At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across San Leandro, California, and the surrounding Alameda County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Post-war homes in Broadmoor and Estudillo are being opened up and modernized, the industrial belt near Doolittle Drive keeps turning over tenants, and construction along the East 14th Street corridor gives contractors a steady need for containers.
What you pay reflects the container size, the material you load, the days you keep it, and what the receiving facility charges. San Leandro also sets its own rules about recycling job site debris and about who may place a container, so both are covered below.

The prices below reflect average ranges for a standard five-day rental period. Your account manager will confirm tonnage, overage rates, and other project specifics during your free, custom quote.
| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size drives the base figure, and the right call is usually the larger of the two you're weighing up. A second container costs far more than the step up would have.
Weight fills in the rest. Stucco, roof tile, and old plaster are dense enough to reach a container's allowance while it still looks half empty, and extra tonnage bills separately.
Sorting affects cost here more than in most cities. A clean load of concrete or clean wood is cheaper to process than a mixed load, because mixed debris has to be pulled apart at a sorting facility before anything gets landfilled.
The city's own rules add structure. San Leandro requires contractors to recycle all of their asphalt and concrete and half of everything else on projects valued at $100,000 or more, with receipts uploaded along the way. That paperwork shapes where a load can go, and your account manager keeps it in view when quoting.

Pick for volume, then check the weight and the space. We run five sizes in San Leandro.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is short and easy to load over the side. It's the right call for concrete, brick, and tile, and it fits driveways on the older, narrower lots west of the freeway.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleared to the walls, a bathroom stripped down, or a single roof slope, without jumping to a full-size container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most requested size for San Leandro homes. It handles a whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath project, or flooring pulled from the main level.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for a full renovation, a new build, or a commercial tenant improvement where debris comes out steadily over a week or more.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and mostly goes to industrial sites and demolition crews with the yard space to take it.
Still deciding? Your account manager will size it with you once they know the job and the access.
A container on private property, like your driveway or a business lot, generally doesn't need city paperwork. Anything reaching into the street, sidewalk, or public right-of-way does.
San Leandro requires an encroachment permit for all work occurring within the public right-of-way. The requirements are specific: contractors and subcontractors need a current state contractor license and a San Leandro business license on file, they have to meet the city's insurance requirements and upload certificates, and a traffic or pedestrian control plan comes with the application.
Paper applications aren't accepted over the counter anymore. Everything goes through the city's online permit system, and every permit carries a small technology fee on top of the published fee schedule.
Public Works Engineering and Transportation is at 835 E 14th Street and answers at 510-577-3428 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
One more thing that is specific to this city. San Leandro is a franchise city: it is split into service areas, each served by an exclusive franchised hauler, and city rules say nobody else may collect waste or place a collection container within city limits. Contractors removing debris from their own job site, and property owners self-hauling their own material, are treated differently. Your account manager will confirm how that reads at your address before we arrange anything.
Standard construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from California law and from what the sorting facilities will take.
California treats several everyday items as universal waste, which is generally barred from landfills. That covers fluorescent tubes and lamps, batteries, and mercury-containing switches and thermostats. Older San Leandro houses and shop buildings carry plenty of all three.
Asbestos is handled separately. The state notes that even non-hazardous asbestos is generally refused at landfills, and the city requires contaminated debris to be declared for disposal with a letter from the receiving site confirming it can't be recycled.
Hazardous material is out of every container: paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, and anything pressurized.
Lead paint from a pre-1978 remodel deserves particular care. Ask your account manager before any of it goes in, and they'll help you route it correctly.
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.
Mixed debris from a San Leandro job goes to a sorting facility before anything is buried. The nearest is the transfer station on Davis Street here in San Leandro; others sit in Oakland, Hayward, Fremont, and Livermore. Cardboard, metal, wood, and clean concrete come out of the load there, which is what lets a project meet the city's diversion requirement.
Keeping materials apart pays off. Clean concrete and asphalt, clean wood, and scrap metal each cost less to process than the same weight mixed together, so if you have the room for two containers it is usually worth it.
Household chemicals have a public home nearby. The Hayward Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 2091 W Winton Ave takes paint, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, and old chemicals free from Alameda County residents, with no appointment. It's open Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Your account manager will confirm which facility your container is going to and what it will mean for your diversion paperwork before delivery.
2091 W Winton Ave, Hayward, CA 94545
Alameda County site, free for county residents with no appointment. Open Thursday and Friday 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Most San Leandro orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A street placement runs longer, because the encroachment permit has to be approved first, and booking early tends to price better anyway.
Five things worth sorting before you call:
Remember that the city's permit counter is closed Fridays and shuts for lunch. Factor that into your week when a placement question needs a person on the phone.

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.
A 10-yard container in San Leandro runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a standard five-day rental. Debris weight and the processing charge at the sorting facility set the rest. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For one small pickup load, self-hauling can work. Beyond that, a container wins. Each trip means a minimum charge at the scale, fuel, and a vehicle you load twice, and San Leandro projects often need a diversion receipt anyway, which a container makes far simpler to produce.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture takes up space rather than weight, so you'll fill the walls long before the load gets heavy.
Leave out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and pressurized cylinders. California also keeps fluorescent tubes, batteries, and mercury switches out of landfills as universal waste. Asbestos and lead-contaminated debris need separate handling and documentation, not a standard container.
Our 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest price on the list. Cheapest to rent isn't always cheapest overall, though. Filling a small container with concrete or tile can pass its weight allowance and add charges, so heavy material often belongs in its own clean load.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because containers are priced by the job rather than the calendar. Weight is the real variable on your invoice. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs before delivery day.
Most of a San Leandro project fits: lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, asphalt, and brick are accepted too, and a separate clean load is both cheaper and better for your diversion numbers. Check unusual items first.
