Dumpster rental
in Palm Desert.

In Palm Desert the first call is Burrtec, the City's waste and recycling provider, which takes roll-off and temporary-bin orders for Palm Desert addresses from its Eclectic Street office. Confirm your parcel is in the City, get your association's approval if you live behind a gate, and fit the box on the driveway; small loads can go to Edom Hill yourself.

The first decision in Palm Desert

Check the city boundary first.

This guide lists one company because Burrtec is the hauler that serves Palm Desert homes for the City; the real choices are box size (a 3-yard bin up to a 40-yard roll-off), whether to self-haul a small load to Edom Hill instead, and keeping hazardous items like batteries out of the box. Burrtec publishes no Palm Desert box prices or rental terms, so get the days, weight allowance and overage charges in writing.

Your local checklist

Check that your parcel is inside the City of Palm Desert and not in Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Cathedral City or unincorporated Riverside County, since a Palm Desert mailing address alone does not decide which rules apply.
Call Burrtec at (760) 340-2113 or use its request form with Palm Desert selected, and get the rental days, weight allowance, overage charge and any daily fee in writing before delivery, and turn down any other dumpster company or broker offering a box at a Palm Desert address.
If you live in a gated or country-club community, get the association's written approval, delivery hours and gate access for the truck, and measure the driveway against Burrtec's box dimensions.

Burrtec Waste & Recycling Services (Palm Desert's contracted waste and recycling provider)

Published sizes: Burrtec's residential page lists 3-yard (6 ft L x 3 ft 5 in W x 4 ft H), 10-yard (15 ft L x 8 ft W x 2 ft H), 20-yard (21 ft 11 in L x 7 ft W x 3 ft 6 in H) and 40-yard (21 ft 11 in L x 7 ft W x 7 ft H) containers.

Rental & weight terms: Not published: rental days, weight allowance, overage and extra-day charges are not stated on Burrtec's Palm Desert page or its request form. Orders go through Burrtec's online request form, which lists Palm Desert as a service area and offers a 'Roll-off, Storage Container, or Temporary Bin' option, or by calling customer service at (760) 340-2113. The construction brochure says a disposal and diversion report can be provided if you ask for it when ordering.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote that states the rental days, the weight allowance, the overage charge and any daily fee.

Burrtec's Palm Desert page lists roll-off services, temporary bin rentals, concrete washout and construction/demolition service for the city. Its welcome letter to Palm Desert residents calls Burrtec the residents' waste and recycling service provider, and its contact page lists the Palm Desert Area office at 41575 Eclectic Street, Palm Desert, CA 92260 (760-340-2113), serving La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City and unincorporated Riverside County.

Warning: Palm Desert wants containers kept out of street view, so keep the Burrtec box short-term

We did not find a published City of Palm Desert permit written for a roll-off or debris bin in the street, so treat street placement as something to clear with the City first, not as allowed. A driveway is the practical spot: Burrtec lists its 10-yard box at about 15 ft long by 8 ft wide and 2 ft high, and its 20- and 40-yard boxes at about 22 ft long by 7 ft wide, so measure the driveway, check overhead clearance from eaves and palm fronds, and lay boards under the rails to protect pavers and stamped concrete, which are common here. In gated country-club communities the association usually controls deliveries and how long a container may sit, so get written approval and a gate pass before booking. Warning: Palm Desert Municipal Code § 8.16.035 says every person in charge of a residence shall store containers after collection 'in such a manner as not to be viewable by the public from a public right-of-way'. The section states no exception for a temporary roll-off, so book only the days the job needs and have Burrtec pull the box promptly.

What matters locally

Batteries and household hazardous waste: Burrtec pickup or its Corporate Way recycle center

Burrtec's Palm Desert residential newsletter says the City of Palm Desert and Burrtec offer a way to get rid of household batteries: tape both ends of 9V, AAA, AA, C and D cells, put them in a clear zipper bag of one quart or smaller, and either call (760) 340-2113 or email customerservice@burrtecdesert.com to schedule a household hazardous waste pickup, or drop them at Burrtec's Recycle Center, 41800 Corporate Way in Palm Desert. Keep batteries, paint and other items labeled caution, warning or flammable out of any roll-off; the newsletter warns that hazardous waste must never be mixed with regular trash.

Self-haul option: Edom Hill Transfer Station in Cathedral City

For a small load you can haul yourself, Burrtec lists the Edom Hill Transfer Station at 70-100 Edom Hill Road in Cathedral City, open Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and closed Sundays, phone (760) 340-2113. It sits north of I-10, a short drive from most of Palm Desert. Burrtec's facilities page does not publish gate fees or an accepted-materials list, so call before you load the truck, especially for concrete, roofing or appliances.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Palm Desert.

Which company handles roll-off boxes at Palm Desert homes?

Burrtec Waste & Recycling Services. Its welcome letter to Palm Desert residents calls it the residents' waste and recycling provider, its Palm Desert page lists roll-off service and temporary bin rentals for the city, and its request form lets you order a roll-off or temporary bin with Palm Desert as the service area. Its Palm Desert Area office is at 41575 Eclectic Street (760-340-2113). The City says it contracts with Burrtec for waste and recycling services, and Municipal Code § 8.16.110 says the City has an exclusive franchise agreement with its franchise waste hauler, so do not book an outside dumpster company or broker for a Palm Desert address.

Can I put old batteries or other hazardous items in a Palm Desert roll-off?

No. Burrtec's Palm Desert newsletter says hazardous waste must never be mixed with regular trash, recyclables or organics. For household batteries, tape both ends, bag them in a clear quart-size zipper bag, and either schedule a household hazardous waste pickup with Burrtec at (760) 340-2113 or customerservice@burrtecdesert.com, or drop them at Burrtec's Recycle Center at 41800 Corporate Way in Palm Desert.
