Texas / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Temple.

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.

The first decision in Temple

Check the city boundary first.

The City is the one roll-off source we could confirm as lawful for a homeowner. Its pricing is unbundled: a cheap daily or monthly rental, then $75 delivery, $160 per pull and $34.07 for every ton, so a heavy roofing or concrete load costs far more than a light furniture cleanout. If a private company offers a Temple bin, ask it in writing whether it holds a City of Temple franchise.

Your local checklist

Confirm your address is inside Temple city limits, not Belton or unincorporated Bell County, before relying on the City's roll-off service.
Call the Solid Waste Division (254-298-5725) for a 20-, 30- or 40-yard roll-off and ask about the $300 deposit, the $75 delivery and $160 pull charges, and the per-ton landfill charge.
Pick a spot on your driveway or lot for a 22-foot container, since City Code bars refuse and lumber from streets and alleys, and check your HOA's deed restrictions.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

City of Temple Solid Waste Division (City roll-off service)

Published sizes: 20-yard (22 x 8 x 4.5 ft), 30-yard (22 x 8 x 6 ft 1 in) and 40-yard (22 x 8 x 7 ft 8 in) open-top roll-offs
Rental & weight terms: Billed as rental plus service charges: $75 delivery per container, $160 per pull, landfill weight charged at $34.07 per ton, $75 for a failed request or return trip, $75 relocation. No rental period or included tonnage is stated; weight is billed by the ton from the first ton. A $300 deposit may be required for new accounts. All charges are subject to 8.25% tax and billed monthly.
Price basis: Rental $5.00 per day for any size, or monthly rates of $125 (20-yard), $130 (30-yard) and $150 (40-yard), plus the delivery, pull and per-ton charges above.

Call 254-298-5725 (Garbage & Recycling) to order. The rates are listed on the City's Commercial Garbage page, but the City's residential trash page tells homeowners to request a roll-off for construction and remodeling material, and City Code § 15-7 says such refuse is not picked up by City trucks except as part of the roll-off system. The Division runs ten roll-off trucks. City Hall is at 2 N Main Street, Temple, TX 76501.

Keep the bin off the street; no Temple dumpster-in-the-street permit found

We did not find a City of Temple permit, fee or time limit for placing a roll-off in a street or alley. City Code § 15-16 makes it unlawful to place, store or abandon garbage, lumber, junk, refuse, furniture, appliances, leaves or brush in any alley or on any street, and § 15-11 bars commercial containers from the street right-of-way, so plan for the container to sit on your driveway or another spot on your own lot. That is our reading of the Code, not a City statement about roll-offs, so if your lot cannot take a 22-foot container, ask the Solid Waste Division (254-298-5725) where it can go before you book. Many Temple subdivisions have deed restrictions; check your HOA's rules on containers in view.

What matters locally

Six cubic yards of brush or bulk a month, scheduled ahead

Temple residents schedule brush or bulky-item pickup online (ttxconnect.com) or through Customer Care at 254-298-5000, then set the items at the front curb. Up to 6 cubic yards of brush and 6 cubic yards of bulky items a month are collected at no extra cost; a load over 6 and up to 12 cubic yards adds $65 to the utility bill, and anything over 12 cubic yards needs a roll-off. Construction, fencing, roofing, building, remodeling and demolition materials are not part of regular residential collection; the City says to request a roll-off for them.

Temple Landfill: one free pickup load of household waste a month

The City landfill at 706 Landfill Road is operated by Waste Management under a lease with the City, and Waste Management sets the tipping fees. Temple residents who show a paid City utility bill with the residential garbage charge may bring one pickup-truck load of ordinary household waste a month without charge. That free load does not cover remodeling, demolition or construction materials, which pay the regular tipping fee, and uncovered loads can draw a surcharge, so tarp the truck.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Temple.

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

Not freely. City Code § 15-10(b) makes it unlawful for anyone other than the City's Solid Waste Division to collect garbage or refuse in Temple without a franchise agreement with the City. Section 15-10(d) lets private firms haul construction waste only if they register with the Director of Solid Waste Services and are also doing the cleanup on a residential construction or demolition job, and that debris must go to the City landfill or another site the Director designates. For a homeowner's cleanout or remodel, the City's own roll-off service is the clear option; ask any private company whether it holds a City franchise.

How much is a City of Temple roll-off?

The City lists $5 a day for any size, or $125, $130 and $150 a month for the 20-, 30- and 40-yard containers. On top of that come a $75 delivery fee, $160 each time the container is pulled and $34.07 per ton of landfill weight, plus 8.25% tax, and new accounts may owe a $300 deposit. No included tonnage is listed, so every ton you load is billed.
