Dumpster rental
in Vacaville.

In Vacaville the question is which Recology box, not which company. The City's recycling site says Recology Vacaville Solano holds an exclusive franchise for all garbage services, and Recology posts City-limits debris-box prices starting at $560.64 for a 20-yard box over four days. Use the free yearly curbside cleanup or Hay Road pass for small jobs, and book a box only when the pile outgrows them.

The first decision in Vacaville

Check the city boundary first.

There is one provider to price, so compare box sizes and material type instead of companies. A standard 20-yard box is $560.64 and a 40-yard is $978.77, while the same sizes cost about $247 more on the construction-and-demolition rate; clean untreated wood has its own low rate. Every box includes four days, with $48.11 for each extra day. Recology does not publish its weight limit or overweight fee, so get both in writing before you fill a box with roofing, tile or dirt.

Your local checklist

Check that your parcel is inside Vacaville city limits and not in unincorporated Solano County near Elmira, Allendale or Pleasants Valley, since Recology's posted debris-box rates apply only to customers inside the City.
Order from Recology Vacaville Solano (707-448-2945), tell them whether the load is household cleanout, construction debris or clean wood so the right rate applies, and ask for the weight limit and overweight charge in writing.
Book delivery so the work fits the four included days, plan for the box on your driveway, and call the City's Public Works Engineering Division before asking Recology to set it on the street.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Recology Vacaville Solano (City of Vacaville exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: Open debris boxes of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 cubic yards on the debris-box page; the City-limits rate table also lists a 45-yard box. The 20-yard box is listed at 18 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high. Dirt and concrete go only in the 20-yard box, filled to about one-third because of weight.
Rental & weight terms: Rates cover four days, not counting the delivery and pickup days; each additional day is $48.11. A same-day or relocation charge is $240.41. All rentals need a service contract and pre-payment before delivery. Boxes over the weight limit carry extra charges, but the weight limit itself is not published. Load evenly and no higher than the rim; no liquids, appliances, tires, e-waste, hazardous or toxic materials.
Price basis: Rates effective 1/1/26 for customers inside Vacaville city limits (standard / C&D): 20 yd $560.64 / $807.70; 25 yd $687.92 / $935.02; 30 yd $789.88 / $1,037.01; 35 yd $896.93 / $1,144.05; 40 yd $978.77 / $1,225.93; 45 yd $1,047.15 / $1,294.32.

The City's Vacaville Recycling site says the City has an exclusive franchise agreement with Recology Vacaville Solano and that it gives Recology the exclusive right to provide all garbage services, citing City ordinance 8.08.040. Recology's rate page says its rates apply only to Vacaville customers inside city limits. Recology's customer service office is at 1 Town Square Place, Suite 200, Vacaville (Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; 707-448-2945); boxes can be requested by phone or through its online debris-box quote form.

Plan for the driveway; ask the City before a Recology box goes on the street

Recology's debris-box order form lets you choose a driveway, yard or public street location and warns that a city permit may be required for a box on a public street. We did not find a City of Vacaville page that sets the cost, length or notice for a street permit, so call the Public Works Engineering Division before booking. The smallest Recology box is 20 cubic yards, so measure your driveway first: most Vacaville tract homes have room, but older lots near downtown and townhouse courts may not. Lay boards under the rails to protect concrete, keep the box off the sidewalk, and if you live in Leisure Town or another planned community, check your association's rules on containers before delivery.

What matters locally

One free curbside cleanup and one free Hay Road landfill pass each year

Recology's Residential Cleanup Program lets Vacaville households book one curbside collection a year, choosing either two bulky items, two cubic yards of bagged or boxed material, or three e-waste items; a mattress and box spring count as one item. Schedule at least a day before your regular pickup day, set the items next to your gray cart and tape a note marked 'RCP' to one of them. Construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and auto parts are not taken. Residential customers also get one free self-haul pass a year for up to two yards or 1,000 pounds at Recology's Hay Road Landfill (6426 Hay Road; open daily 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), requested by calling 707-448-2945. For a single couch or an old fridge, this beats paying for a 20-yard box.

Free Saturday hazardous-waste drop-off on Davis Street

Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent tubes and similar items cannot go in a debris box. The household hazardous waste facility at 855 1/2 Davis Street takes them free from Vacaville, Dixon and unincorporated Solano County residents on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with no appointment; bring photo ID and proof of residence such as a Recology bill. State law limits each trip to 15 gallons or 125 pounds, in containers of five gallons or less. The same site takes mattresses and carpet on Saturdays. Tires, ammunition, large appliances and ordinary garbage are not accepted there.

Questions about renting in Vacaville.

Can I hire any dumpster company for my Vacaville house?

Plan on Recology. The City's Vacaville Recycling site says Vacaville has an exclusive franchise agreement with Recology Vacaville Solano that grants it the exclusive right to provide all garbage services, and refers to City ordinance 8.08.040 for details.

Each additional day costs $48.11, and moving the box or same-day service is $240.41. Rentals require a signed service contract and payment before delivery.
