Roll-off dumpster rental in Tempe
Approx. 9 road miles east of the yard, around 16 minutes — I-10 east, then University Drive into town.
Tempe is a short run down I-10 and University Drive, about 16 minutes from the yard, and reliably same-day when you call before noon. It is a city of 190,571 by the Census Bureau's July 2025 estimate, and only 42.3% of homes are owner-occupied — so a lot of the work is rental and apartment turnovers alongside the owner remodels.
Tempe is strict about who hauls. City Code 28-21 says only contractors licensed by the City may collect solid waste in Tempe, and containers from companies without a permit may not be placed in the city at all. We explain that plainly below.
Local knowledge
Getting our bearings in Tempe
Knowing a city properly is the difference between covering it and showing up with the right box.
- A renter-majority city — 42.3% owner-occupied, the lowest of the East Valley cities we cover, with half of adults 25 and over holding a bachelor's degree (Census, 2020–2024).
- Bulk and green pickup every other month — out by 6 am Monday of collection week, no earlier than 10 days before, and capped at 10 cubic yards (code 28-52).
- The City rents its own roll-offs — 10, 15, 25 and 40 yards at $323.74 a haul plus disposal ($31.95 a ton to landfill), ordered through Tempe 311 on 480-350-4311.
- Sky Harbor Regional Transfer Station at 2425 S 40th St in Phoenix is the City's listed drop-off — Monday to Friday 6 am to 5 pm, Saturday 6 am to 2 pm, with one free trip a month for Tempe residents and the gate rate for contractors.
- Median owner home value $455,400 and median household income $79,663 (Census, 2020–2024).

What comes out of Tempe properties
Apartment and rental turnovers in 10s and 15s, kitchens, baths and flooring in 15s and 20s, and full cleanouts in 20s and 30s. The City carts will not take lumber, shingles, brick, rock, concrete, dirt, sod or sand, and the City sends residents with that material to its roll-off service or the transfer station. Bulk day comes every other month and stops at 10 cubic yards — fine for a couch, not for a remodel.

Sizes
Choosing a container size in Tempe
Weight is what usually decides the size, not how much room the pile takes up.

| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 3 pickup truck loads | 1–2 tons | Small kitchen and bath remodels, concrete, tile, rock and dirt loaded level, a garage or one room. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | about 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 4–5 pickup truck loads | 2–3 tons | Kitchen remodels, flooring and carpet tear-outs, fence and deck removal, landscaping refreshes, one big room or two small ones. |

Permits, placement and who may haul in Tempe
Who may haul — the rule that matters: City Code 28-21(a) says "only contractors licensed by the City may collect solid waste within Tempe boundaries." The licence is $1,000 per vehicle a year, or 2% of gross Tempe receipts if that is more, running July 1 to June 30. Under 28-21(e) every container must carry the company name and phone, containers of non-permitted companies may not be placed in the city, and the City may impound unidentified ones. Open-top roll-offs must be covered on the road. We say this plainly: the City licenses haulers, so ask us to confirm our Tempe licence before you book.
Street or alley placement: code 29-21 bars obstructing any street, alley or right-of-way; temporary obstructions for construction can be allowed in writing by the City Engineer where there would otherwise be undue hardship. No dumpster-specific permit or fee was found. The driveway is the answer; if there is genuinely nowhere else, we will talk to the City first.

How it works
Booking a dumpster in Tempe
Booking a container here takes one phone call and about five minutes.
- 1
Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask what you are clearing, where the container needs to sit, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us. No forms, no waiting on an email.
- 2
We size it and quote it flat
You get one number covering delivery, the 7-day rental, pickup, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so. If it is concrete, rock or a tile roof, we say up front that weight decides the size.
- 3
Delivered where you want it
The driver checks the spot and sets the container square on the driveway, lot or job site, with boards under the rails if you want them. Same-day in Phoenix if you called before noon, depending on availability.
- 4
Load at your own pace
Keep it level with the top rail and keep the banned items out — tires, car batteries, oil, paint, chemicals, fridges with the refrigerant still in them, and anything hot. Need a swap mid-job or an early pickup? One call and we are on it.
- 5
We haul it and dispose of it right
The load goes out tarped to a licensed transfer station or landfill, with metal, concrete and clean green waste recycled where the facility takes them. You get your driveway back the way you left it.

Local answers
Dumpster rental in Tempe — common questions
Is Tempe same-day?
Usually, yes — it is about 16 minutes from the yard. Call (602) 806-8650 before noon.
Does Tempe restrict who can supply a roll-off?
Yes. City Code 28-21 allows only City-licensed haulers ($1,000 a truck a year) and says containers from non-permitted companies may not be placed in Tempe. Ask us to confirm our licence when you book.
Can a dumpster sit in the street in Tempe?
Only with written permission from the City Engineer for construction purposes. The driveway needs no permit.
Can Tempe bulk pickup take my remodel debris?
The trash carts exclude lumber, shingles, brick, rock, concrete and dirt, and bulk comes every other month with a 10-yard cap. The City itself points that material to a roll-off or the transfer station — a container takes it this week.

Every city and town we cover
We run roll-off containers out of the Jackson Street yard to every city and town below. Phoenix and the close-in cities are usually same-day; the edges of the Valley are often next-day. Most cities license the haulers that work inside their limits, and a few keep household trash for themselves — each page says so plainly. If your town is not listed, call anyway.
