Every question we get asked on the phone, answered in one place. Pricing, sizes, permits, delivery timing and what actually fits in a container, organized so you can find the one thing you need without reading the whole page.
What each size costs, what is already included, and when a number can change.
Six sizes span $465 to $900, each with the disposal weight built in. A 10 yard is $465, a 15 is $540, a 20 is $615, a 30 is $765 and a 40 is $900. Clean dirt or concrete run separately at a flat $650 or $550, with no scale involved at all.
Only the overage rate if a load runs past its included tonnage, billed at $165 per ton straight off the scale ticket. There is no delivery fee, no fuel surcharge, and no charge just to get a quote.
No deposit holds your date. Payment is collected after the haul is complete, once the actual weight is known, not before.
Never within the daily service area. A 20 yard costs the same in Concord as it does in Oakland. Only addresses outside the regular routes get a distance-adjusted quote, and that number is always given upfront.
How to translate a job into a container size without guessing.
Tell us the job, not the yardage, and we will translate it. A single room or garage points to a 10 or 15, a full house cleanout to a 20, and demolition or a big remodel to a 30 or 40.
Yes, right up until the truck is loaded for delivery. Call and describe what changed, and the size on the confirmation updates with it.
Mostly wall height, not footprint. The 10 and 15 share the same 12 foot length but differ by 18 inches of wall, which is why dense debris and bulky debris need different advice even at similar dimensions.
How fast a container can actually arrive, and what delivery day looks like.
Call before 2PM on a weekday and it is usually on the ground that same afternoon. After the cutoff, you are first out on the next business day rather than squeezed in.
Not on the standard route, but a weekend drop can be arranged case by case if the schedule allows. Ask when you call rather than assuming either way.
No. Tell us where to place it and the driver sets it there without you present, then sends a text the moment it is down.
Yes, within reason. The driver sets it where you point as long as the truck has a straight approach to back in and enough overhead room to lift the arm.
How long you keep it, and what happens if the job runs long or short.
Seven days comes standard with every price. Need more or less? Rentals run anywhere from 1 to 21 days if you name the window when you book.
Call before the scheduled pickup and we will extend it. There is no daily penalty as long as it stays inside the term you agree to.
Yes, and the price does not change either way. The rate is set by size and weight, not by how many of the seven days you actually use.
What is accepted, what is refused, and what changes the price.
Anything hazardous: paint, solvents, batteries of any kind, tires, asbestos, and appliances still holding refrigerant. Wet dirt is also refused at the facility.
General household and construction debris, yes. Flat rate loads are the exception: mixing anything else into a dirt or concrete container converts the whole load to standard weighed pricing.
Mattresses without issue. Appliances too, though refrigerators and air conditioners need the refrigerant removed first, and both carry a facility fee stated before the truck leaves the yard.
Call us before the truck picks it up if you can. If it is already loaded, the facility flags it at the gate, and removing it becomes the customer’s responsibility before the load can process.
Where a container can legally sit, and what the truck needs to place it.
No, never, for a container that stays on your own driveway or lot. Only street placement can require a permit, and that varies by city.
Rarely, but ask for boards under the rails if the surface is stamped, sealed, or freshly poured. It costs nothing, and the driver carries them on every truck.
Plan on roughly 60 feet of straight approach and 22 feet of clearance overhead. Carports and low tree branches are the more common surprise, not the driveway itself.
Which cities are on the daily route, and how the rest get covered.
Contra Costa and Alameda counties every single day, dispatched from the yard in Concord. Santa Clara, Solano, Napa, Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco are covered too, just on scheduled dates instead of daily.
Give us the ZIP on the call and you will get a direct yes or no, not a guess. The full list of daily cities is on the areas we serve page.
Not inside the daily service map. Distance only affects timing there, never the price. Addresses outside that map get a distance-based quote instead.
How to actually get a container scheduled, and who you are dealing with.
Call the number directly, or text a photo of what is coming out. Either way you get a size, a price and a delivery window before you hang up.
Yes, and every load is hauled to a licensed disposal or recycling facility, sorted according to that city’s rules.
Call and we will arrange a swap: the full one leaves, an empty one takes its place, usually on the same visit.
The same office that booked you, at the same number, during business hours Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM.
Short answer: prices run $465 to $900 across seven listings with the disposal weight included, same-day delivery is available on weekday calls before 2PM, rentals run 7 days standard and up to 21 on request, and a container on your own property never needs a permit. Every question below traces back to how the yard in Concord actually runs, not a script.
BBP Dumpster answers the same handful of questions on the phone every day, and this page collects those answers in one place rather than scattering them across a dozen product pages. Prices, sizes, permits, delivery timing and what actually fits in a container are covered here in a format built to be scanned, not read start to finish.
These are the baseline answers for the company as a whole. A page built around one specific size or one specific city sometimes states a more precise number for that narrower situation, like a particular street width or a particular container dimension, and that page wins when the two disagree, simply because it was written for that exact scenario. Start here for the general picture, then check the dumpster sizes page or your city’s page for anything specific to your job.
Nothing here is guesswork pulled from a script. Every answer traces back to how the yard on Clayton Rd actually operates day to day: what the scale ticket says, what the driver tells dispatch about a tight driveway, what a city public works office actually requires before a truck rolls a container onto a curb.
Rules that come from outside the company, like what counts as hazardous waste or how construction debris gets diverted from a landfill, follow the standards set by CalRecycle, the state agency responsible for waste and recycling policy in California.
Prices and permit rules do not move often, but they are not frozen either. When the tonnage overage rate or a city’s permitting process changes, this page gets updated the same week, not on an annual review cycle. If a number here ever looks stale compared to what you hear on the phone, the phone call is correct and this page is due for an update.
A question not covered here almost always has an answer, just not one that fits neatly into a short format. Call (925) 940-9906 and describe the situation, and the person answering can give a specific number rather than a general rule that might not apply to your case. See the full range of containers on dumpster sizes, or everything we haul on the services page.
Skip the search and just ask. The person who answers can look at your job specifically instead of guessing from a general rule.
4918 Clayton Rd, Concord, CA 94521. Mon to Fri, 8AM to 5PM.
