Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Your home in Fontana might be a 1950s tract house or a newer build near the Victoria Basin. Either way, a remodel here usually means tearing out old drywall, carpet, and cabinets, and that bulky stuff fills a 20-yard container fast. Roof tear-offs around the Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center area run heavy, and the shingles alone will max out weight before the container looks full. A 30 or 40 only makes sense for light, voluminous loads. When in doubt, size down.
Fontana's residential streets are mostly wide and flat, which makes deliveries straightforward. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight approach, so a cul-de-sac off Foothill Boulevard or Sierra Avenue can be tight. Watch for low limbs and service lines where the drive meets the street. The bed tilts high to set the container down, so a single low branch can stop a drop that looked fine from the ground. Walk the route and look up before delivery day.

The 10 yard is the short container: one room stripped out, a bathroom gut, a small shed. It runs $755 to $925 and sits on a single driveway width.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $860 to $1035. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $1050 to $1230 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard carries the awkward loads: couches, cabinets, forty bags from an attic. Taller than the 10, no longer, so the truck places it anywhere a 10 goes.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $890 to $1070. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Fontana, CA
For homeowners
For a homeowner, the container usually lands on the driveway and holds a cleanout or a remodel: old furniture, drywall, flooring, the contents of a packed garage. Light, awkward material fills space long before it hits a weight limit, so pick the size by volume and load the big pieces flat.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Fontana, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Fontana
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Fontana, CA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Fontana varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Fontana
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $755 – $925 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $860 – $1035 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $890 – $1070 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1050 – $1230 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Fontana address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Fontana
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fontana dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Fontana dumpster costs range from $755 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1230 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
We deliver to Lifestyle, Beech Avenue Logistics Center, and every neighborhood in between, from the older blocks near Central City Park to the newer developments out by Victoria Basin. Drivers know the area well. In the industrial parts near Beech Avenue, expect wide streets and easy access. In the residential tracts around Summerwood Way Park, the main thing is overhead clearance and driveways that are a little narrow. Either way, a clear path gets the container placed without trouble.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Fontana when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
Do you need one? Generally, no. A permit is only required if the container sits on public property, which in Fontana means the street or the sidewalk. A driveway placement on your own property does not need one. For street placement, the City of Fontana's Public Works Department issues the permit. They want to know where the container will sit and how long it will be there. Most residential driveways avoid the question entirely.
The approval starts with the placement. If the container goes on your driveway, there is nothing to file. If it has to go on the street, contact the City of Fontana Public Works Department. They will tell you what the current fee and application look like. Give them the address, the dates, and where you plan to set it. Allow a few days for the review. A driveway placement avoids the wait altogether.
Fontana streets are wide enough for a container, but the rules still apply. The container cannot block a lane, a fire hydrant, or a driveway. The permit from Public Works covers a set period, usually tied to your rental length. Plan for the container to sit on the street only if you have no driveway option. The truck needs room to line up straight, so a clear street is easier than a tight drive. Just confirm the permit before delivery day.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
