Texas / 26 researched city guides

Find a dumpster
in Texas.

Plan a rental inside the city limits of Houston, San Antonio and Fort Worth. Each Texas city writes its own hauling rules: Houston franchises haulers only for commercial properties and needs an obstruction permit for any bin in the street, San Antonio keeps weekly household garbage for the City but lets permitted haulers deliver roll-offs, and Fort Worth requires every hauler to hold a City privilege agreement and caps a home dumpster at 30 days without a building permit. Compare published prices, included days and tonnage, then check the city rule before booking.

Guide collection updated November 14, 2026 · How we research

Check the city's hauler and placement rule, then price.

Houston's franchise covers commercial pickups, not houses; San Antonio requires a City hauler vehicle permit; Fort Worth publishes its list of approved haulers and limits home dumpsters to 30 days unless tied to a building permit. Each guide covers the city's drop-off sites and which suppliers publish their terms.

These guides cover the communities listed below. Check your exact delivery address; a mailing address alone may not identify the authority responsible for placement.

1 researched optionAllen

Inside Allen city limits, order a roll-off from Community Waste Disposal: the City says temporary roll-off and open-top construction containers must be ordered through CWD and other collection companies are prohibited by ordinance. Ask CWD for a written quote, because it publishes sizes and weight caps but no prices or rental terms.

2 researched optionsBryan

Bryan's own crews take carts, brush and up to 22 cubic yards of bulky items a week, so many clean-outs need no bin at all. Book a roll-off for remodeling, roofing or demolition debris, which the City will not collect, and choose the company from the City's Permitted Roll-Off Providers list.

Read the Bryan guide
3 researched optionsCollege Station

Inside College Station, the City handles household trash, brush and bulky items but leaves roll-offs and construction debris to private companies on its Franchised Haulers list. Rent a bin for remodel or contractor debris, roofing, or a move-out clean-out too big for weekly bulky pickup, and pick a hauler from the City's list.

1 researched optionDenton

Inside Denton city limits, City Code § 24-3 makes the City's solid waste department the only lawful hauler, so a roll-off for a house comes from Denton Solid Waste & Recycling, not a private company. Up to 4 cubic yards of remodel debris can go to scheduled curbside pickup for a per-yard fee; above that, order a City container or haul it to the landfill.

Read the Denton guide
1 researched optionDeSoto

For a DeSoto address, do not book a roll-off from an outside company: the City code reserves solid waste collection, including temporary roll-off construction containers, to the City and its franchised contractor, Republic Services. Call the Action Center to set up a container, and use the 3-yard weekly set-out or the 10-yard monthly bulk pickup for smaller cleanouts.

Read the DeSoto guide
1 researched optionEdinburg

Inside Edinburg city limits, order a roll-off from the City's Department of Solid Waste Management, the only lawful provider under City Code § 51.2, at a posted flat fee that includes disposal plus $3 a day. Book one for any remodel, roofing or demolition debris, which the monthly brush and bulk pickup will not touch.

Read the Edinburg guide
1 researched optionFlower Mound

Inside Flower Mound Town limits, order a roll-off from Republic Services, the Town's franchised hauler; Town building packets say renovation and construction dumpsters must come from Republic. For a smaller cleanout, try the weekly 4-yard bulk pickup, a paid special pickup or your free monthly 10-yard Camelot Landfill trip before renting a bin.

Read the Flower Mound guide
2 researched optionsFort Worth

Inside Fort Worth's city limits, any company on the City's Grant of Privilege list can deliver a roll-off to your house; the City does not rent them itself. Book one for contractor debris, shingles or concrete, which bulk pickup and the drop-off stations will not take. A small do-it-yourself load can go free to a drop-off station once a month.

Read the Fort Worth guide
2 researched optionsFrisco

Inside Frisco city limits, book a roll-off through the City, not a private company: Environmental Services and its contractor Waste Connections are the only permitted provider of temporary open-top containers. Use the 6-yard Rent-a-Bin for household clean-outs and the construction service (with a $1,000 deposit) for remodel, roofing or demolition debris.

Read the Frisco guide
2 researched optionsGalveston

Inside Galveston city limits, the City collects household trash, but roll-offs come from private companies holding a City temporary-hauler permit. Pick one from the City's current Authorized Temporary Hauler list, keep the container on your own lot, and use the free monthly 1,000-pound transfer-station trip for small loads.

Read the Galveston guide
3 researched optionsGarland

In Garland, any roll-off company you hire must hold a City franchise agreement, and the City itself also rents 20- to 40-yard roll-offs to homes with a 30-foot paved driveway. Rent a bin when the job outgrows weekly bulky pickup (roofing, concrete, or more than four remodeling pickups a year) or you cannot haul loads to the Commerce Street transfer station yourself.

Read the Garland guide
1 researched optionHarlingen

In Harlingen, a roll-off at a house comes from the City: Public Works rents 30- to 40-yard open-tops and its FAQ says an ordinance makes the City the exclusive source. Rent one for remodel, roofing or clean-out debris the garbage carts refuse; for a pickup load, the East Harrison transfer station is cheaper.

Read the Harlingen guide
3 researched optionsHouston

Inside Houston city limits, any roll-off company may serve a house, apartment or condo; only commercial properties need a City-franchised hauler. Rent a bin when heavy trash will not take the job (contractor work, shingles, concrete, more than 8 cubic yards) or you cannot wait two months for pickup. Keep it on your driveway, or plan for a Public Works obstruction permit.

Read the Houston guide
1 researched optionKyle

Inside Kyle city limits, book a roll-off from Texas Disposal Systems; the City's agreement gives TDS exclusive rights to temporary roll-offs, construction and demolition included. For a small cleanout, use one of your two 3-yard bulky pickups or the free monthly 5-yard trip to the TDS landfill before renting a bin.

Read the Kyle guide
1 researched optionLeague City

For remodel, roofing or demolition debris at a League City home, start with the route the City publishes: order a roll-off from Hill Sand Inc. (281-482-1213), AmeriWaste's approved subcontractor. Curbside heavy trash will not take construction waste, so a small job means a paid dumpster-bag pickup or a monthly self-haul to AmeriWaste on Highway 6.

1 researched optionMansfield

Inside Mansfield city limits, book a roll-off through Frontier/GFL, the only hauler the City currently franchises under Chapter 50. Its rates are on the City's own rate sheet. Small DIY renovation loads can go to the monthly drop-off at the Environmental Collection Center instead.

Read the Mansfield guide
1 researched optionMesquite

In Mesquite you rent a roll-off from the City, not a private company: Solid Waste says it is the sole hauler for homes and businesses, and only City-authorized containers are allowed. Use a City open-top for remodel or roofing debris and anything over 30 yards; use curbside bulky pickup, a Cost Plus load or the Convenience Center for smaller clean-outs.

Read the Mesquite guide
1 researched optionMidland

Inside Midland city limits, the Municipal Code reserves trash collection at homes to the City's solid waste division unless the City approves otherwise, so rent the City's own 30-yard construction container through Solid Waste. Use free alley bulky pickup for furniture and appliances, and the container for remodel debris, which the alley service will not take.

Read the Midland guide
2 researched optionsNew Braunfels

Inside New Braunfels city limits, the City's own dumpster rental program is suspended and roll-off rentals go through private haulers that hold City permits, so choose a company from the City's permitted-hauler list. Rent one when the job produces remodel, roofing or demolition debris, which carts, bulky pickup and drop-off days all refuse, and keep it on your own lot.

Read the New Braunfels guide
1 researched optionNorth Richland Hills

In North Richland Hills, the City’s FAQ says temporary roll-offs must be arranged through its garbage hauling vendor, Republic Services (817-317-2085), and that other vendors are prohibited, so book with Republic. Small furniture and appliance clean-outs may fit Republic’s bulk pickup instead.

Read the North Richland Hills guide
1 researched optionPearland

In Pearland city limits, book a roll-off through the City's exclusive solid waste contractor, Frontier Waste Solutions (now GFL): City Code § 12-61 bars other companies from placing roll-offs without a City contract. Use a container for any remodel, roofing or demolition debris, since weekly bulk pickup stops at about 2 cubic yards and refuses construction waste.

Read the Pearland guide
1 researched optionRowlett

For a roll-off at a house inside Rowlett city limits, call Republic Services. The City lists it as the only permitted temporary waste hauler and says it holds exclusive rights. For a smaller job, compare that quote with your two free Hinton Landfill trips or a paid Republic special bulk pickup.

Read the Rowlett guide
2 researched optionsSan Antonio

Inside San Antonio city limits, the City's twice-yearly bulky pickup and four Bulky Waste Collection Centers handle furniture and a cubic yard of lumber, not a kitchen gut or a roof. For that, rent from a private company and ask whether its trucks hold the City's commercial hauler permit. Keep the bin on your driveway; a container in a City street or sidewalk falls under Public Works' Lane/Sidewalk Closure permit process.

Read the San Antonio guide
2 researched optionsSan Marcos

San Marcos house customers get four 3-cubic-yard bulk pickups a year plus monthly brush and seasonal clean-up drop-offs, so a small purge may not need a bin. For remodels, roofing or a whole-house clean-out, rent a roll-off from a company on the City's permitted hauler list and plan for it to sit on your driveway, since the code keeps containers out of the street.

Read the San Marcos guide
1 researched optionSherman

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.

Read the Sherman guide
1 researched optionTemple

In Temple city limits, start with the City's own roll-off service: Chapter 15 of the City Code requires a City franchise for anyone else to collect refuse, and private construction-waste hauling is limited to registered firms that are also cleaning up a residential construction job. The City posts its roll-off rates, so you can price a bin before you call.
