Dumpster rental
in Tustin.

Inside Tustin city limits, book a temporary bin or roll-off from CR&R, the City's contracted hauler, rather than an outside dumpster company. Use the four free bulky-item pickups first if you only have furniture or appliances. Before the box arrives, ask how the City's rule on screening trash containers from view applies on your driveway, and get Engineering's approval for any street placement.

The first decision in Tustin

Check the city boundary first.

There is one provider, so the choice is about load type and size, not company. CR&R prices each box per pull by what goes in it: from July 2026 a 40-yard box is $584.92 for source-separated C&D and $785.28 for mixed trash, while a 10-yard box is $662.59 and $899.52, so the larger box is cheaper on the rate sheet. Seven days are included, then $13.57 a day; overweight loads cost $73.27 a ton. Your real alternatives are the free bulky pickups or a self-haul trip to Olinda Alpha or Prima Deshecha.

Your local checklist

Check that the parcel is inside the City of Tustin and not unincorporated North Tustin or Lemon Heights, or Santa Ana, Irvine or Orange, which share Tustin-area mailing addresses but follow other hauling rules.
Call CR&R at (714) 372-8272, say whether the load is source-separated C&D, recycling or mixed trash, and get the included tonnage and pickup date in writing, since the price and the $13.57 daily fee after seven days depend on both.
If the work has a building, demolition or grading permit, file the Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan through Green Halo before the permit is issued and keep every CR&R weight ticket for the deposit refund.

Published details, side by side

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

CR&R Incorporated (City of Tustin contracted hauler)

Published sizes: City rate sheets list temporary 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-yard bins and 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-off boxes; the July 2026 residential notice shows prices for the 3-yard bin and the 10- and 40-yard roll-offs.
Rental & weight terms: Each temporary bin or roll-off is priced per pull, and the price depends on the load type: source-separated recycling, source-separated construction and demolition (C&D) debris, or trash-route (mixed) material. The base rate covers seven days; from July 1, 2026 each extra day costs $13.57 for a roll-off or $5.80 for a 2- to 6-yard bin. Overweight loads cost $73.27 a ton. The temporary-box table does not state how many tons are included, so ask CR&R for the weight allowance in writing. The FY 2025-26 schedule also lists a $97.60 dry-run charge.
Price basis: Residential temporary rates effective July 1, 2026 (City of Tustin notice): 3-yard bin $64.97 recycling, $100.42 source-separated C&D, $130.15 trash; 10-yard roll-off $662.59 source-separated C&D, $899.52 trash; 40-yard roll-off $360.29 recycling, $584.92 source-separated C&D, $785.28 trash. The notice lists the 10-yard recycling rate as $86.30, which looks like a misprint; confirm it with CR&R. The 20- and 30-yard roll-offs appear only on the FY 2025-26 schedule (mixed C&D or trash $502.44 and $573.39 per pull) and have probably been adjusted since.

Order through CR&R customer service at (714) 372-8272; the City's construction and demolition page says temporary containers for a project can be ordered there. The City's construction-waste packet lists the CR&R transfer station at 11232 Knott Avenue, Stanton, and calls CR&R the City's trash hauler. CR&R's own Tustin web pages did not load as readable text for us, so the prices above come from City-published rate documents.

Keep the CR&R box on your driveway for as short a time as possible; the street needs an encroachment permit

Tustin's Engineering Division issues encroachment permits for the public right-of-way, applied for through the City's Citizen Self Service portal (engineering@tustinca.org, 714-573-3150). The City's Public Right-of-Way Encroachment & Construction Permit application is written for contractors: it asks for a California contractor license, a City business license and a certificate of insurance with $1 million in general liability naming the City as additional insured. We found no Tustin form, fee or time limit written for parking a roll-off or bin in the street, so treat street placement as needing Engineering's approval before delivery. On private property, the City's code-enforcement FAQ says all trash containers, residential and commercial, must be shielded from view within a building or an area enclosed by a wall at least 6 feet high, and must not go out to the curb earlier than 24 hours before collection. The FAQ does not exempt a temporary roll-off, so a box left in view on a driveway could draw a code-enforcement complaint: book only the days the job needs, place it as far back on the driveway as it will fit, and ask CR&R or the City's Code Enforcement staff if the job will run longer than a week.

What matters locally

Four free bulky-item pickups a year from CR&R, four items each

Single-family homes in Tustin get up to four bulky-item collections a calendar year from CR&R at no extra cost, and each collection takes up to four items such as furniture, appliances, toilets, tools and tires. Call CR&R at (714) 372-8272 to book. The City's July 2026 rate notice prices a fifth or later pickup at $36.93 and collects refrigerators and other Freon items free. Single-family customers may also schedule a free pickup of bundled recyclables or flattened cardboard. Apartment and condo residents go through their property manager, since CR&R books only at the account holder's request and charges multifamily complexes per pickup. For a few large items, this is cheaper than any box.

Free household hazardous waste drop-off in Irvine; public landfill loads from $15

Paint, solvents, batteries and pool chemicals cannot go in a CR&R box. OC Waste & Recycling takes household hazardous waste free from Orange County residents at four centers; the closest to Tustin is 6411 Oak Canyon in Irvine, with others in Anaheim, Huntington Beach and San Juan Capistrano. They are open Tuesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed on major holidays and in rain, and limit each trip to 15 gallons or 125 pounds with no container over five gallons. If you haul debris yourself, only the Olinda Alpha and Prima Deshecha landfills take public loads; the July 2026 to June 2027 fees start at $15 for a car load under 360 pounds and $30 for a pickup under 880 pounds, then $92.70 a ton. The nearby Frank R. Bowerman landfill does not accept the public.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Tustin.

Can I hire any dumpster company for my Tustin house?

Plan on CR&R. The City's July 2025 rate notice says City Code Section 4312 requires every occupied property to arrange trash service with the City's franchise holder, and the City's multifamily page describes CR&R's services for residential, multifamily and commercial accounts as exclusive. The City's construction-waste packet says that, unless you haul it yourself, permit holders must use the City's contract hauler for material going to a landfill. The City's own rate sheets set CR&R's temporary bin and roll-off prices, and its construction and demolition page tells applicants to order temporary containers from CR&R.

Does my remodel need a recycling plan for the debris?

Usually, if it needs a permit. Tustin requires a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan, filed through Green Halo, before it issues a building, demolition, grading or landscape permit, and covered projects must divert at least 65% of their construction and demolition waste. The City collects a refundable deposit, plus a $242 application fee when a deposit applies, and refunds it after the Building Division signs off and you show the diversion with weight tickets. The City's packet says hauling everything with CR&R counts as automatic compliance because CR&R processes its C&D loads to pull out recyclables, but you still pay the deposit.
