At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across San Bruno, California, and the nearby San Mateo County cities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older Peninsula homes getting new kitchens and baths, garage and estate cleanouts, and steady construction work near El Camino Real and US-101 create a lot of debris that needs to go somewhere.
The price you pay reflects the container size, the weight and type of debris, the length of your rental, and the disposal fees where the load is dropped. We'll also walk you through San Bruno's franchise rule for debris boxes, the City's street permit, and the items California keeps out of the trash.

Here's what moves the cost of a dumpster in San Bruno.
Size sets the starting point. A bigger container rents for more, but a container that's too small can lead to overage charges or a second trip.
Weight is next. Plaster, tile, stucco, and concrete add up quickly, while furniture and boxes fill space without much weight. Appliances and mattresses are often priced by the piece, so list them when you call.
Placement can add a City fee. Peninsula driveways are short, so some containers end up at the curb. The City's Master Fee Schedule lists a debris bin fee of $93.00 per week for a container parked on a street, and a metered space is also charged the full day's rate while the permit runs.
The local franchise matters most of all. San Bruno handles garbage and recycling service, debris boxes included, through one exclusive franchise. Your account manager will check how that rule applies to your address before anything is booked.

Start with how much you're throwing out and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards, and measuring your drop spot first helps on narrow Peninsula lots.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a single room of junk, or a small patio tear-out. It's the right call for concrete, tile, or brick, which get heavy long before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a two-car garage cleanout, new flooring throughout a few rooms, or a modest roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for emptying a whole house or tackling a kitchen and bath at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger remodels, additions, and new construction with plenty of lumber and drywall.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we offer. It works best for commercial projects and major demolition on sites with room for it.
Tell your account manager what the job involves, and they'll help you land on the right size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway, doesn't need a City permit in San Bruno. Once it sits in the street, a parking space, or on the sidewalk, you're in the public right-of-way, and the City gets involved.
San Bruno's Permits page says an encroachment permit is needed for any work in the public right-of-way. That area includes the sidewalk, curb and gutter, planting strip, driveway cut, and the street. The City also charges a weekly parking space fee for a debris bin that takes up a space.
Applications go through the City's online permit portal, MyGovernmentOnline. The City doesn't post a review time, so leave a few extra days before your delivery date.
For questions, call the Administration and Engineering Division at 650-616-7065. Your account manager can help you find the right City contact and confirm what applies to your spot.
Most household junk and remodel debris can go in your dumpster. California's rules on hazardous waste set most of the limits.
CalRecycle keeps a long list of items banned from the trash. It covers fluorescent tubes and every kind of battery, latex and oil-based paint, solvents like paint thinner, antifreeze, motor oil and filters, and tires. Asbestos, treated wood, propane tanks, and electronics are on the list too.
The City repeats the rule. It says items like electronics, fluorescent bulbs, paints, pesticides, cleaning products, and old medications are illegal to put in the garbage. Liquids and fuel don't belong in a dumpster either.
San Bruno residents with a photo ID can drop off paint, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, car batteries, household batteries, and fluorescent tubes at the San Bruno Transfer Station. Pull those items out before you load.
If you're unsure about any item, ask 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.
San Bruno's solid waste page says the City's franchise partner provides both collection and disposal service for homes and businesses. The City doesn't publish the landfill where that waste ends up.
Inside the city, the San Bruno Transfer Station at 101 Tanforan Avenue is a state-permitted site. For the public, it takes household hazardous waste only, from San Bruno residents with a photo ID. It isn't a place to drop off remodel debris.
Because of the franchise, where a San Bruno load goes depends on who is allowed to haul it. Your account manager will confirm how the franchise rule applies, where the debris will be taken, and what disposal fees to expect before delivery.
Where service is available, most rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. In San Bruno, add time up front to confirm the franchise rule and any street permit.
Keep these tips in mind:
The City's street fee is charged by the week, so a container parked at the curb costs the same for two days as for seven. Filling it quickly and calling for pickup keeps the permit to a single week.

Our dumpster rentals range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on five days. Your total also depends on debris weight, disposal fees, and any City street fee. In San Bruno, your account manager first confirms how the local franchise rule applies.
A dumpster is usually cheaper once your project needs more than a couple of trips. Each self-haul run means a minimum disposal charge, gas, and time in Peninsula traffic. With a container, you load at your own pace and the debris leaves in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly 20 percent of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and flattened boxes. Furniture fills space fast, but it rarely comes close to the weight limit.
California bans batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, asbestos, treated wood, and electronics from the trash. Keep liquids, fuel, and propane tanks out as well. San Bruno residents can take paint, oil, and batteries to the transfer station on Tanforan Avenue.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Weight still drives your final bill, so a small container full of tile or concrete can cost more than you'd expect. Keeping heavy material separate from lighter junk is an easy way to save.
A three-day rental normally costs about the same as a five-day rental, since the price covers the whole job rather than each day. If the container sits on a City street, the weekly permit fee applies either way. Your account manager can explain the included weight and overage rate.
Most construction and cleanout debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, fixtures, furniture, and yard waste. Clean concrete and dirt can go in too, though they're heavy and often cost less to dispose of on their own. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
