Dumpster rental
in Madera.

Inside Madera City limits there is one roll-off company to call: Mid Valley Disposal, the City's exclusive franchised hauler. Your real choices are whether to wait for the annual curbside cleanup, haul debris yourself to Fairmead Landfill, or order a Mid Valley box, and if you order one, how many loads and how long it stays, since the City prices boxes by monthly rent, per-pull charge and landfill tonnage.

The first decision in Madera

Check the city boundary first.

No private dumpster company can compete for a box at a Madera house; the City names Mid Valley Disposal as the only approved roll-off provider. What varies is cost structure: the City caps the monthly rent ($292.38) and each haul ($350.18) for 2026/27, and tonnage follows landfill tipping fees, so a heavy load or a second pull matters more than which size you pick. Self-hauling to Fairmead in your own vehicle and the free annual curbside cleanup are the alternatives.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Madera, not in Madera Ranchos, Parksdale, Madera Acres or another unincorporated Madera County area, because the Mid Valley franchise covers City limits only.
Order the box from Mid Valley Disposal (559-237-9425) and turn down outside dumpster companies or brokers; ask for the monthly rent, the pull charge per load and the per-ton landfill rate in writing.
Keep the box on your driveway; if it must go in the street, ask Mid Valley or the Engineering Division (559-661-5418) about an encroachment permit first, and on a permitted remodel keep your weight tickets for the City's 65% C&D recycling report.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Mid Valley Disposal (City of Madera exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: Mid Valley's roll-off page lists open-top boxes of 10 yards (18 x 8 x 2 ft, about 3-4 truck loads), 20 yards (18 x 8 x 4 ft, about 7-8 loads), 30 yards (22 x 8 x 5 ft, about 13-14 loads) and 40 yards (22 x 8 x 6.5 ft, about 15-16 loads). Its separate Rent-a-Bin service is for small household cleanups only and does not take construction debris, asphalt or appliances.
Rental & weight terms: The City's rate resolution and the franchise fee schedule price a roll-off by the month, not by a fixed rental period: a monthly rent, a pull charge for each load hauled, and tonnage at landfill tipping fees. Rental days, included weight and overage terms are not published; request a written quote. Mid Valley's Madera page says to arrange a roll-off delivery through its contact page or its Madera temporary services form.
Price basis: City-set maximums for fiscal year 2026/27 (from July 1, 2026): $292.38 monthly rent and $350.18 pull charge per load, plus tonnage based on landfill tipping fees (City Resolution 22-103, Attachment A; the same figures appear in the franchise's Exhibit D). The resolution calls these maximum rates that the Council may adjust, so confirm the current charge and the tonnage rate in writing.

This is the only lawful roll-off provider at Madera homes. The City Building Department fact sheet says to use roll-off service from the City's franchise hauler Mid Valley Disposal and that Mid Valley is the only approved roll-off provider for the City of Madera; the franchise agreement (term August 1, 2022 to June 30, 2032) grants it the sole and exclusive solid waste franchise, with construction and demolition waste inside the definition of solid waste, and requires it to provide temporary drop-box service. Exceptions are limited to self-hauling in your own vehicle, gardeners' incidental green waste and recyclables sold or donated. Mid Valley's Madera page offers roll-off bins in a variety of sizes for construction and demolition debris; its nearest listed facility is the Kerman MRF and Transfer Station, 15300 W. Jensen Ave., Kerman, CA 93630. The City's trash page gives (559) 237-9425 for Mid Valley.

Keep the Mid Valley box on your driveway; anything in the street needs an Engineering encroachment permit

Whatever the location, the box has to be a Mid Valley Disposal box: the Building Department fact sheet calls Mid Valley the only approved roll-off provider in the City. On your own driveway we found no City permit or time limit for a temporary roll-off; keep it on the paved driveway rather than the lawn, and ask the Planning Division if the box will stay more than a few days. Anything placed in a City street, sidewalk, alley or other public place falls under the Engineering Division's encroachment permit, which the City requires for any work or obstruction in the right-of-way that creates a safety liability. The permit packet sets a minimum $202 fee, a minimum $500 security, $1 million general and auto liability insurance naming the City, and a City business license, so ask Mid Valley whether it will pull the permit before you ask for street placement. Engineering is at 428 East Yosemite Avenue, (559) 661-5418, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The packet does not name dumpsters or give a time limit for one. Most Madera tract homes have a driveway that fits a 10- or 20-yard box; put boards under the rails, leave the sidewalk clear, and book only the days the job needs.

What matters locally

Annual Residential Curbside Cleanup takes a truckload of bulky items from single-family homes

Once a year the City and Mid Valley Disposal run a curbside cleanup for single-family homes inside City limits, zone by zone; apartments, businesses and unincorporated County homes are not included. Residents may set items out up to three days before their zone's date, in a pile no larger than 5 x 5 x 10 feet (about one truckload), at least six inches back from the curb, with appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and bagged trash separated. Construction and demolition material, dirt, rock, sod and asphalt, tires, batteries, paint and other hazardous items, items over 4 feet long and items over 150 pounds are left behind and must be removed within 24 hours. Zone dates and maps are mailed and posted shortly before service, and Mid Valley answers program questions at (559) 268-0734. If your cleanout is mostly furniture and household clutter, waiting for your zone can save the cost of a box; remodel debris still needs a Mid Valley roll-off or a self-haul trip.

Fairmead Landfill near Chowchilla takes self-haul loads and household hazardous waste

The landfill that serves the City is the County-owned Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19, Chowchilla, operated under contract by Red Rock Environmental Group; the City's page says it is open to self-haulers. Landfill hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., closed Sundays and holidays (559-665-1310). Household hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals and batteries is taken from residents on Saturdays, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The City page does not list gate fees, so call before you load a trailer. Self-hauling your own debris in your own vehicle is the one way around renting a Mid Valley box, and Mid Valley's roll-off tonnage charge is itself tied to landfill tipping fees.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Madera.

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

No. The City Building Department's C&D fact sheet tells applicants to use roll-off service from the City's franchise hauler, Mid Valley Disposal, and says Mid Valley is the only approved roll-off provider for the City of Madera. The City's franchise agreement gives Mid Valley the sole and exclusive right to handle solid waste, including construction and demolition waste, across City limits. You can still haul your own debris in your own vehicle to a permitted facility, but a delivered box must come from Mid Valley.

How is a Mid Valley roll-off priced in Madera?

The City Council sets the maximum charges. Resolution 22-103 lists, for fiscal year 2026/27, a roll-off monthly rent of $292.38 and a pull charge of $350.18 for each load hauled, and the franchise fee schedule adds tonnage based on landfill tipping fees. The resolution says these are maximums that the Council may adjust, and neither document publishes a per-ton figure or an included weight, so ask Mid Valley for the full charge, including tonnage, in writing before delivery.
