Several things decide what a Ridgecrest dumpster costs.
Size sets the starting point. Order too small and you'll need a second container. Order too large and you pay for air.
Weight comes next. Stucco, block walls, and desert rock landscaping are heavy, and they use up your included tonnage quickly. Any weight over the limit is charged as overage.
The landfill's fees count too. Kern County Public Works runs the Ridgecrest Landfill on West Bowman Road, and it lists construction and demolition debris at $95.66 per ton. The landfill only takes waste from inside Kern County.
City hauling rules are the last piece. Ridgecrest runs trash and bin service through a single franchise hauler, which affects who can place a roll-off inside city limits.

Pick a container based on the volume of your debris and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster offers sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a small bathroom remodel, a shed cleanout, or a load of broken concrete from a patio. Heavy debris reaches the weight limit before the space runs out, so it's the right size for masonry and rock.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a kitchen remodel, a full garage cleanout, or new flooring in a few rooms. It gives you extra room at a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a solid choice for cleaning out a whole house or remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for major renovations, additions, and new home builds. It holds large amounts of framing lumber, drywall, and roofing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Use it for commercial construction, demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Your account manager can help you pick the right size once you describe the project.
A dumpster set on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or a fenced job site, typically needs no permit in Ridgecrest. The rules change when a container sits in a City street.
Ridgecrest treats anything placed in the street that blocks free use of it, even for a short time, as an encroachment. That calls for an encroachment permit from the City. The Engineering Division issues these permits and asks for a business license, liability insurance, and a traffic control plan. The City issues them only to state-licensed contractors, utilities, and owner-builders of single-family homes, and it wants 48 hours' notice before work starts.
For questions, call the City of Ridgecrest at 760-499-5000.
Ridgecrest also has an exclusive trash franchise. City rules say only the franchise hauler may collect or haul waste for pay inside city limits, with narrow exceptions for self-haul and contractors hauling their own debris. Your account manager will confirm how this rule applies to your address before you book.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from California's trash bans and from the Ridgecrest Landfill's own list.
California makes it illegal to put hazardous waste in the trash. CalRecycle's list covers every kind of battery, fluorescent tubes, TVs, monitors, computers, microwaves, motor oil, antifreeze, and propane tanks. Tires are banned from the trash too, and treated wood must be handled as hazardous waste.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Asbestos can hide in older roofing, flooring, and siding, so test before a tear-out.
The Ridgecrest Landfill also turns away hot ashes, any kind of liquid, firearms, explosives, and waste from outside Kern County.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Ridgecrest go to the Ridgecrest Landfill at 3301 West Bowman Road, Ridgecrest, CA 93555, run by Kern County Public Works. It takes construction debris, furniture, appliances, green waste, and household trash. It's open Sunday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it closes on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The county's waste line is 661-862-8900.
The landfill charges by weight and posts separate rates for each material on its Kern County Public Works page. Having it close by keeps haul times short for most Ridgecrest jobs.
Your account manager can confirm where your load is going and walk you through the disposal cost before delivery.
3301 West Bowman Road, Ridgecrest, CA 93555
Kern County Public Works landfill; open daily, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., except major holidays.
Most rentals in Ridgecrest can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because of the franchise rule, call a few days ahead so we can confirm service for your address.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
The Ridgecrest Landfill is open seven days a week, so weekend pickups are easier to plan here than in many towns. Holidays are the exception.

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.
In Ridgecrest, dumpsters range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The county landfill charges by the ton, so heavy debris raises the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
For a single light load, the dump may be cheaper, since the county landfill is close by. For a remodel or large cleanout, a dumpster usually saves money and time. You avoid repeated loading, trailer trips, and per-trip charges, and one container carries the whole job.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a table, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space well before you reach the weight allowance.
No hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos. California also bans batteries, electronics, fluorescent tubes, tires, and motor oil from the trash, and treated wood needs special handling. The Ridgecrest Landfill refuses hot ashes and anything from outside Kern County.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, at $399 to $499. Weight still matters. Concrete, block, and rock fill the allowance fast and can lead to overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load is a simple way to control the price.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. The price is set for the job, and weight shapes your bill far more than time. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and extra-ton charges before your container arrives.
Most household and construction debris is legal to load. That includes drywall, lumber, roofing, flooring, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, asphalt, and dirt are accepted at the landfill too, though they're heavy. If you're not sure about something, your account manager can check before you load it.
