Seven flat prices, the disposal weight already built in, and no fee that shows up after the fact. Here is exactly what each size costs, what happens if a load runs heavy, and a real example of the math worked out in full.
Seven containers, seven flat prices, each with the disposal weight already inside the number.
| Size | Price | Weight included | Overage applies | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $465 | 1 ton | Over 1 ton, at $165/ton | Dense debris: tile, concrete-adjacent, small garage jobs |
| 15 yard | $540 | 1.5 tons | Over 1.5 tons, at $165/ton | A single room, mid-size garage clear-out |
| 20 yard | $615 | 2 tons | Over 2 tons, at $165/ton | The size most jobs actually book |
| 30 yard | $765 | 3 tons | Over 3 tons, at $165/ton | Bulky debris, whole-house cleanouts, roofing |
| 40 yard | $900 | 4 tons | Over 4 tons, at $165/ton | Commercial jobs, large demolition |
| 10 yard, clean dirt only | $650 | No weight limit | Never, this size has no overage | Single-material dirt only |
| 10 yard, concrete only | $550 | No weight limit | Never, this size has no overage | Single-material concrete only |
No surprise line items, but a few things are worth knowing before you book.
Numbers from an actual job type, not a hypothetical best case.
A gutted bathroom, tile floor and tub included, is a useful case because it shows exactly where the math can go either way. Booked as a 15 yard at $540 with 1.5 tons included, that same job typically comes back from the scale around 1.8 tons once the tile and old tub are loaded.
The extra 0.3 tons is billed at $165 per ton, adding roughly $49.50 to the invoice. Total cost: about $589.50, still under the price of booking a 20 yard directly, which runs $615 with 2 tons included and margin to spare.
That comparison is the entire logic behind sizing up when a job is borderline. A 20 yard would have cost $25.50 more than the 15-yard-plus-overage total in this example, but it removes any chance of a second overage charge if the tile ran even a little heavier than expected.
Every scenario runs this same math: base price, plus overage only if the scale ticket says so, with nothing else added.
The mechanics behind a flat rate that actually stays flat.
There is no fuel surcharge added at delivery, no environmental fee tacked onto the invoice, and no charge just to get a number over the phone. The price given on the first call is the number on the final invoice, with the single exception of a confirmed weight overage.
That structure only works because every load actually crosses a scale. The tonnage on your invoice is not an estimate made by looking at a full container; it is a number generated by the facility itself, available to review the same way a grocery receipt is.
Short answer: seven listings run from $465 to $900 with the disposal weight built into every price, including two flat rate options with no weight limit at all. Going over the included tonnage adds $165 per ton, calculated from the scale ticket. There is no delivery fee, no fuel surcharge, and the price never changes by city inside the daily service area.
The seven prices on this page are the same seven prices quoted on every phone call, every city page, and every size page across the site. Nothing here is a promotional rate or a starting price that climbs once you call; it is the actual number the invoice lands on for a load that stays within its included tonnage.
Distance from the yard changes delivery timing, never the price itself, inside the daily service area covering Contra Costa and Alameda counties. An address outside that map gets a distance-adjusted quote stated plainly before booking, not folded quietly into a higher base rate. See the full coverage map for what counts as daily service.
The overage rate exists for one reason: heavier loads cost more to haul and dispose of, and passing that specific cost through, calculated from a real scale ticket, is more honest than raising every price to cover the rare job that runs unusually heavy. Disposal itself follows the standards CalRecycle sets for waste diversion across California.
Every other price on this page depends on a scale ticket, but the two flat rate listings do not, because dirt and concrete are single materials routed to a specific recycling facility rather than a general landfill. That routing is fixed before the truck ever leaves the yard, which removes the variable that overage pricing exists to cover in the first place.
Full dimensions, garbage bag equivalents and truck load comparisons for all seven containers are on the dumpster sizes page. If the job is closer to a service than a straightforward haul, like roofing or pool demolition, the services page breaks down pricing by job type instead of by container.
