Dumpster rental
in San Bernardino.

Inside San Bernardino city limits, order a roll-off or 3-yard cleanup bin from Burrtec, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; City Code bars other companies from collecting construction debris or trash here. Use the two free bulky-item pickups first for furniture, and keep the bin on your driveway, since we found no street-bin permit.

The first decision in San Bernardino

Check the city boundary first.

There is one lawful provider, so the comparison is between Burrtec's container options and doing without one. A temporary roll-off of mixed refuse costs $661.09 for any size with 4 tons and disposal included; a recycling-only C&D roll-off costs $875.65 with 4 tons; a 3-yard bin for a week is $83.55. The per-ton overage is not published, and a $44.67 daily rental fee appears on the rate sheet without a start day, so ask before booking. For a few large items, the free bulky pickups cost nothing.

Your local checklist

Confirm the parcel is inside the City of San Bernardino and not unincorporated Muscoy, Del Rosa or Devore, or a neighboring city such as Highland, Rialto, Colton or Loma Linda, which have different haulers.
Call Burrtec at (909) 804-4222 and get in writing the per-ton charge above 4 tons, when the $44.67 daily rental fee starts, and whether your load is priced as mixed refuse or as a C&D recycling box.
If you are pulling a building or demolition permit for anything larger than a one-to-four-unit home or a project over $100,000, file the City's Waste Management Plan before the permit is issued and keep Burrtec's diversion report for your deposit refund.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Burrtec Waste Industries (City of San Bernardino exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: Temporary roll-offs of 10, 20, 30 and 40 cubic yards for general refuse, and 20, 30 and 40 yards for construction and demolition recycling loads, plus a 3-yard temporary bin. Burrtec's C&D brochure lists 10- to 40-yard debris roll-off boxes.
Rental & weight terms: The City's rates page includes 4 tons with each temporary roll-off, disposal included. The franchise agreement defines temporary service as no more than 7 days between collections and requires Burrtec to deliver within 48 hours of a request from a home. The 3-yard temporary bin is priced for 7 days of use. The City rate sheet also lists a roll-off daily rental fee of $44.67, a dry-run or relocation fee of $90.81, a stand-by fee of $164.29 per occurrence over 15 minutes, and $83.55 for each extra dump-and-return of a 3-yard bin. The per-ton charge above 4 tons and the day the daily rental fee starts are not published; ask for them in writing. Mixed C&D loads go to Burrtec's material recovery facilities for sorting.
Price basis: Temporary roll-off, all refuse, any size from 10 to 40 yards: $661.09 including disposal up to 4 tons. Temporary C&D roll-off (all recycling), 20 to 40 yards: $875.65 including disposal up to 4 tons. 3-yard temporary bin, 7 days: $83.55. Prices are from the City of San Bernardino rates page and rate sheet (sheet headed "rates effective 8/1/26").

Burrtec's San Bernardino office is at 111 East Mill Street, San Bernardino, CA 92408; customer service is (909) 804-4222, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City's solid waste page says the City contracts with Burrtec for solid waste collection and posts the exclusive franchise agreement and its amendments. The agreement places roll-off collection of construction and demolition debris within Burrtec's franchise, and City Code § 8.24.100 makes it unlawful to collect or transport solid waste in the City without a City franchise. Other dumpster companies or brokers advertising San Bernardino are not the City's provider for addresses inside City limits.

Burrtec must keep bins clear of streets and sidewalks; we found no City permit written for a bin in the street

We did not find a City of San Bernardino rule or permit written specifically for a roll-off or debris bin in the street, so treat curbside placement as unconfirmed rather than allowed. What we did read is the franchise agreement: Burrtec must deliver temporary bins and roll-offs to homes without obstructing alleys, roadways, driveways, sidewalks or mailboxes, and may place them only in strict adherence with the City's right-of-way requirements and Municipal Code. The City's Engineering Division lists Temporary Encroachment, Lane Closure and Traffic Control among its right-of-way permits but gives no dumpster-specific terms; its permit counter is at 909-998-2518. In practice, plan on a driveway or yard spot, and ask Burrtec when you order whether your street or alley location is acceptable. For a narrow lot or a hillside driveway in the foothills, Burrtec's 3-yard temporary bin may fit where a roll-off will not.

What matters locally

Two free bulky-item pickups a year, five items each, booked 48 hours ahead

Under the City's franchise agreement, each single-family home served by Burrtec gets two free on-call bulky-item collections per calendar year, with up to five items per collection (for example a TV, couch or water heater) and no more than two tires per request. Call Burrtec at (909) 804-4222 at least 48 hours ahead; pickup happens on your next regular service day, with items set within two feet of the curb or roadway. Extra pickups, or more than five items, are charged at the agreement's special-collection rate, so ask Burrtec for the current price. For a couch and a mattress, this is usually cheaper than a bin; for remodel debris it is not an option.

Household hazardous waste goes to the County center at the airport, not in a bin

Paint, solvents, pesticides, batteries and similar household hazardous waste are not allowed in a roll-off. The City points residents to the County household hazardous waste facility at San Bernardino International Airport, 2824 East W Street, Building 302, open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (call ahead: 800-645-9228 or 909-382-5401). Loads are limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip, in containers no larger than 5 gallons; sharps in approved containers and e-waste are also taken. A reuse store at the same address gives away usable household products to County residents on weekday afternoons.

Before you book

Questions about renting in San Bernardino.

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

No. The City has an exclusive franchise agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries that covers roll-off collection of construction and demolition debris, and City Code § 8.24.100, as amended by Ordinance MC-1656 in December 2025, says no person may collect or dispose of construction and demolition waste in the City without a City franchise agreement and makes it unlawful to collect or transport solid waste without being a franchised hauler. The main exceptions are a licensed contractor self-hauling its own job-site debris in its own equipment under a City self-haul permit, and residents hauling their own household waste. Book a bin through Burrtec at (909) 804-4222.

Does my home remodel need a construction waste plan?

Usually not for an ordinary house. Under § 8.24.100 as amended by Ordinance MC-1656, projects still have to divert 65% of their debris, but single-family homes of up to four units, projects under $100,000 and roofing jobs without tear-off are exempt from the diversion deposit, the administrative fee and the Waste Management Plan. Larger projects file the plan with Public Works (201 North E Street, 2nd floor) before the building permit is issued. If Burrtec hauls the debris, only page 1 of the plan is needed, and Burrtec supplies the diversion report used for the deposit refund.
