Dumpster rental
in Daly City.

Daly City leaves no hauler to shop for: the City says only Republic Services may supply debris boxes, at maximum rates the City publishes. Use the free yearly Republic bulky pickup for a few large items; for remodel or cleanout debris, order the smallest Republic box that fits, and if it must sit on the street, get Engineering's Temporary Container permit before delivery.

The first decision in Daly City

Check the city boundary first.

There is one supplier, so the choices are about the box. A garbage box (8 to 40 yards) comes with a fixed tonnage allowance and a per-ton overage, while a construction debris box (wood, mixed C&D, dirt or concrete) is priced at a lower per-pull rate plus every ton hauled, so heavy clean loads can come out cheaper in a C&D box. Keeping a box longer than seven days adds a daily demurrage charge, and a street box adds the City's $557 permit and $500 deposit. Outside companies and brokers offering Daly City delivery are not allowed to place a box here.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Daly City and not in the Town of Colma or unincorporated Broadmoor, which share Daly City ZIP codes, or across the line in San Francisco.
Order the box from Republic Services at (650) 756-1130 and ask which column of the City's debris box rate sheet applies today, the tonnage allowance for your size, the per-ton charge, and the daily charge after seven days.
If the box will not fit on your driveway, apply to Engineering (650-991-8064) for a Temporary Container street obstruction permit with insurance before delivery; if your remodel has a building permit with a C&D deposit, tell Republic to take the load to a recycling facility and keep every receipt.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Republic Services of Daly City (City of Daly City exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: The City's debris box rate sheet lists 8- and 15-yard solid-waste boxes (2-ton limit per pull), a 30-yard box (4 tons) and a 40-yard box (5 tons); separate recyclables boxes (15, 30 and 40 yards); and construction debris boxes: 8-yard for dirt or concrete, and 15-, 30- and 40-yard boxes for wood or mixed C&D.
Rental & weight terms: City-set maximums: a demurrage (daily rental) charge applies if you keep a box longer than 7 days without a pickup, plus per-placement, relocation and cancellation charges. Garbage boxes include the tonnage limit shown for each size, with a per-ton overage charge above it. Construction debris boxes are billed at a per-pull rate plus the actual tonnage at no more than the maximum per-ton rate. The sheet says per-ton rates do not include City franchise fees.
Price basis: The City's Debris Box and Compactor Service rate sheet sets maximum per-pull, per-ton overage, daily (demurrage) and placement charges for each box size; its newest column is labeled 'proposed', so ask Republic for the rate in force today and get it in writing before you book.

This is the only lawful debris-box provider at Daly City homes: City Code § 8.12.030 gives the City's garbage contractor the exclusive right to collect and dispose of waste in the city. The City's C&D Recycling Program guide says Republic Services is the only solid waste provider allowed to supply boxes within Daly City, and the City's Waste Management Plan form says Republic is the only approved provider of debris bins and hauling in the City. The City's Republic Services page lists the local office at 1680 Edgeworth Ave, Daly City, CA 94015, phone (650) 756-1130 (Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to noon), email InfoDalyCity@RepublicServices.com. Republic's own Daly City page lists the same customer service line but does not describe debris-box service, so order by phone.

Driveway if it fits; a box on the street needs a Temporary Container permit from Engineering

Many Daly City houses, especially the attached rows in Westlake and around Serramonte, have a short driveway in front of a one-car garage, so an 8- or 15-yard Republic box often has to go in the street. Engineering's encroachment permit application (issued under Municipal Code Chapter 12) has a 'Street Parking Obstruction' line asking for the number of days, and the City's FAQ says any work in the public right-of-way needs an encroachment permit; part of a front yard behind the sidewalk may be City right-of-way, which Engineering can confirm at (650) 991-8064. The FY 2027 Master Fee Schedule lists a 'Temporary Container' permit under Street Parking/Space Obstruction (renewable every four weeks): $557 base, plus $111 a week after the first week, plus a $500 security deposit. The application also asks for proof of liability insurance naming the City, two working days' notice to the Engineering inspector before work starts, and says No Parking signs may be posted only on the days actually needed. Many Daly City streets are steep, so ask Republic to set the box with chocks or boards and keep it clear of the sidewalk.

What matters locally

One free on-call bulky pickup a year from Republic

Each Daly City household with Republic service gets one free On-Call Bulky Goods Collection a year. The City-posted flyer says you can use it either for an Extra Clean Up of up to 2 cubic yards (about twelve 32-gallon bags of bagged, boxed or bundled garbage, clothing and yard trimmings) or for two bulky items such as appliances, mattresses or electronics, each no more than 200 lbs or 3 by 6 feet; branches must be under 2 feet across and 4 feet long. Book with Republic at (650) 756-1130 or InfoDalyCity@RepublicServices.com. The City's Republic page says to book at least two weeks ahead, while a newer City flyer says one week, so call early. For a mattress and a washer, this is cheaper than any box.

Permitted remodels carry a refundable C&D deposit and need recycling receipts

Daly City's construction and demolition program (Municipal Code Chapter 15.64) requires covered projects to recycle at least 65% of their debris. At a house it applies to alterations valued over $15,000, new construction over $25,000, roofing tear-offs over 100 square feet and complete demolitions, and projects over $30,000 also need an approved Waste Management Plan before the permit is issued. The FY 2027 Master Fee Schedule sets the refundable deposit at 3% of valuation for residential alterations and $3,000 for a complete demolition or roof work, with a $101 administrative fee kept on refund (the program guide still shows older amounts). Tell Republic before pickup that the box must go to a recycling facility; the guide names Blue Line Transfer (South San Francisco), Recology San Bruno, Shoreway in San Carlos and Recology San Francisco for mixed debris. Turn in the receipts within 180 days of final inspection or the deposit is forfeited.

Questions about renting in Daly City.

Can I hire any dumpster company for my Daly City house?

No. The City's Construction & Demolition Recycling Program guide says Republic Services is the only solid waste provider allowed to supply boxes within Daly City, and the City's Waste Management Plan form says Republic is the only approved provider of debris bins and hauling. City Code § 8.12.030 gives the City's garbage contractor the exclusive right to collect and dispose of refuse and other waste in the city, and the City's organics ordinance describes the franchise as an exclusive right to collect solid waste, recyclables and organics in the City. Book through Republic's Daly City office at (650) 756-1130; prices are capped by the City's debris box rate sheet.

What does Daly City charge to put a debris box in the street?

The FY 2027 Master Fee Schedule lists a Temporary Container permit under Street Parking/Space Obstruction: $557 base, $111 for each week after the first, and a $500 security deposit, renewable every four weeks. You apply to Public Works Engineering with its encroachment permit application, which asks for the number of days of street parking obstruction, proof of liability insurance naming the City, and two working days' notice before work begins. A box kept entirely on your own driveway does not use the street, but ask Engineering if part of your front yard is City right-of-way.
