HomeGot Trash??
Do you find yourself in need of big trash disposal?
The Refuse Division has great options for you! We offer a Bulky Item Drop-Off Site for our residential customers and for those even bigger projects we offer a Roll-Off Container service.
Roll-Off Container Service
For construction debris, a roof job, a remodel, furniture, or other large objects and big projects a Roll-Off may be needed. Our Roll-off’s come in 10, 20 and 30 cubic yard sizes (see photo).
The cost of a Roll-off container is made up of several components. For each Roll-off container rented there is a daily rental fee of $9.18.
Each time the container is emptied there is a haul fee of $400.45 and the landfill costs to dispose of the material.
Landfill costs can vary widely and are simply a “pass through cost” or whatever the landfill charges us to dump your items, we charge directly back to you. Typically the cost is by weight, $43.05 per ton for general waste. There are also charges for appliances, non-refrigerated appliances, tires based on size and mattresses. For a more detailed list of costs, you can call the Merced County Landfill at 209-723-4481 or at their website.
If you have a refuse account in good standing, the charges for dumpsters can be placed on your account. Or if you are a tenant and/or the refuse bill is not in your name, you can pay a deposit in advance.
If you have construction and demolition waste make sure you are following CALGreen standards. Develop a Construction Waste Management Plan as required per CALGreen code Title 24, diverting 65% of waste from the general waste stream. A self-certification form can be found at C&D Waste and Recycling Diversion Log and included with your C&D permit.
For either of these types of dumpsters, service is provided on a next business day basis. The Public Works office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
