Cost drivers
See what changes the project total
01 · Volume
Choose enough space for one safe load.
A smaller starting rate can lose its advantage if the project needs a second container or another haul. Estimate the debris volume before selecting a size.
02 · Weight
A container can reach its allowance before it looks full.
General-debris containers include one to three tons. Weight above that allowance is published at $165 per ton.
03 · Material
Dense clean material needs review.
Concrete, dirt, asphalt, brick, stone, and tile must be identified and kept separate. An approved clean heavy-material load may use the 10 yard lowboy; the written quote controls what is approved. The general-debris calculator does not price these materials.
04 · Placement
Access and set-down conditions belong in the quote.
Gates, slopes, soft surfaces, alleys, overhead obstructions, street placement, and local permission can change the delivery plan.

Dumpster rental cost FAQ
How much does a dumpster rental cost in San Diego?
Haul'n Off publishes starting rates of $560 for 15 yards, $675 for 20 yards, $900 for 30 yards, and $975 for 40 yards. The 10 yard lowboy for clean heavy material starts at $771. The written project quote depends on address, material, size, included weight and days, placement, access, permits, and applicable conditions. A separate 3% processing fee applies to all card payments. Approved appliances cost $75 per appliance and require approval before loading.
What does the dumpster cost calculator include?
The calculator uses the selected starting price and estimated general-debris weight above the included allowance at $165 per ton. It does not add the separate 3% card-payment fee, the $75 approved-appliance fee, or any extra time that must be priced in writing. The result is a starting estimate, not a quote or final invoice.
What is included with each general-debris dumpster size?
The 15 yard includes one ton and one day, the 20 yard includes two tons and one day, and the 30 and 40 yard dumpsters include three tons and seven days. The 3% fee on card payments and any $75 approved-appliance fee remain separate from the starting prices.
How does estimated weight affect the calculator?
For a general-debris size, the calculator subtracts the listed included tons from the total weight entered and applies $165 per ton only to the positive difference. A blank weight means overage was not estimated. Actual scale weight and the written terms control.
What if the project needs more time?
Each extra rental day is $95. Extra time must be priced and confirmed in writing before the included rental period ends; extensions remain subject to availability and delivery and pickup scheduling.
Why does the lowboy not use the per-ton calculator?
The 10 yard lowboy is for reviewed clean heavy-material loads. Tell us the exact material before booking; the written quote controls what is approved. The calculator does not apply a per-ton estimate to the lowboy. Material, moisture, weight, safe fill level, separation, and disposal acceptance must be checked before delivery.
Can placement, access, or a permit change the final quote?
Yes. A private driveway or jobsite is usually simpler than a street, sidewalk, alley, or other public right-of-way. Gates, slopes, soft surfaces, tight turns, overhead obstructions, local permission, and delivery and pickup conditions should be reviewed before delivery.
What should I send for a written dumpster rental quote?
Send the delivery address and ZIP, project type, every material, estimated volume and likely weight, preferred size or sizing question, delivery date, rental window, pickup deadline, placement and access photos, and any permit, HOA, parking, tenant, or business-hour constraint.
