Dumpster rental
in Stockton.

Inside Stockton city limits, start with the company that empties your carts: Republic Services for gray cart bodies, WM for green. Both offer 3-day 4-yard and 20-yard bins at City-set prices. For a bigger roll-off or a remodel load, hire a hauler on the City's permitted C&D list. Keep the box on your driveway unless Engineering approves a street spot.

The first decision in Stockton

Start with an eligible hauler.

The real price comparison in Stockton is between the City-set bins and quoted roll-offs. A 3-day 4-yard bin is $250.60 and a 3-day 20-yard bin is $350.87 in 2026, the same from Republic or WM, but you book with whichever company serves your street. Larger 30- and 40-yard roll-offs and longer rentals are quoted, not published. WM's Stockton page lists 15- to 30-yard boxes and flexible rental lengths, while Republic's pages do not describe its roll-off sizes. Get days and weight limits in writing from either.

Your local checklist

Confirm the parcel is inside Stockton City limits and not one of the County pockets that share Stockton addresses, then check your cart body color: gray means Republic Services, green means WM.
For a cleanout of household junk, ask your cart hauler for the City-rate 3-day 4-yard or 20-yard bin first; for remodel or roofing debris, use a hauler on the City's permitted C&D and industrial list, and file the C&D recycling plan if your project has a building permit.
If the box cannot fit on your driveway, call City Engineering (209-937-8366) before delivery about an encroachment permit, a traffic control plan and the hauler's insurance certificate.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Republic Services of Stockton (City contract hauler for gray-cart neighborhoods; City-permitted industrial and C&D waste collector)

Published sizes: For houses it serves, the City rate schedule lists a 4-cubic-yard bin and a 20-cubic-yard bin, each dropped off and removed within 3 days. For multifamily and commercial customers the schedule lists 20-, 30- and 40-yard open-top drop boxes.
Rental & weight terms: Residential bins: 3 days, delivery and removal included; included weight is not stated. Drop boxes (multifamily and commercial rates): $342.92 per haul plus $95.09 a ton for solid waste disposal. Ask whether a remodel roll-off at a house is priced on the drop-box rates or quoted separately, and get the weight terms in writing.
Price basis: City-set 2026 residential rates: 4-yard bin $250.60; 20-yard bin $350.87. Larger roll-offs for houses: not published; request a written quote (industrial and C&D line 209-466-5192; residential 209-466-3604).

Republic's Stockton office and yard is at 1145 W. Charter Way, Stockton, CA 95206, inside the city. It collects carts in the neighborhoods with gray cart bodies, so if your cart body is gray, Republic is the company for a City-rate bin. The City lists it as a permitted C&D and industrial waste hauler. Its Stockton web pages we read describe cart and commercial dumpster service but do not mention roll-offs, so call to confirm sizes and availability.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management) Stockton (City contract hauler for green-cart neighborhoods; City-permitted industrial and C&D waste collector)

Published sizes: Its Stockton dumpster page lists 15-yard (for concrete and asphalt), 20-yard and 30-yard roll-offs, while the same page's FAQ mentions 20, 30 and 40 yards. For houses it serves, the City rate schedule also lists the 3-day 4-yard and 20-yard bins.
Rental & weight terms: WM's page offers flexible daily, weekly and monthly rentals but publishes no included days, weight allowance or overage charges, and says permit costs are usually extra. City-rate residential bins: 3 days, weight not stated.
Price basis: City-set 2026 residential rates: 4-yard bin $250.60; 20-yard bin $350.87. WM roll-off prices are not published; the page says rates depend on debris type, size, rental length and options (temporary dumpster line 855-548-7013; Stockton residential 209-946-5711; commercial and industrial 209-946-5721).

WM's own City of Stockton commercial service guide gives its local office as 1240 Navy Drive, Stockton, CA 95206, near the Port. It collects carts in the neighborhoods with green cart bodies, so green-cart households book City-rate bins with WM. The City lists WM as a permitted C&D and industrial waste hauler. Its Stockton dumpster page describes home cleanouts and remodels as typical uses.

Keep the bin on your driveway; anything placed in a City street needs an encroachment permit

We did not find a Stockton page or form written specifically for dumpsters or roll-offs in the street. The City's Engineering page says any work performed in the public right-of-way requires an encroachment permit, and it lists construction or staging that needs traffic or pedestrian control among its examples. The application is filed by email to CDDEngineering@stocktonca.gov or at the Permit Center, 501 W. Weber Ave., Building 2, first floor (Engineering 209-937-8366). It needs a certificate of insurance on file with the City Risk Manager, a site-specific traffic or pedestrian control plan, a City business license for every contractor, and payment of a base permit fee and security deposit, whose amounts are not printed on the form. Once a permit is issued, the permittee must call the Permit Engineer for a control number 24 to 72 hours before work starts. Most Stockton houses, from mid-century ranch homes to newer north Stockton tracts, have a driveway long enough for a 20-yard box, which avoids all of this; ask Engineering before putting any bin at the curb, and put boards under it to protect the driveway.

Clean Sweep: one free 3-cubic-yard bulky pickup a year, February to October

Houses, duplexes and triplexes inside City limits get one free Clean Sweep pickup a year, by appointment, between February and October. The pile may be up to 3 cubic yards (no more than 3 feet high, 9 feet long and 3 feet wide), with a bulky-waste charge for each extra cubic yard; piles over 10 cubic yards are not taken and go to Code Enforcement. Book at least two weeks ahead with your own hauler: Republic Services at (209) 466-3604 for gray carts or WM at (209) 946-5711 for green carts. Set the pile in the street in front of the home the evening before, away from cars. Furniture, mattresses, carpet, appliances, TVs and computer monitors, up to six 30-gallon bags and up to five tires off the rim are accepted; everything loose must be bagged or boxed in 40-pound or lighter bags or boxes. Dirt, rock, concrete, engine parts, car batteries and hazardous waste are refused. The City's 2026 rate schedule lists further on-call bulky pickups at $29.49 per cubic yard.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Stockton.

Can any dumpster company drop a roll-off at my Stockton house?

No. City Code § 8.04.240, as the City summarizes it, makes it unlawful to collect discarded materials or industrial waste in Stockton without City authorization, and § 8.28.050 lets only a holder of a City Industrial Waste Collector Permit haul construction and demolition debris (a contractor may self-haul its own job debris with its own trucks). Household carts and City-rate bins come from the contract hauler for your neighborhood, Republic Services or WM. For C&D, the City's Industrial Services page names four permitted haulers: Cal-Waste, GreenWaste, Republic Services and WM. Permits carry an 18.5% City fee on gross revenue plus a 5% AB 939 fee, which shows up in quoted prices.

Is there a cheaper option than a full roll-off for a small cleanout?

Often, yes. Every City-served house gets one free Clean Sweep pickup a year of up to 3 cubic yards, booked at least two weeks ahead with your hauler, and extra on-call bulky pickups are $29.49 per cubic yard under the 2026 rate schedule. For more than that, the City-set 4-yard bin is $250.60 for three days, delivery and removal included. If you have a pickup truck, the County's Lovelace transfer station charges $78.78 a ton, with low flat minimums for small loads and free drop-off for some appliances, tires and mattresses for County residents.
