San Diego · current Miramar fee guide
Miramar disposal charges vary by waste origin, vehicle class, material category, and scale treatment. Confirm the exact current rate from the official City source before travel.
Direct answer
Miramar uses separate fee lines based on waste origin, vehicle or trailer class, material category, tare status, and whether the load is flat-rated or weighed. The official City fee page and current schedule are the source for the exact amount.
The classification and charge can change with the actual load. Miramar’s rules do not establish a universal price for every landfill or transfer station in San Diego County.
Miramar fee categories · verify before travel
City waste means waste originating in the City of San Diego. Material generated elsewhere uses the non-City line. The facility determines the classification.
Tier 1 flat load
| Origin | Refuse | C&D |
|---|---|---|
| City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
| Non-City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
Includes qualifying passenger vehicles, pickups under one-ton payload capacity, and trailers up to 9 feet when the vehicle itself is not loaded.
Tier 2 flat load
| Origin | Refuse | C&D |
|---|---|---|
| City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
| Non-City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
Includes vehicle-and-trailer combinations, loads in both vehicle and trailer, box trucks, larger trucks, and longer trailers.
Standard weighed load
| Origin | Refuse | C&D |
|---|---|---|
| City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
| Non-City waste | Official schedule | Official schedule |
Vehicles without a tare weight on file are charged a flat rate. Ask the facility how the actual vehicle and load will be classified.
This guide intentionally does not reproduce unverified facility prices. Open the current official schedule for general refuse, C&D, and every other applicable fee before travel.
Vehicle class changes the answer
The official schedule defines vehicle tiers. A pickup under one-ton payload can fit Tier 1, but adding a trailer, loading both the vehicle and trailer, using a longer trailer, or arriving in a larger truck can move the load to Tier 2.
Complete self-haul equation
Use actual inputs. A universal self-haul total is not honest without the address, load, vehicle, facility, and number of safe trips.
01
Use the current rate for the actual facility, waste origin, vehicle tier, material category, and scale treatment.
02
Include fuel, mileage, a suitable vehicle or trailer, a sound cover, tiedowns, and any equipment the load truly needs.
03
Count sorting, loading, securing, driving, waiting, unloading, cleanup, and the physical ability required for each trip.
04
Add another trip only when the material cannot travel in one legal, secure, accepted load. Route specialty items separately.
Planning formula
Posted facility fee + travel and equipment + time and labor + additional trips or handling = complete self-haul cost.
Self-haul, dumpster, or loading help?
Do not compare one landfill gate fee with a full-service quote as though they buy the same work. Decide who loads, how long cleanup takes, how many trips are required, and which materials need separate handling.
Self-haul
Facility-specific
Fits accepted material that can travel in one safe, covered load with a suitable vehicle and a confirmed place to unload.
Compare the gate charge with travel, equipment, time, unloading, and every additional trip.
Check official Miramar fees →Self-load dumpster
$560+ starting price
Fits a project that creates debris over time, needs more than one vehicle load, or benefits from one container at the property.
Review size and included weight and days. General-debris overage is $165 per ton; each approved appliance is $75. A separate 3% processing fee applies to all card payments. No extension-day fee is listed. Ask for a written quote before the included period ends; approval depends on dumpster and pickup availability.
Compare published dumpster rates →Loading-help cleanup
Written quote
Fits furniture, bulky items, stairs, carrying distance, disassembly, difficult access, or a deadline when labor matters.
Send wide photos, the complete item list, access details, and every specialty or regulated item.
Review junk-removal cost inputs →Material changes the fee and route
Sort before transport. Mixing material can change the fee, create rejection risk, or send the load to the wrong facility.
Ordinary accepted nonhazardous household cleanup material. Confirm facility acceptance and keep regulated items out.
Drywall, lumber, cabinets, flooring, roofing, and remodel debris can use a separate posted fee category. Confirm the current official rate.
Keep concrete, dirt, asphalt, brick, stone, and tile separate. For a Haul’n Off rental, approved clean heavy material goes in the 10-yard lowboy.
Source-separated green material, fibrous greens, and clean wood use separate processing categories and acceptance rules.
Furniture, mattresses, and appliances can need labor, special handling, or a confirmed receiving path before transport. Haul’n Off must approve appliances in advance; each approved appliance is $75.
Paint, chemicals, liquids, batteries, electronics, propane, medical waste, asbestos, and similar items need current specialty guidance.
Do not guess on specialty items
Paint, chemicals, liquids, batteries, electronics, propane cylinders, medical waste, asbestos-containing material, and other regulated items may require a separate facility or program.

An uncovered or unsecured load may be subject to a facility fee. Confirm the current rule and amount on the official City fee page, use a sound cover, secure loose material, and follow current facility and road-safety rules.

Miramar disposal charges depend on waste origin, vehicle or trailer class, material category, and whether the load is flat-rated or weighed. Check the City of San Diego's current official Miramar fee page and fee schedule for the exact rate immediately before travel; this guide does not publish an unverified facility price.
Miramar's per-ton charges vary by waste origin and material category, including separate general-refuse and C&D lines. Check the current official City fee schedule for the exact per-ton rate and ask the facility how the load will be classified before travel.
A pickup under one-ton payload capacity is listed in Vehicle Tier 1. Vehicles without a tare weight on file are charged a flat rate, while trailer combinations, loads in both the vehicle and trailer, larger vehicles, or a recorded tare can change the rate path. Ask the facility which class applies before leaving.
Possibly. Miramar uses separate fee lines for general refuse and C&D debris, and the current relationship between those rates must be checked in the official City fee schedule. Keep clean heavy material and regulated material separate and confirm acceptance before travel.
An uncovered or unsecured load may be subject to a facility fee. Confirm the current amount and rules on the official City fee page before travel. Cover and secure all material regardless of whether a fee applies.
Not automatically. Compare the facility fee with fuel, mileage, vehicle or trailer access, covering supplies, loading and unloading time, number of trips, material acceptance, and schedule risk. A dumpster can fit a multi-session project; loading-help junk removal can fit bulky items or difficult access. Compare the same complete job details.
Do not assume so. Paint, chemicals, liquids, batteries, electronics, propane cylinders, medical waste, asbestos-containing material, and other regulated items may require separate handling or a different facility. Use the current facility rules and WasteFreeSD before transporting them.
Confirm the facility, hours, waste origin, vehicle or trailer tier, tare treatment, material category, estimated weight, accepted and prohibited items, covering requirements, unloading rules, payment method, and current fee schedule. If the load is large or needs labor, also compare a written dumpster or junk-removal quote.
