Dumpster rental
in Garden Grove.

Inside Garden Grove city limits, a roll-off or 3-yard bin comes from Republic Services (Garden Grove Disposal), the City and Sanitary District's exclusive franchisee; other dumpster companies cannot lawfully serve your house. Use the three free bulky-item pickups first for furniture and appliances, and keep the box on your driveway unless Public Works issues an encroachment permit.

The first decision in Garden Grove

Check the city boundary first.

There is one provider, so the real choices are which Republic container to order and whether you need one at all. A 40-yard roll-off costs $909.42 for three days; a 15-yard low boy for concrete or dirt costs $811.70 when the load is clean inert, or $950.56 when mixed; a 3-yard bin costs $118.42. Extra days are $18.57 a day for a roll-off, and tonnage above 8 tons is surcharged. For a few large items, the free bulky pickups cost nothing, and a pickup-truck load to Olinda Alpha landfill costs $30.

Your local checklist

Confirm the parcel is inside the City of Garden Grove and not in Westminster, Stanton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley or another neighboring city, which have their own haulers.
When you call Republic at (714) 238-3300, ask whether the base price covers loads up to 8 tons, when the $18.57 extra-day charge starts, and say whether the box is for a construction project so a weight ticket is issued.
If the bin cannot fit on your driveway, apply to Garden Grove Public Works Engineering ((714) 741-5887) for a right-of-way encroachment permit before the box goes in the street, and tarp it at the end of each workday.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Republic Services, dba Garden Grove Disposal (City of Garden Grove exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: Temporary roll-offs: 40-cubic-yard roll-off box, 40-yard yard-waste roll-off, 15-yard low boy (mixed or clean inert loads such as concrete and dirt) and an organics box; a 3-yard temporary bin for small cleanups and a 3-yard temporary construction bin on weekly service. A green-building schedule also prices 30-yard mixed C&D, clean wood and clean drywall boxes and a 15-yard mixed inert box.
Rental & weight terms: Roll-off and 3-yard temporary rates are for three-day service. Extra days cost $18.57 a day for a roll-off and $9.38 a day for a 3-yard bin; a second dump of a 3-yard bin is $118.42. The rate sheet adds an overweight surcharge above 8 tons ($144.99 a ton for refuse; $183.01 a ton for yard waste or clean inert), so confirm with Republic that loads up to 8 tons are covered by the base price. Other City-set charges: trip charge or dead run $91.85, relocation $65.21, Saturday service $50.30 a box, stand-by $116.11 an hour. Under the franchise, a temporary bin ordered by noon must be delivered the next business day. Tell Republic if the box is for a construction project so a weight ticket is issued for your recycling paperwork.
Price basis: Temporary three-day service, City of Garden Grove rate schedule effective July 1, 2026: 40-yard roll-off box $909.42; 15-yard low boy $950.56; 15-yard low boy, clean inert $811.70; 40-yard yard-waste roll-off $811.70; 3-yard temporary bin $118.42. Green-building schedule: 30-yard mixed refuse/C&D (65% diversion) haul $804.07, with $83.72 a ton over 8 tons.

Republic's local office named in the franchise agreement is 1131 North Blue Gum Street, Anaheim, CA 92806; call (714) 238-3300 to order (the City's pages give this number), or Republic's general line 800-700-8610. The City's construction-recycling guide says Republic is the City's exclusive franchisee and that containers can only be rented from Republic, and the Sanitary District code makes collecting solid waste without a franchise a misdemeanor. Other dumpster companies or brokers that advertise Garden Grove are not a lawful option for addresses inside City limits.

Keep the bin on your property unless the City issues an encroachment permit for the street

The City's construction storm-water brochure says dumpsters must be located on site unless an encroachment permit is obtained for placement in the street, that a dumpster must be covered with a tarp at the end of each workday, and that the area around it must be kept clean. Encroachment permits come from Public Works Engineering at City Hall, 11222 Acacia Parkway ((714) 741-5887). The right-of-way application asks for a sketch or plans, a contractor license number and the City's contractor insurance, needs an inspection booked 48 hours ahead, and requires a traffic control plan approved by Traffic Engineering for anything that interferes with traffic. No fee, time limit or dumpster-specific condition is published, so call Engineering before a box goes in the street. On a typical Garden Grove tract lot, the simpler choice is the driveway; Republic's 3-yard temporary bin fits where a 40-yard roll-off will not.

What matters locally

Three free bulky-item pickups a year, up to 10 items each

Single-family and multi-family residents get up to three on-call bulky-item pickups a year from Republic Services, with up to 10 items each time, at no extra charge. Book ahead by phone at (714) 238-3300 and set items at the curb. Under the City's franchise, accepted items include furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronic waste, yard trimmings and bagged trash, but not hazardous waste, food scraps or any single item over 200 pounds. The 2026-2027 City rate schedule charges $64.68 for each pickup beyond the third in a year and $9.94 for each item beyond 10. The City and the Sanitary District also hold several free community cleanup events a year that take bulky items, electronics and green waste, but not concrete, dirt, rock, brick, tires or hazardous waste; dates move, so check the City's cleanup-days page. For a sofa and a few appliances, these options usually cost less than a roll-off.

Hazardous waste goes to County centers; self-haul debris to Olinda Alpha or Prima Deshecha

Paint, pool chemicals, motor oil, pesticides and household batteries cannot go in a bin. The City sends residents to the four OC Waste & Recycling household hazardous waste centers, which are free for Orange County residents; the closest to Garden Grove are 17121 Nichols Lane, Gate 6, in Huntington Beach and 1071 N. Blue Gum Street in Anaheim. They are open Tuesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., close in rain, and take no more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds a trip in containers of 5 gallons or less. If you would rather haul debris yourself, only the Olinda Alpha (Brea) and Prima Deshecha (San Juan Capistrano) landfills take public loads; fees from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 are $15 for a car load under 360 pounds, $30 for a pickup or van under 880 pounds and $92.70 a ton above that, plus $15 for items over six feet. The Frank R. Bowerman landfill near Irvine does not accept the public.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Garden Grove.

Can I hire any dumpster company for my Garden Grove house?

No. The Garden Grove Sanitary District Code gives Garden Grove Disposal (Republic Services) the exclusive right to collect solid waste from all premises in the District and makes it a misdemeanor for anyone else to collect it. The code exempts residents hauling their own waste and contractors removing debris as an incidental part of their own work, but it does not let you hire a separate hauling company. The franchise agreement makes Republic's temporary bin service exclusive, and the City's construction-recycling guide says Republic is the City's exclusive franchisee and that containers can only be rented from Republic. Order through Republic at (714) 238-3300.

Does my remodel need a construction waste plan and deposit?

Possibly. Under Garden Grove's construction and demolition recycling ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 18.60), the Building counter decides when you apply for a permit whether your project needs a Construction Waste Management Plan. If it does, you file the plan online through Green Halo at gardengrove.wastetracking.com, pay a refundable security deposit, and divert 65% of the debris. Your options are a Republic roll-off ordered as a construction bin or self-hauling to City-approved facilities. Keep every weight ticket and upload it at the end; the refund takes about six to eight weeks once your file is complete. Questions go to the Environmental Division at (714) 741-5188.
