heavy loads of tile, stucco, or roofing add up fast, so tell us what you're tossing.
Recycling rules can shape the job, too. Pleasant Hill's construction and demolition ordinance requires covered projects to keep at least 65 percent of their waste out of the landfill. Sorting concrete, metal, or clean wood into separate loads can help you meet that goal.
Street placement has a price. The City's Master Fee Schedule lists a temporary container in the right-of-way at $164 plus $164 per hour of inspection, which the City says typically takes half an hour. A container that stays on your driveway avoids that fee.

The best size depends on how much debris you'll create and what it weighs. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gutted to the studs, a small bedroom cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from a walkway. Dense material like that fills the weight limit before it fills the space.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, new flooring across a few rooms, or a single-story roof. You get extra room without stepping up to a big container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Pleasant Hill for a kitchen remodel with a couple of baths, or for emptying a whole house before a sale.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, accessory dwelling units, and larger remodels that mix lumber, drywall, and roofing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's intended for commercial projects, full demolitions, and large property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll recommend a size that fits.
When your dumpster sits fully on private property, like your driveway, you generally won't need a permit from the City. If any part of it reaches the street, the sidewalk, or a public easement, you'll need an encroachment permit.
Pleasant Hill has a second rule to know about. The City runs garbage, recycling, and debris box service through a franchise. Its solid waste rules say no one other than a franchised hauler may place a collection container in the City, and they count roll-off boxes and debris boxes as containers. Your account manager will confirm how this rule applies to your project before you book.
For street placement, the Engineering Division takes encroachment permit applications through the City's PHill Online Service Center. The City says encroachment permits are needed whenever work is proposed in the public right-of-way or an easement. Call the Engineering Division at 925-671-5264. The counter at City Hall, 100 Gregory Lane, is open Monday through Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday until 6 p.m., and Friday until 1 p.m.

Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in a container. California's trash rules and the disposal site that takes your load set the limits.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage. In California, that list includes every kind of battery, fluorescent bulbs, paint and paint thinner, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, and propane tanks. It also covers TVs, monitors, laptops, and other electronics. Tires are banned from the trash too.
Some building materials fall under the same rules. Asbestos and wood treated with chemical preservatives must be handled as hazardous waste, so they can't go in a standard dumpster. Liquids, solvents, and fuel are out as well.
Keep needles and medical waste out too. Mattresses and appliances can carry their own disposal fees, so mention them when you book.
If 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.
Pleasant Hill has no landfill inside City limits, so every load leaves town. The Contra Costa County recycling guide lists the nearest disposal sites side by side in Martinez: a transfer and recovery station at 951 Waterbird Way and a landfill at 950 Waterbird Way. Both take mixed construction and demolition debris. The county's other large landfill serves commercial and industrial accounts only.
For the items that can't go in your dumpster, Pleasant Hill residents can use the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 4797 Imhoff Place, Martinez, CA 94553, at no charge. It takes paint, used oil, batteries, antifreeze, and other household hazardous waste. Visits are by appointment only, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 800-646-1431 to book.
For projects under the recycling ordinance, your load has to go to a facility that can document what was recycled. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and walk you through the fees before delivery.

Free for Pleasant Hill residents, by appointment, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Pleasant Hill can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time to confirm the franchise question, file any encroachment permit, and set up your recycling plan.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The City's encroachment permit limits right-of-way work to 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Contra Costa, Monument, and Taylor Boulevards. Plan any street drop or pickup inside those hours.

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 Pleasant Hill 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. The debris type and the fees at the disposal site also shape your total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For most remodels, a dumpster saves money. Self-hauling to Martinez means a disposal fee on each load, an extra fee if the load isn't covered, and a long drive every trip. A dumpster sits in your driveway while you work, and it leaves in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, which leaves space for a coffee table, a couple of chairs, and boxes of clutter. Furniture fills the container well before its weight becomes a concern.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and asbestos out of your Pleasant Hill dumpster. California also bans electronics, tires, and chemically treated wood from the trash. Mattresses and appliances can cost extra, so mention them.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Keeping it on your driveway also avoids the City's fee for a container in the right-of-way. Heavy debris can still push a small container over its weight limit, so a separate load for concrete helps.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since pricing covers the whole job. The weight you load matters more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the included weight and what an extra day costs.
You can load most household and construction debris, such as drywall, lumber, carpet, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and clean soil. Keeping concrete, metal, and clean wood separate makes recycling easier, which matters for projects under the City's recycling ordinance. Your account manager can check any item.
