Frequently Asked Questions

Most rentals typically run $350 to $750, depending on the size, the material, the address, how long you keep it and the weight. You get a flat rate on the phone covering delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental and the included tonnage — 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30, 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over is charged per ton at the disposal rate. The cost guide breaks it down.

Yes. Delivery, pickup, the rental period and disposal up to the included weight are all in the one flat price. No fuel surcharge, no surprise fees.

Three things: going over the included weight (per ton at the disposal rate — $55 a ton at the City of Phoenix transfer stations, $55.58 at the Glendale landfill in 2026), keeping the container past the rental window, and banned items found in the load. We explain all three on the first call so there is nothing to find later.

Not more per ton — but concrete, rock, dirt and tile use up the included tonnage fast, and a concrete or clay tile roof is far heavier than shingle. So we size heavy loads differently (a 10 yard loaded level, or split loads) and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Most major credit and debit cards. Payment is usually taken when the rental is scheduled, to hold your delivery slot. Repeat commercial clients can ask about ongoing service plans.

On your own driveway or private property in Phoenix, we found no City permit for the container. In a street, lane or sidewalk, Street Transportation's Right-of-Way Management Office (602-262-6235, RMP@phoenix.gov) issues a TRACS restriction permit, and the City Code lists no application fee for a temporary right-of-way use permit. Other cities differ — Scottsdale names roll-off dumpsters in its Permit to Work in the Right-of-Way, Chandler charges $315 for a traffic control permit, Paradise Valley wants a $100 permit and a $2,000 refundable bond. The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

In Phoenix, under a TRACS restriction permit from Street Transportation. The office asks for 48 hours to process, and the City Code says two business days' notice for a partial or sidewalk restriction and three for a full one. On a sidewalk, a 36-inch accessible path has to stay open. Allow days, not hours. Tell us when you book and we line the delivery up with it.

Because most of them do. Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Glendale, Paradise Valley and Buckeye require a city hauler permit or licence; Peoria, Apache Junction, Cave Creek and Fountain Hills want a business licence; Avondale counts the Maricopa County hauler permit. Phoenix itself has no city hauler licence or franchise. We quote the section on each page and tell you where your job stands.

Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Gilbert and Fountain Hills each reserve household trash collection to the city or its contractor. Whether that covers a temporary roll-off at a house for a remodel or cleanout is not spelled out in their codes. We tell you straight on the phone where your job stands.

It can. Many Valley neighborhoods have an HOA, and some limit how long a container can sit in a driveway or where it can go. We do not know your HOA's rules — check them before you book.

Ask for boards under the rails and the driver puts them down. He will tell you before delivery if a surface needs more than that.

A straight, level run of about 60 feet and 25 feet of overhead clearance. Carports, palm fronds, tree branches and power lines are the usual problem.

Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Glendale; Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Apache Junction and Fountain Hills in the East Valley; Peoria, Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye and Cave Creek to the west and north — each with its own page. The complete Phoenix guide pulls it together.

At 1575 E Jackson St, Phoenix, AZ 85034, just east of downtown Phoenix.

Mostly the timing. Fountain Hills, Surprise, Cave Creek, Apache Junction, Queen Creek and Buckeye are 30 to 38 miles from the yard and more often next morning than same-day. Price depends partly on the delivery address, and we say any difference up front.

Yes — most Valley cities license haulers, and a few keep household trash for themselves. Each town page says what that city's code says, and we tell you where your job stands when you call.
