Dumpster rental
in Alameda.

For a cleanout at an Alameda home, order the box from ACI, the City's exclusive franchised hauler, whose posted 2026-27 rates start at $807.30 per pull for a 10-yard garbage box plus delivery. If you hold a City building permit, a hauler on the City's permitted C&D list, such as Bee Green, can also take the construction debris. Either way the box must sit on your own property, because Public Works does not permit debris bins in the street.

The first decision in Alameda

Check the city boundary first.

The two options cover different jobs. ACI is the only company that may take household cleanout debris in Alameda and publishes full per-pull rates, tonnage allowances and add-on charges, but its prices run higher and every box adds a $170.20 delivery charge. Bee Green may serve only permitted construction and demolition projects; its published mixed-C&D prices are lower ($650 to $950) and include 7 days, but each box includes only 1 to 4 tons before $125 a ton. For a permitted remodel, compare ACI's franchise C&D rate with Bee Green's price plus likely overweight charges.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Alameda (main island, Alameda Point or Bay Farm Island), not Oakland, San Leandro or elsewhere in Alameda County, which have different haulers.
Measure your driveway or yard first: Public Works will not permit a debris bin in the street, so pick a box size that fits on your own property and lay boards under the rails.
Use ACI (510-483-1400) for any household cleanout; use a hauler from the City's permitted C&D list only for debris from a project with a City permit, and keep every weight ticket for your Alameda.WasteTracking.com plan.

The City's Zero Waste page names ACI as the City's franchised waste hauler, and the City's franchise agreement with ACI (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2033) grants an exclusive franchise within City limits, with exceptions that let other permitted companies haul only C&D from City-permitted projects. ACI's Alameda office is at 2307 Blanding Avenue, Suite B, Alameda, CA 94501 (510-483-1400, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.). The debris box page sits under ACI's commercial services menu; residents order through the same 'Order a Debris Box' link or by phone. ACI's table also shows lower 'non-franchise' C&D rates, which it does not explain; ask which rate applies to your load.

Bee Green (City-listed permitted C&D hauler, permitted projects only)

Published sizes: 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard boxes, plus a closed-top 40-yard box.
Rental & weight terms: Up to 7 rental days included; each extra day is $25. Included weight depends on the material: mixed C&D boxes include 1 ton (10-yd), 2 tons (20-yd), 3 tons (30-yd) or 4 tons (40-yd) with $125 per extra ton; 10-yard inerts or clean dirt boxes include 6 tons ($94 per extra ton); mixed inerts 4.5 tons ($110 per extra ton); clean wood 6 tons (30-yd) or 7 tons (40-yd) at $79 per extra ton.

Bee Green's C&D debris box page lists the City of Alameda among its service areas, and Bee Green appears on the City's list of permitted C&D haulers. Its footer gives Oakland locations including a C&D recycling yard at 725 Independent Road, Oakland, CA 94621, and a corporate office line of 510-636-0852. Under the City's franchise, a non-franchise hauler may take only construction and demolition debris from a project with a City permit, so use Bee Green for a permitted remodel, not for a household cleanout.

The box must sit on your own property; Alameda does not permit debris bins in the street

Alameda Public Works' encroachment permit page answers this directly: it does not issue encroachment permits for debris bins in the public right of way, because sediment from bins gets into the storm drains, and it tells residents to put the bin on private property. That rules out the curb lane and parking strip in front of most Alameda homes, so plan the job around your driveway, side yard or a paved area behind the gate before you book. Many older homes in central Alameda and the Gold Coast have narrow or shared driveways, so measure the space and ask ACI for the smallest box that will do the job; lay boards under the rails to protect concrete. ACI's posted rate table still lists a flasher charge for a box placed in the street, but that does not override the City's position, so do not rely on it. Lane closures or staging that needs traffic control do require a Public Works encroachment permit (PWPermits@alamedaca.gov, 510-747-7930). Condominium and Harbor Bay owners should also check association rules before a box arrives.

What matters locally

One free on-call bulky cleanup a year from ACI, up to 3 cubic yards

ACI's Alameda cleanup page gives each household or unit one on-call bulky-item collection day a year at no extra charge. A set-out can hold up to 3 cubic yards plus up to three large items of 150 lb or less each (appliances with doors removed or sealed, mattresses, furniture), and one of the three may be e-waste such as a TV or computer. Bag, box or bundle loose trash and recyclables, and keep reusable items separate and marked REUSE. Dirt, rocks, construction and demolition debris, tires and household hazardous waste are not taken; ACI points those to debris box service or the county HHW program. Book by calling 510-483-1400 or emailing info@alamedacountyindustries.com; there are no appointments in the first two weeks of January, and extra days or overflow cost extra. For a single room of furniture this can replace a rented box.

Permitted projects file a waste plan and prove 65% diversion before final inspection

The City's C&D requirements page says permitted projects covered by CALGreen must recycle 95% of concrete and asphalt and 65% of all other construction debris hauled from the job, and every load must be reported. Before construction the permit applicant files a waste management plan at Alameda.WasteTracking.com naming who will haul the debris and where it will be processed; before final inspection you upload receipts and weight tickets showing the targets were met. The City also asks applicants to consider deconstruction so materials can be reused. Keep every ticket from ACI or your listed hauler. Questions go to Public Works at 510-747-7900.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Alameda.

Can I hire any dumpster company for a cleanout at my Alameda house?

No. The City's franchise agreement grants Alameda County Industries an exclusive franchise within City limits, and lets other companies collect only construction and demolition debris from a project with a City permit, and only if they hold a City permit themselves. A garage, estate or move-out cleanout is not a permitted construction project, so the box comes from ACI. You may still haul your own debris in your own vehicle. For a permitted remodel, the City lists eight permitted C&D haulers, including ACI and Bee Green.

Can the debris box go in the street in front of my Alameda home?

No. Alameda Public Works says it does not issue encroachment permits for debris bins in the public right of way, because of sediment reaching the storm drains, and that bins should be placed on private property. ACI's rate table lists a flasher charge for boxes placed in the street, but the City's permit position is what counts for a residential job. If the box will not fit in your driveway or yard, ask ACI about a smaller box or several pulls of a 10-yard box, or contact the Public Works permit desk at 510-747-7930.
