Dumpster rental
in Fontana.

Inside Fontana city limits, book a roll-off or 3-yard temporary bin from Burrtec, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; City forms say construction and clean-up containers come only from Burrtec. Use the three free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances, and keep the box entirely on your lot.

The first decision in Fontana

Check the city boundary first.

There is one lawful provider, so the choice is between Burrtec's box sizes and doing without one. On the City's 2026 rate sheet a temporary 40-yard trash box is $717.66 a load, a 20-yard $912.89 and a 10-yard $1,108.16 (the small box is the heavy-material box, with 8 tons listed beside it), and a 3-yard bin for a week is $127.22. Rental days for roll-offs and overweight charges are not published. Free bulky-item pickups cover a few large items.

Your local checklist

Check that the parcel is inside the City of Fontana and not an unincorporated San Bernardino County pocket or a neighboring city such as Rialto, Rancho Cucamonga or Jurupa Valley, which follow different hauler rules.
When you call Burrtec at (909) 822-9739, ask how many days the roll-off rate covers, what the $41.65 rental fee is charged per, and what you pay for weight above the tons listed for your box size.
Plan for the box to sit fully on your driveway or lot; if the job will run past two weeks, call Fontana Code Compliance at (909) 854-8020 first, and get HOA approval if your tract has one.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Burrtec Waste Industries (City of Fontana exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: 3-cubic-yard temporary bin for clean-up projects; temporary roll-off boxes priced in 10-, 20- and 40-yard sizes on the City rate sheet (Burrtec's C&D brochure describes 10- to 40-yard debris boxes, and its commercial brochure lists 10-yard demolition or roofing boxes and 20-, 30- and 40-yard debris boxes). Separate recycling boxes are also offered.
Rental & weight terms: The 3-yard temporary bin is a 7-day rental. Temporary roll-offs are priced per load; the rate sheet lists 8 tons beside the 10-yard box, 6 tons beside the 20-yard and 4 tons beside the 40-yard, without saying whether that is the included disposal weight or a limit, so ask. A roll-off rental fee of $41.65 is listed with no period stated (the original 1997 franchise rate schedule charged a daily rental fee on boxes kept more than 7 days), a relocation or dry-run trip is $104.18 per occurrence within a 5-mile radius, and a roll-off liner is $135.60. The rental period for roll-offs and the charge for weight above the listed tons are not published; get them in writing.
Price basis: Temporary trash roll-off per load: 10-yard $1,108.16, 20-yard $912.89, 40-yard $717.66. Recycling box, all sizes: $295.98 plus actual disposal fees. Temporary 3-yard bin (7 days): $127.22. Prices are from the City of Fontana rate sheet headed '2026 Rates'.

Burrtec's Fontana Division is at 9820 Cherry Ave., Fontana, CA 92335; customer service (909) 822-9739, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City-hosted C&D brochure says temporary containers for residential construction, demolition or clean-up projects can only be ordered from Burrtec, the City's franchised hauler, and the City's Construction Waste Management Plan form says all C&D hauling may only be contracted through Burrtec per Fontana Municipal Code § 24-31(b). Burrtec runs the West Valley MRF at 13373 Napa St., Fontana, where mixed C&D loads are processed. Note that the 10-yard box costs more than the 40-yard on the rate sheet, because the small box is the one meant for heavy concrete, dirt and roofing loads.

Keep the container entirely on your property; ask Code Compliance before it stays past two weeks

The City's construction and demolition brochure, produced with Burrtec, says residential temporary containers should sit entirely on the residential property and should not extend into the public right-of-way, and that you should call the City's Code Compliance department (909-854-8020) for permission if a container will stay longer than two weeks. It also warns that homes in a homeowners association may need the HOA's approval to place a temporary container. We found no City permit written for putting a bin in a Fontana street, so do not plan on curbside placement; on most Fontana lots the driveway is the place for the box. The brochure is dated 2017, so confirm the two-week limit with Code Compliance when you book.

What matters locally

Three free bulky-item pickups a year, five items each

Fontana homes with Burrtec cart service can request up to three free curbside collections of large or bulky items in a 12-month period, with a limit of five items per collection; the program also takes electronic waste. Sofas, water heaters, refrigerators and other appliances are typical, and the City's residential trash page names stumps and appliances. Call Burrtec customer service at (909) 822-9739 to book. For a handful of big items this is cheaper than any box; remodel debris such as drywall, tile and concrete still needs a bin or a self-haul trip.

City HHW drop-off on Orange Way, Saturday mornings, Fontana residents only

Paint, thinners, motor oil, antifreeze, garden chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and similar household hazardous waste do not belong in a roll-off. The City's collection facility at 16454 Orange Way takes them free from Fontana residents on Saturdays only, 8 a.m. to noon, except major holiday weekends. Bring a California ID showing a Fontana city address; the limit is 15 gallons or 125 pounds a day, in containers no larger than 5 gallons, and no business waste is accepted. Questions go to (909) 350-6531.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Fontana.

Can I hire any dumpster company for a project at my Fontana house?

Plan on Burrtec. Fontana's 1997 franchise agreement makes Burrtec the exclusive collector of residential and commercial refuse and solid waste in the City, with narrow exceptions such as residents hauling their own material. The City's construction-waste forms say all hauling from construction or demolition work may only be contracted through Burrtec under Municipal Code § 24-31(b), and the City's C&D brochure says temporary containers for residential construction, demolition or clean-up projects can only be ordered from Burrtec. Other companies advertising Fontana are not the City's provider.

Can I haul my own remodel debris instead of renting a box?

Only on the City's terms. The C&D brochure cites City Code § 24-15(a) in saying self-hauling of refuse from a construction or demolition site is not permitted, and that contractors or homeowners who want to self-haul recyclable materials must own both the container and the vehicle and get a self-haul permit from the City. The Construction Waste Management Plan form allows self-hauling for residential projects only, on the same own-the-container-and-vehicle condition, with weight tickets due before final inspection. Projects with a building permit must show 65% of construction debris was diverted.
