Dumpster rental
in Sherman.

Inside Sherman city limits, order a roll-off from the City's Solid Waste & Recycling office, because the City's rate schedule says every roll-off in the city must be placed and hauled by the City. For a single bulky load, the free monthly bulk pickup or the residents-only drop-off center on South East Street may be cheaper.

The first decision in Sherman

Check the city boundary first.

There is only one lawful roll-off provider for a Sherman house, so the real comparison is the City container against the City's own cheaper options. A 20-yard City roll-off costs $57 delivery plus $368.55 per haul with 5 tons included and no rent for 15 days, plus a $330.75 deposit (the schedule does not say how it is returned); the 30- and 40-yard sizes cost more per haul. The free monthly 5-yard bulk pickup and the drop-off center ($12 for the first 2 cubic yards) suit small cleanouts, but neither takes shingles or rubble from bulk pickup, and the drop-off center is closed to contractors.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Sherman, not Denison, Howe, Pottsboro or unincorporated Grayson County, before relying on these rules.
Call Sherman Solid Waste at 903-892-7261 to open a roll-off account, ask the current deposit, and have your building permit number ready if the job is permitted.
Schedule the pull within 15 days and before 2 p.m. on a weekday to avoid monthly rent and the after-hours fee, and keep the load under 5 tons.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

City of Sherman Solid Waste & Recycling (Commercial Waste Services)

Published sizes: 20-, 30- and 40-cubic-yard open-top roll-offs for trash; 30- and 40-yard open-tops for recycling. The City does not provide compactors.
Rental & weight terms: On-call service: you call for each haul. Each haul charge includes 5 tons; weight over 5 tons is billed at the current landfill rate ($47.60 per ton on the schedule), and a roll-off hauled at more than 15 tons carries an overweight fee of twice the landfill rate. No rent for the first 15 days; monthly rent of $79.80 starts on the 16th day after delivery, renews on the first of each month until the container is removed, and is not prorated. A container not hauled in more than 30 days is charged a $315 stagnant-container fee. Hauls requested between 2 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays or at any time on weekends carry a $169.05 after-hours fee, and a reset or trip costs $57. Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, oil and fuel, appliances with refrigerant and anything the TCEQ or the landfill prohibits may not go in. A new account needs a signed application and service agreement and a deposit paid to City utility billing.
Price basis: Per the City's roll-off rate schedule effective October 1, 2026: 20-yard trash $57 delivery, $330.75 deposit, $368.55 per haul; 30-yard trash $57 delivery, $386.40 deposit, $481.95 per haul; 40-yard trash $57 delivery, $441.00 deposit, $590.10 per haul; monthly rental $79.80 after the first 15 days. Recycling open-tops: 30-yard $185.85 and 40-yard $259.35 per haul.

The City's roll-off rate schedule says that per city ordinance all roll-off containers placed within the city limits must be placed and hauled by the City of Sherman, so this is the only roll-off provider for a Sherman house. Office and drop-off center at 811 S. East Street, Sherman (903-892-7261). Service is set up through the Commercial Solid Waste Application and Service Agreement, which covers residential properties too (those with a building permit must give the permit number); the Bulk & Brush page tells contractors working at a residence to set up commercial trash service at that location. The form asks for a business tax ID, so homeowners doing a cleanout should call the office to open an account. There is no 10- or 15-yard size.

The City sets the container; ask Solid Waste about any spot off your lot

Because Sherman's own crews deliver and pull every roll-off in the city, you arrange placement with the Solid Waste & Recycling office (903-892-7261, weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.) rather than with a private company. Neither the City's solid waste pages nor its roll-off rate schedule say whether a roll-off may sit in a street or alley, and no City dumpster-in-the-street permit was found, so do not assume the street is allowed; plan for a driveway or a firm, level spot on your own lot that a roll-off truck can reach, and ask the office before agreeing to anything else. The City's service agreement makes the customer responsible for keeping access clear, warns that an inaccessible or overloaded container can bring a trip charge (the rate schedule lists a $57 reset/trip fee), and says the City is not responsible for pavement damage from its trucks or containers. If the job has a building permit, the application asks for the permit number.

What matters locally

One free on-demand bulk and brush pickup a month

Sherman's bulk and brush collection is now request-based rather than scheduled by area. Each residence with an active City utility account can ask for one pickup a month of up to 5 cubic yards of bulk waste plus a pile of brush, through the City of Sherman app, the City website or the bulk waste line at 903-892-7777; set the items at the curb before you call. Concrete, shingles, dirt, rock and rubble, tires, batteries, liquids and household hazardous waste are not taken, brush must be no more than 6 feet long and 12 inches thick, and appliances with Freon need it removed and tagged first. Extra paid bulk or brush pickups cost $22 per cubic yard with an $88 minimum. Because shingles and rubble are excluded, a reroof or a tear-out needs a container.

Residents-only drop-off center on South East Street

The Residential Drop-Off Center at 811 S. East Street is open Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bring a driver's license and a current Sherman water bill. Loose material, lumber and brush included, is charged by volume: $12 for up to 2 cubic yards and $6 for each additional cubic yard, with tires $4 off the rim or $7 on, appliances $6 and car batteries $4; an unsecured load costs $22 extra, so tarp the trailer. Recyclables (clean paper, cardboard kept separate, cans and #1 and #2 plastics) are taken too. Contractors and commercial accounts may not use the center, and hazardous materials are refused.

Questions about renting in Sherman.

Can I rent a dumpster from a private company for my Sherman house?

Not inside the city limits, according to the City. Sherman's roll-off rate schedule states that, per city ordinance, all roll-off containers placed within the city limits must be placed and hauled by the City of Sherman, and the City's commercial page describes it as the exclusive provider of commercial waste service. Many outside companies and broker sites advertise Sherman, but for an address inside the City, order through Solid Waste & Recycling at 903-892-7261. Addresses outside the city limits are not covered by this rule.

What does a City roll-off actually cost for a short project?

For a 20-yard trash container, the rate schedule lists a $57 delivery fee, a $330.75 deposit and $368.55 per haul, which includes 5 tons; weight over 5 tons is billed at the landfill rate, $47.60 a ton on the current schedule. Monthly rent of $79.80 only starts on the 16th day after delivery, so a job finished and pulled within 15 days avoids it. A 30-yard haul is $481.95 and a 40-yard is $590.10. Hauls requested after 2 p.m. on weekdays or on weekends add $169.05, and a return trip costs $57.
