Dumpster rental
in Highland.

In Highland you do not shop around: Burrtec holds the City's exclusive franchise for temporary bins and roll-offs, and the City Council sets its prices. Use the four free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances first. For a cleanout or remodel, pick the Burrtec box that fits the job, ask Burrtec what the City's residential container-placement rule needs from you, and keep the box on your driveway for no more than the seven included days.

The first decision in Highland

Check the city boundary first.

There is only one lawful roll-off provider at a Highland home, so the choice is between Burrtec's options, not between companies. The 2026-27 City rates put the 20- and 40-yard trash roll-offs at the same $602.39 with 5 tons included, so for bulky, light debris the 40-yard box costs no more. Heavy material such as tile, concrete or plaster fits the 10-yard demo box at $724.24 with 7 tons. For a small cleanup, the temporary bin at $126.15 is far cheaper, and furniture can often go out free as a bulky-item pickup. Every box includes seven days, then $35.76 a day.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Highland and not in the City of San Bernardino, Redlands or unincorporated San Bernardino County, because the Burrtec franchise and these rates apply only inside Highland's city limits.
  2. Order from Burrtec at (909) 889-1969, ask whether the City's large-lot container exception (§ 8.12.350) applies if your parcel is over 2.5 acres or set far back from the street, and turn down any other dumpster company or broker offering a box at a Highland address.
  3. Pick the box by weight as well as volume (5 tons in the 20- and 40-yard trash boxes, 7 tons in the 10-yard demo box), keep it on the driveway, and schedule the pickup before day seven to avoid the $35.76 daily fee.

Burrtec Waste Industries (City of Highland exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes
The City-posted Burrtec brochure (2026) offers a three-cubic-yard 'rent-a-bin' for residential cleanups and special projects, and says larger 40-yard roll-off containers are also available. The City's 2026-27 rate schedule also lists 20-yard and 40-yard trash roll-offs, a 10-yard demo box for heavy debris, and 40-yard green waste and clean wood boxes for permanent or temporary service.
Rental & weight terms
City rate schedule (Resolution 2026-038, effective July 1, 2026): each roll-off price includes a set tonnage: 5 tons for the 20- and 40-yard trash boxes and 7 tons for the 10-yard demo box. After 7 days a rental fee of $35.76 per day applies. Excess disposal is $60.92 (the schedule does not state the unit; ask whether it is per ton). A relocation, extra trip or dry run is $83.98. A temporary bin extra pickup is $73.08.
Price basis
Set by the City Council for 2026-27: temporary bin $126.15; 20-yard trash roll-off (5 tons) $602.39; 40-yard trash roll-off (5 tons) $602.39; 10-yard demo box (7 tons) $724.24; 40-yard green waste (5 tons) $673.65; 40-yard clean wood (5 tons) $504.35. Confirm the total, including any taxes or fees, in writing when you order.

Burrtec is the only company allowed to provide temporary bin and roll-off service at Highland homes. The City's posted franchise agreement (effective August 1, 2018, 20-year term) grants Burrtec an exclusive franchise for temporary bin and roll-off box services in residential, commercial, construction and industrial areas within the city limits. Burrtec's contact page lists Highland among the communities served by its San Bernardino County yard at 5455 Industrial Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407, and its Highland service page lists roll-off and temporary bin rentals. Customer service is (909) 889-1969, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Keep the Burrtec box on your driveway and book only the days you need

Highland's franchise agreement ties residential bin service to Municipal Code § 8.12.350, the City's 'Exception to Container Placement for Residential Use'. That section is written for parcels over two and a half acres or homes extremely removed from the street, where the City can waive standard containers once a code compliance officer validates the need and a one-time $22 fee is paid; if that describes your lot, ask Burrtec when you book whether the exception applies to your box. We did not find a City permit written for a bin in the street. The City takes encroachment permit applications online through its Engineering permit portal, so ask Engineering before any box goes on the street, sidewalk or parkway. On your own lot, a driveway is the simplest spot: put boards under the rails, keep the sidewalk clear, check your HOA rules if you have one, and book only the days you need. Burrtec's rates include seven days and charge a daily fee after that.

What matters locally

Four free bulky-item pickups a year, five items each, through Burrtec

The City's Trash and Recycling Services page says Highland homes get four free curbside bulky-item collections a year, with up to five items each time. Beyond that, the 2026-27 City rate resolution charges $12.21 for each item over five and $42.73 for an extra pickup trip. Call Burrtec at (909) 889-1969 to book. A couch, a mattress and a broken washer can often go out this way, spread over a few pickups, without renting a box at all.

Household hazardous waste goes to the County center at the airport, not in a roll-off

Paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive fluids, household cleaners, batteries and e-waste should not go in a Burrtec box. The City and Burrtec brochure sends residents to the San Bernardino International Airport collection center at 2824 East "W" Street, Building 302, San Bernardino, open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ((909) 382-5401). It takes up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit, in containers no larger than five gallons, and also accepts sharps. The airport is just west of Highland, so it is a short drive for most homes.

Demolition permits need a City-approved C&D plan and the City's approved hauler

Highland's Building Division Policy 305 (revised April 2019) says that before a demolition permit is issued, a construction and demolition waste plan must be submitted to and approved by the Public Services Division, and the applicant must contact the City's approved waste hauler to dispose of the demolition materials, with recyclables weighed and reported. The Public Services Division's C&D Diversion Program sheet points permit holders to an online form for a C&D self-haul or contracted-services permit and for the waste diversion report. If your project needs a permit, sort this out before the box arrives.

Questions about renting in Highland.

Can I rent a roll-off from any dumpster company for my Highland house?

No. The franchise agreement posted on the City's trash page grants Burrtec Waste Industries an exclusive franchise for collecting solid waste and construction debris and for temporary bin and roll-off box service in residential, commercial, construction and industrial areas within Highland's city limits. The agreement took effect on August 1, 2018, for 20 years. A box at a Highland home therefore comes from Burrtec, at rates the City Council adopts each year.

What does a Burrtec roll-off cost in Highland?

The City's Resolution 2026-038, effective July 1, 2026, sets the prices. A 20-yard or 40-yard trash roll-off is $602.39 with 5 tons included, and a 10-yard demo box is $724.24 with 7 tons. A 40-yard green waste box is $673.65 and a temporary bin is $126.15. After seven days the rental fee is $35.76 a day, a relocation, extra trip or dry run is $83.98, and excess disposal is $60.92. The schedule does not say whether excess disposal is charged per ton, so ask Burrtec to confirm when you order.
