Dumpster rental
in Dublin.

Inside Dublin city limits the box comes from Amador Valley Industries, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; the City says using another company violates its ordinance. Use the three free large-item pickups for furniture, a 4-yard Handy Hauler ($296.16) for a small cleanout, and an AVI C&D drop box for remodels, kept on the driveway unless you have an encroachment permit.

The first decision in Dublin

Check the city boundary first.

There is no company-to-company comparison in Dublin: AVI is the only provider, and its prices are set by City resolution. The real choice is which AVI service to use. A 4-yard Handy Hauler costs $296.16 for a week; a mixed C&D drop box runs from $888.03 (15 yards) to $2,368.09 (40 yards) a pull; separated clean wood, cardboard or concrete costs less than mixed debris, and a trash box costs more. Three free 7-yard large-item pickups a year may cover a household cleanout, and self-hauling to another facility is allowed. Included tonnage is not published, so ask before booking.

Your local checklist

Confirm the parcel is inside the City of Dublin, not Pleasanton across I-580, San Ramon, Livermore or unincorporated Alameda County ranch land, since AVI's exclusive franchise applies only within City limits.
Call AVI at 925-479-9545 and ask whether your load should go in a mixed C&D box, a separated material box or a trash box, plus the tonnage allowance, overweight charge and the $68.44 weekly rental after the first week.
If the box must sit in the street, parkway or sidewalk, apply for a Public Works encroachment permit through dublin.ca.gov/CSS well ahead (decisions can take 30 working days), and check HOA rules in east Dublin neighborhoods.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Amador Valley Industries (AVI), City of Dublin exclusive franchised hauler

Published sizes: 4-yard Handy Hauler temporary bin for residential customers; drop boxes from 6 to 40 cubic yards. Mixed C&D boxes come in 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards, and 6-yard boxes are used for concrete, asphalt, dirt and stucco. The City's Waste Handling Standards list AVI box dimensions and maximum tonnage: 6 yd 12 x 8 x 2 ft (3 tons), 15 yd 12 x 8 x 5 ft (3 tons), 20 yd 16 x 8 x 5 ft (4 tons), 30 yd 22 x 8 x 5 ft (6 tons), 40 yd 22 x 8 x 7.5 ft (6 tons). These are maximum loads, not included weight.
Rental & weight terms: Drop-box rates are charged per pull (per haul) under the City's rate resolution. Weekly drop-box rental after the first week is $68.44. A Handy Hauler includes one week of rental and must be filled no higher than the water line; an extra week is $68.44, an additional dump $214.70, and material above the water line $67.58 a cubic yard. Relocating a box costs $175.06. Included tonnage and any per-ton overage for a residential box are not published (the City's commercial standards say overweight charges may apply above 5 tons), so get them in writing. Bins cannot be overfilled; batteries, chemicals and electronics are not accepted.
Price basis: From AVI's Dublin Resolution Rates effective July 1, 2026: 4-yard Handy Hauler $296.16 (one week, one removal). Mixed C&D drop box per pull: 15 yd $888.03, 20 yd $1,184.05, 30 yd $1,776.07, 40 yd $2,368.09. Clean wood or cardboard: 20 yd $573.01, 30 yd $859.52, 40 yd $1,146.03. Clean concrete and asphalt 6 yd $859.33; mixed concrete, dirt or stucco 6 yd $1,028.48. Drywall 20 yd $1,370.80. Trash (solid waste) drop box: 15 yd $955.35, 20 yd $1,273.80, 30 yd $1,910.70, 40 yd $2,547.60.

This is the only lawful roll-off provider at Dublin homes: the City's construction and demolition page says Dublin has an exclusive solid waste franchise with AVI for removal of all solid waste in the City and that using any other company violates City ordinance, and AVI's own C&D page calls it the approved construction and demolition debris hauler in Dublin. AVI's office is at 7000 National Dr., Livermore; call 925-479-9545 or use its online quote form. AVI's single-family menu sends 'Temporary Dumpster Rental' for remodels and construction to its roll-off page. Waste Connections bought AVI in December 2024; the City's FAQ says rates remain governed by the existing franchise agreement. Note that AVI's C&D web page still shows the previous year's mixed C&D prices (for example $850.20 for 15 yards); the prices above come from the 2026-27 rate sheet.

Keep the box on your driveway; a box in the street or parkway needs a Public Works encroachment permit

Dublin's Public Works permits page says an encroachment permit is required for any work in the public right-of-way under Chapter 7.04 of the Municipal Code, and it names placing a temporary storage container such as a POD in the street as an example. The page does not mention debris boxes by name, but we would treat an AVI roll-off at the curb the same way. The page also notes that on most streets the right-of-way runs about eight feet back from the face of the curb, so a parkway strip or sidewalk counts too. You apply online through the City's Citizen Self-Service portal with an insurance certificate and a City business license. The City quotes the fee when the permit is ready to issue, and applications are decided within 30 working days (about six weeks) under § 7.04.190, so street placement is not a same-week option. Contact Public Works at PWPermits@dublin.ca.gov or 925-833-6630. Most Dublin homes have a driveway that avoids the question. In east Dublin's newer neighborhoods, where many driveways are short and garages face alleys or motor courts, ask AVI whether its 4-yard Handy Hauler fits better than a roll-off, and check your HOA's rules before delivery.

What matters locally

Three free large-item pickups a year for single-family homes, up to 7 cubic yards each

The City's Large Item Collection page says AVI gives single-family residents three free on-call collections a year, each limited to seven cubic yards, with small items bagged or boxed. Furniture, carpets, mattresses, appliances such as refrigerators, freezers (doors removed) and water heaters, electronics and up to four car tires without rims are accepted. Dirt, rocks, concrete and hazardous material are not, nor are items over 60 pounds other than furniture and appliances. Apartment and condo residents book through their property manager. AVI's 2026-27 Dublin rate sheet charges $30.68 a cubic yard for additional residential large-item collection. For a move-out or a furniture purge, these pickups can replace a bin.

Hazardous waste goes to the free County drop-offs, not the box

Paint, batteries, chemicals, motor oil and similar household hazardous waste cannot go in an AVI bin; AVI's dumpster page says containers holding hazardous materials will not be collected until they are removed. The City's hazardous-waste page says Alameda County residents can take these items to any of four County household hazardous waste facilities free of charge with no appointment, that AVI holds an annual one-day collection event for Dublin residents (the date comes by mail), and that the large-item pickups can include e-waste. Leftover paint can also go to PaintCare retail partners.

Questions about renting in Dublin.

Can I rent a dumpster from any company for my Dublin house?

No. The City's construction and demolition page says Dublin has an exclusive solid waste franchise agreement with Amador Valley Industries for removal of all solid waste in the City and that using any company other than AVI is a violation of City ordinance; the City's solid-waste requirements page calls AVI the City's exclusive hauler for C&D material. You may haul debris yourself to another facility, which the page says is permitted under the Building & Safety Division, but any rented box should come from AVI (925-479-9545).

How much does an AVI bin cost in Dublin?

AVI's Dublin rate sheet effective July 1, 2026 lists a 4-yard Handy Hauler at $296.16 with one week included and $68.44 for each extra week. Mixed construction and demolition drop boxes cost $888.03 for 15 yards, $1,184.05 for 20, $1,776.07 for 30 and $2,368.09 for 40 yards per pull, and drop boxes rent for $68.44 a week after the first week. Clean, separated wood, cardboard or concrete boxes cost less. The sheet does not state included tonnage, so ask AVI before you fill a box with heavy material.
