Dumpster rental
in Colton.

In Colton the hauler is fixed: the City contracts exclusively with CR&R, and its construction program says no outside companies may be used. What you decide is the box and the timing. For furniture, use your eight yearly bulky pickups or the Steel Road yard; for remodel or cleanout debris, book a CR&R temporary roll-off at the City-set 3-day rate, keep it on your driveway, and plan the job so you are not paying $17.01 for each extra day.

The first decision in Colton

Check the city boundary first.

There is no company to compare: CR&R is the only lawful roll-off provider at Colton homes, and its prices are capped by the City's annual rate sheet. The real choices are size and method. The 10-yard and 40-yard temporary roll-offs cost about the same for 3 days ($727.08 and $698.23), so the 10-yard box makes sense mainly for heavy loads such as concrete or dirt; a 3-yard cleanup bin ($108.76) suits a small garage job, and bulky pickups or a trip to the Steel Road transfer station may avoid a box altogether.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Colton and not in San Bernardino, Rialto, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda or unincorporated Bloomington, since the CR&R franchise rule and City rates apply only inside City limits.
  2. Book the box with CR&R (909-370-3377) and ask in writing how many tons the 3-day price includes, the $78.32-per-ton overage and the $17.01 daily fee after day three; turn down outside dumpster companies and brokers.
  3. Keep the box on your driveway; if it must go in the street, apply to the Engineering Division for an encroachment permit weeks ahead, and if your project has a building permit, file the Waste Diversion Plan before the permit is issued.

The 3-yard temporary bin's extra days are $8.53 each and a relocation is $72.46. The sheet does not say how many tons the base price includes, so ask CR&R before booking.

This is the only roll-off provider for Colton homes. The City's Refuse and Trash page says the City contracts exclusively with CR&R for trash, organics and recycling; the 2024 Second Amendment to the City's franchise agreement (term extended to July 1, 2036) recites that CR&R exclusively provides solid waste collection services within the City; and the City's C&D program sheet says permit holders must use CR&R and that no outside companies may be used. CR&R's Colton yard and transfer station is at 2059 E. Steel Road, Colton, CA 92324, and the City's trash enclosure design guide lists CR&R (909-370-3377) as the City's franchised hauler.

Keep the CR&R box on your driveway; the street needs a general encroachment permit

Colton Municipal Code § 6.16.100(A) says solid waste containers shall not be placed within the limits of any street or alley unless authorized by the Public Works Director, and we found no City permit written specifically for a roll-off or bin in the street. The nearest City process is the Engineering Division's Encroachment Permit Application (updated November 2020), which covers anything placed in the public right-of-way: the fee depends on the type of encroachment and how long it stays, the fee is non-refundable, the permit is issued to the owner of record, the City Engineer must be told in writing 48 hours before work starts, temporary no-parking signs must go up 72 hours ahead, and processing usually takes two to four weeks (longer if City Council approval is needed). That timeline does not suit a short cleanout, so plan for the box to sit on your driveway or elsewhere on your lot, with boards under the rails, and keep it clear of the sidewalk. Whatever the location, the box itself should come from CR&R. If you live in an apartment or condominium complex, note that Colton Municipal Code § 18.40.020, as quoted in the City's trash enclosure design guide, says refuse, bins and containers on commercial, institutional and multi-family premises that are exposed to public view from streets, alleys, walkways or public parking lots must be screened; the guide states no exception for a temporary box, so book only the days the job needs, have CR&R pull the box promptly, and get the property manager's approval first. The guide applies that rule to commercial, institutional and multi-family premises, not to single-family homes.

What matters locally

Eight curbside bulky-item pickups a year through CR&R

The City's Refuse and Trash page says every single-family household in Colton can book up to eight bulky-item pickups a year, four items per pickup, for a yearly total of 32 items; you may put out more than four at once as long as the year's total stays at 32. Couches, mattresses, tables, chairs, desks, dressers and large appliances qualify, and pickups are by appointment through CR&R at 909-370-3377. The City's 2026-27 rate sheet lists extra charges for some items, such as $60.05 for an appliance with freon and $86.48 for a water heater over 75 gallons. If the job is furniture rather than debris, this can make a box unnecessary.

Colton residents can drop loads at CR&R's Steel Road transfer station

CR&R's Colton yard and transfer station at 2059 E. Steel Road doubles as the City's drop-off point. Under the 2024 amendment to the City's franchise, Colton residents who show a photo ID and a recent utility bill get a reduced rate, set at $25 for up to 1,000 pounds of non-hazardous material and adjusted each July 1 for inflation, so ask for the current figure. The City says residents may bring an unlimited number of mattresses and box springs there free, and that carpet and padding are taken Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the first two rolls free. Four Saturday community dump days a year (at the Gonzales Community Center, 670 Colton Ave., and the Steel Road yard) take household items but not construction debris or household hazardous waste.

Permitted building projects must use CR&R and report diversion

Colton's Construction and Demolition Diversion Program sheet, which cites Municipal Code Section 15.04.030, says new single-family and tract homes, multifamily, commercial, industrial and demolition projects must submit a Waste Diversion Plan before the building or demolition permit is issued, that the permittee must use CR&R in the construction and demolition phase, and that CR&R completes the Waste Diversion Report needed before final sign-off. It adds that hauler rates are set by the City each year. Questions go to the City's Environmental Conservation Specialist at 909-370-5561.
