Several things shape what a dumpster costs in San Juan.
Size is the obvious one. A bigger container costs more, but choosing one that's too small can lead to overage charges or a second haul.
Weight matters even more here. Disposal in the Valley is charged by the ton, so concrete, stucco, tile, and dirt run up the bill much faster than furniture or cardboard of the same volume.
Local fees set the backdrop. The City of San Juan runs its own roll-off container service, and its rate schedule lists a disposal fee of $35 per ton for the first 14 tons and $45 per ton after that, plus $200 for each pickup. Those are the City's own charges for its containers, not our prices, but they show how much weight drives disposal costs in town.
City rules can also play a part. San Juan is exclusively responsible for garbage collection inside the city limits, and building projects need a waste disposal plan. Your account manager will confirm how those rules apply to your job before you book.

The right size depends on how much you're tossing and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom update, a single-room cleanout, or a load of brush from the yard. It's also the best fit for concrete, block, or dirt, because heavy material hits the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or storage room cleanout, a flooring removal, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that spans a few rooms. Many San Juan homeowners start with this size.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is made for larger renovations, new home builds, and demolition that produces a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's for commercial construction, large teardowns, and cleanouts of stores, shops, or warehouses.
Give your account manager a quick rundown of the job, and they'll recommend the size that fits.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or your job site, San Juan doesn't list a separate container permit. The rules are stricter for the street. City code makes it unlawful to place building materials, furniture, appliances, or other debris on a street, sidewalk, alley, gutter, or right-of-way unless the City has allowed it.
Building work brings its own rule. Under San Juan's building waste regulations, every building, remodeling, or demolition permit application needs a Waste Disposal Plan. The building inspector can require a metal container at the job site and can collect a cash bond of $100 per 1,000 square feet of work. The City refunds 90% of the bond once you show the debris went to a landfill, and the waste must be removed within 14 days after the work is finished.
The City also has a Roll Off Containers Deposit Form on its permits and forms page for its own containers. For questions about permits or placement, call San Juan City Hall at 956-223-2200. The office is at 512 S. Nebraska Ave.
Because the City handles garbage collection itself, your account manager will check how San Juan's rules apply to your project and help you reach the right City contact before delivery.
Most construction and cleanout debris can go in your container. Texas rules and the local disposal site decide what can't.
Texas doesn't let whole tires go into a landfill as they are. They have to be split, quartered, or shredded first, and landfills usually charge extra for them. Lead-acid batteries, like car batteries, can't be thrown away in Texas at all. Stores that sell them have to take used ones back for recycling.
The City's Transfer Site sets its own limits. It won't take household garbage, recyclables, electronics, or hazardous waste such as paint, pesticides, and chemicals. It takes up to six tires per visit, and each must be no more than 25 inches across.
Beyond that, leave liquids, solvents, fuel, pressurized tanks, and asbestos out of a standard dumpster. Mention tires and appliances when you book.
If you're not sure about something, ask your account manager before you toss it.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
The City runs the San Juan Transfer Site at the corner of South San Antonio Avenue and Hall Acres Road, at 317 W. Hall Acres Rd, San Juan, TX 78589. It's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon. The site's phone number is 956-223-2340.
According to the City's sanitation page, the site takes concrete, plaster, lumber, dirt, rocks, and other construction and demolition debris, along with auto parts and a limited number of tires. The City's recycling center has also moved to the same address.
This is a transfer site, not a landfill. Debris is gathered there and then trucked on for final disposal. A load of household trash can't go there, so keep kitchen garbage in your City cart.
Where a rented container ends up depends on what's inside it and the rules that apply to your job. Your account manager will confirm the destination and walk you through the fees before delivery.
317 W. Hall Acres Rd, San Juan, TX 78589
Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.
Most San Juan rentals can be arranged 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 sort out City rules and prepare the drop spot.
These tips help keep things on track:
Keep the Transfer Site's hours in mind. It closes at noon on Saturday and stays closed Sunday, so a container filled over the weekend may not move until Monday.

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.
Prime Dumpster rentals in San Juan 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. Debris weight and local disposal fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
For a project bigger than a truckload or two, a dumpster usually saves time and money. Hauling it yourself means loading, driving, and unloading again and again, and the Transfer Site closes at noon on Saturday. A dumpster sits in your driveway until you're done, and we haul it away in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for a mattress, a table and chairs, and several bags of clutter. Furniture takes up space without much weight, so you'll run out of room before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster in San Juan. Texas also bans throwing away lead-acid batteries and keeps whole tires out of landfills. Electronics and household garbage aren't accepted at the City's Transfer Site, so set them aside.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Keep in mind that disposal is charged by weight, so a small container packed with concrete or tile can go over its allowance fast. Keeping heavy debris in its own load often costs less overall.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job instead of the day, and the weight of your debris has a bigger effect on the bill than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage and extra-day charges.
Most construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, furniture, cardboard, and general clutter. Concrete, dirt, and rock are accepted too, but they're heavy, so they're best kept in a separate or smaller container. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
