What's included in the price

When you rent a dumpster from Clean Green Hauling, your quote covers:

• Delivery to your San Diego County address, which is free
• The container for your rental period
• Pickup and disposal of your load
• An included weight allowance that varies by container size

There's no middleman. Clean Green Hauling is local, veteran-owned, and direct, not a broker. The company that quotes you is the company that drops and picks up the container.

The 5 things that change your dumpster cost

1. Container size

Larger containers cost more than smaller ones and include more weight. Weight included varies by size, so the size you choose shapes your quote. Call for the current price on the size you need.

2. Weight of what you load

This is the biggest variable. Bulky items like furniture and cardboard are light. Tile, roofing, plaster, and wet yard waste are heavy. If your load goes over the included weight, overage is about $185 per ton.

3. Type of material

Clean dirt and clean concrete have their own flat rate for up to 10 yards per load, in a 10-yard rated container only. Ask for the current flat rate. Mixed debris follows standard pricing.

4. Rental length

Tell us how long you need the container when you book, so the quote matches your project. A weekend garage cleanout and a multi-week remodel have different needs.

5. Placement

Driveway placement on private property usually doesn't involve the city. Street or public right-of-way placement may need a city permit or encroachment approval, and any permit fee is set by your city, not by us. See our permit guide.

How to avoid surprise charges

• Pick the right size. If you're between two sizes, choosing the larger size usually prevents a second haul, and a second haul costs more. Use our size guide.
• Know what's heavy. Separate clean concrete or dirt into a flat-rate load when it makes sense.
• Keep prohibited items out. Hazardous waste, paint, batteries, tires, and refrigerant appliances are commonly not accepted. See what can't go in a dumpster.
• Don't overfill. Load level with the top of the container walls.

Pricing across San Diego County

Our starting price is the same whether you're in Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, El Cajon, or Mira Mesa, and delivery is free. Same-day or next-day delivery is often possible, including last-minute requests, when a truck is available. We can't guarantee it, so book early when you can.

What to have ready when you call for a quote

You'll get the most accurate price fastest if you know:

• Your project type, like a remodel, roofing job, cleanout, or concrete tear-out
• The main materials, especially anything heavy like tile, shingles, dirt, or concrete
• The size you think you need, or the scope, so we can suggest one
• Your address area and placement, such as a driveway or the street
• Your timeline, including your delivery date and how long you need the container

Why a direct local company matters for price

Brokers often take your order and pass it to another hauler, which adds a layer between you and the truck. Booking direct means you get a clear quote from the company doing the work, and a real person at 858-999-5477 who can answer pricing questions. LEED recycling certificates are available when your project needs them.
