Dumpster rental
in Vallejo.

Inside Vallejo city limits, a debris box at your house comes from Recology Vallejo, which the City names as the only company permitted to provide debris box service. Use the four free bulky pickups first for furniture and appliances, or self-haul to Devlin Road, and keep the box on your driveway unless you have a City encroachment permit.

The first decision in Vallejo

Check the city boundary first.

There is only one lawful box provider, so the real comparison is Recology's box against doing without one. Recology offers 20-, 25-, 30- and 40-yard open boxes and a 9-yard box for concrete or dirt, with rental charges after three days, but it does not publish prices or weight limits, so get a written quote. A few bulky items cost nothing through the four free pickups, and a pickup-truck load of debris is $48 for up to 1,000 pounds at Devlin Road.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Vallejo rather than Benicia, American Canyon or a county-area parcel with a Vallejo mailing address, since only City addresses fall under the Recology franchise.
Call Recology Vallejo at 707-552-3110 and get in writing the box price, included weight, overweight charge and daily rental charge after three days; ask for a C&D box if the debris is recyclable.
If a short or steep hillside driveway means the box must go on the street, apply for an encroachment permit at the Central Permit Center, 555 Santa Clara Street, (707) 651-7151, before delivery.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Recology Vallejo (City of Vallejo exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: Open debris boxes of 20 yards (about 16 ft long x 7 ft 10 in wide x 5 ft 2 in high), 25 yards (about 18 ft 1 in x 7 ft 10 in x 5 ft 9 in), 30 yards (about 18 ft 4 in x 7 ft 8 in x 7 ft) and 40 yards (about 20 ft 4 in x 7 ft 10 in x 7 ft 9 in), plus a 9-yard box (about 13 ft x 8 ft x 4 ft) for clean concrete or dirt only.
Rental & weight terms: Recology says rental charges apply to boxes on site more than three days, not counting drop-off and pick-up days, and that boxes over the weight limit carry extra charges; the weight limit and the daily rental charge are not published. The City's franchise says a single-family box is temporary and may not go more than seven days without being emptied and replaced. Ask specifically for a C&D debris box if your load is recyclable construction debris; otherwise the City says you may get a general box that is landfilled as trash. No hazardous or toxic materials, auto parts, tires, explosives, liquids, e-waste or appliances; dirt and concrete go only in the dedicated small box.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote. Recology's current City of Vallejo residential and commercial rate pages (effective January 1, 2026) do not list debris box prices, and its online request form gives none.

Recology Vallejo's materials recovery facility and business office is at 2021 Broadway, Vallejo, CA 94589; phone 707-552-3110 (Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., per its commercial guide). The City's construction and demolition page says Recology Vallejo is the only company permitted to provide debris box (dumpster) service in Vallejo under the franchise agreement. Other dumpster companies and brokers that advertise Vallejo are not the City's provider.

Driveway first; a box in the street needs a City encroachment permit

Vallejo's Encroachment Permit Guidelines (Public Works, revised August 2017) cite Municipal Code Chapter 10.16 and say an encroachment permit is required to place any temporary structure or object in the public right-of-way, with construction clean-up operations among the examples. The owner applies at the Central Permit Center, 2nd floor of City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, with a site plan, a traffic or pedestrian control plan if needed and a certificate of liability insurance naming the City as additional insured; the fee is set by the City's current fee schedule, which we did not read. Neither the guidelines nor the City's trash pages name debris boxes specifically, so confirm with Public Works at (707) 651-7151 before a box goes on the street, and allow time for review and a 24-hour inspection notice. Recology's request form also warns that a City permit may be needed on a public street. The City's franchise tells Recology to place single-family boxes without blocking alleys, roadways, driveways, sidewalks or mailboxes. A driveway or flat side yard avoids the permit; on steep hill streets, ask Recology whether its truck can set the box safely.

What matters locally

Four free bulky-item pickups a year, up to 2 cubic yards each

Single-family property owners in Vallejo get four free bulky-item pickups each calendar year from Recology Vallejo, each covering up to 2 cubic yards of material (the City puts that at roughly ten 32-gallon bags). Call Recology at (707) 552-3110 to schedule, and stack items neatly, no more than about three feet wide, three feet high and six feet long. Couches, refrigerators, other appliances and extra garbage are among the examples the City gives. Apartment and HOA residents go through their manager or association, which books the complex's pickup. Recology's January 2026 residential rate page lists $45.21 for each bulky pickup beyond the four free ones. For a few pieces of furniture, this is far cheaper than a debris box.

Self-haul to Devlin Road in American Canyon: $48 minimum, $91 a ton

The closest C&D recycling facility named by the City is the Devlin Road Recycling and Transfer Facility, 889 Devlin Road, American Canyon (just across the Napa County line), open daily 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., (707) 258-9005.

Household hazardous waste goes free to the Napa-Vallejo Household Hazardous Waste Facility next door at 889A Devlin Road (Fridays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 15 gallons or 125 pounds a trip). The City allows self-hauling of your own debris as long as no debris box is used.

Questions about renting in Vallejo.

Can I rent a dumpster from any company for my Vallejo house?

No. The City's construction and demolition page says that under its franchise agreement Recology Vallejo is the only company permitted to provide debris box (dumpster) service in Vallejo, and Recology describes itself as the City's exclusive debris box provider. The franchise agreement the City posts gives Recology the exclusive right to collect garbage, bulky waste and construction and demolition debris at homes; its exceptions cover a contractor using its own trucks or an owner hauling personally, and only where no debris box is used. Book through Recology at 707-552-3110.

Does my Vallejo remodel need a debris recycling plan?

It does if the project is covered. The City's construction and demolition page says its ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 7.53) applies to projects valued at $50,000 or more or covering 1,000 square feet or more, and to every demolition regardless of size, and requires at least 65% of the nonhazardous debris to be recycled or salvaged. You fill in a Waste Management Plan form, email it with your permit number to the City's Recycling Coordinator ((707) 649-3512), and the final building inspection cannot be completed until the review is approved. Ask Recology for a C&D box and keep weight tags.
