We’re Pug’s Dumpster Rental, and we’ve been helping homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout San Diego tackle their toughest cleanup and construction projects since 2010. Whether you need to rent a dumpster for a home cleanout, a major renovation, or a commercial construction site, we’re here to make waste management simple, fast, and stress-free.
Over the past 15 years, we’ve delivered thousands of roll-off containers across San Diego County, and we’ve built our reputation on three core promises: fast delivery, transparent pricing, and flexible rental periods that work around your schedule; not the other way around. From small residential projects to large-scale demolition jobs, we have the right dumpster size and the local expertise to support your project from start to finish.

Pug’s Dumpster Rental started in 2010 when our founder, a fourth-generation San Diego native and former contractor, saw a gap in the local market. Too many dumpster rental companies were treating customers like just another number; late deliveries, hidden fees, and poor communication were the norm. He knew San Diego deserved better.
So he bought his first roll-off truck, named the company after his loyal pug who rode shotgun on every delivery, and set out to build a waste management business that actually cared about the people it served. Today, we’re still family-owned and locally operated, and that same pug’s grandson still makes occasional appearances at our yard.
Our mission is simple: make debris removal and junk disposal as easy as possible while treating every customer with respect and professionalism. What sets us apart from other dumpster rental companies isn’t just our experience; it’s our commitment to being part of the San Diego community. We understand local neighborhoods, city regulations, and the unique challenges that come with projects in Southern California. Our team knows the difference between a tight driveway in North Park and a sprawling construction site in Rancho Bernardo, and we plan every delivery accordingly.
We take pride in our customer-first approach. Our drivers are professional, uniformed, and trained to protect your property during delivery and pickup. Our fleet is well-maintained and cleaned regularly because we believe you deserve equipment that looks as good as it performs. And whether you’re a homeowner renting your first dumpster or a contractor who’s worked with us for years, you’ll get the same level of service: prompt, courteous, and reliable.
From small residential cleanouts to large commercial jobs, we’ve handled construction debris, household junk, renovation waste, and demolition materials of every kind. We’ve also built strong partnerships with local recycling facilities to ensure responsible waste disposal that benefits our community and environment.
We serve two distinct groups of customers, and we’re proud to do both exceptionally well. For homeowners, we provide residential dumpster rental services for home cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom renovations, moving projects, spring cleaning marathons, and everything in between. We understand that renting a dumpster might be a first-time experience, so we take the time to walk you through the process and answer every question.
For our commercial clients; including contractors, property managers, builders, and facility managers; we offer the reliability and consistency your business demands. We know that construction dumpster rental isn’t just about dropping off a container; it’s about coordinating deliveries around tight schedules, managing multiple job sites, and providing the flexibility to scale up or down as projects evolve.
No matter the size of your project, we have the experience and equipment to handle it. We’ve supported everything from single-room remodels to multi-unit developments, from garage cleanouts to complete home demolitions. Our team understands the different needs of residential and commercial customers, and we tailor our service accordingly.
We offer a complete range of roll-off dumpster sizes to match any project. Our 10-yard dumpsters are perfect for small cleanouts, garage or attic projects, and minor landscaping jobs. The 12-yard size works well for medium residential projects like spare bedroom cleanouts or small deck removals. Our 15-yard dumpster rental is ideal for basement cleanouts and small renovation projects.
The 20-yard dumpster is our most popular size; it’s the sweet spot for mid-size remodeling projects, whole-home cleanouts, and roofing jobs on average-sized homes. When you move up to our 30-yard containers, you’re looking at large renovations, new construction debris, and significant demolition work. And our 40-yard roll-off rental is built for major demolition projects, large commercial construction sites, and industrial cleanouts.
We also offer a 10-yard lowboy dumpster, which sits lower to the ground and makes it easier to load heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles without the need for ramps or excessive lifting.
Not sure which size you need? Our team is here to help. We’ll ask about your project type, estimated debris volume, and timeline to recommend the right container. It’s usually better to size up if you’re uncertain; you don’t want to deal with overflow or ordering a second dumpster mid-project. And if you realize you need a different size after delivery, just let us know and we’ll work with you to make it right.
All of our sizes are available for same-day delivery when you need to get started right away.
When you need a dumpster, you usually need it now. That’s why we offer same-day dumpster delivery for orders placed before noon, along with next-day delivery as our standard service. We also provide emergency dumpster rental services for those urgent situations; unexpected property damage, last-minute project timelines, or situations where waiting simply isn’t an option.
We understand that every project moves at its own pace, so we offer flexible rental periods to match. Need a dumpster for a single day? We’ve got you covered. Planning a weekend cleanout? Perfect. Most of our customers keep containers for 7-10 days, but we also provide weekly dumpster rental, extended rentals for ongoing construction projects, and temporary dumpster rental for events or short-term needs.
If your project takes longer than expected; and let’s be honest, most do; extending your rental is easy. Just give us a call and we’ll adjust your timeline without hassle or judgment. Our scheduling and booking process is designed to be simple, and you can order a dumpster online 24/7 through our website. After hours? No problem. Our system will get your order into the queue, and our team will confirm delivery details first thing in the morning.
We accept a wide range of materials in our dumpsters, making us your one-stop solution for almost any cleanup or construction project. Our containers handle construction and demolition debris including lumber, drywall, framing materials, and siding. We take household junk and furniture; couches, mattresses, appliances (as long as they don’t contain refrigerants), and general household items.
Renovation materials are our specialty. Whether you’re tearing out old flooring, removing roofing shingles, hauling away broken concrete, or demolishing an old deck or fence, we’ve got you covered. We also accept yard waste and landscaping debris like branches, leaves, soil, and sod. Estate cleanout materials; all the accumulated belongings from a lifetime in a home; are handled with care and respect.
We do have some prohibited items to keep everyone safe and compliant with regulations. We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, and motor oil. Tires and appliances containing refrigerants (like refrigerators and air conditioners) are also prohibited, along with medical waste of any kind.
If you’re unsure whether we can take a specific material, just call us before you load it. We’d much rather answer questions upfront than deal with issues at pickup.
We’re committed to eco-friendly disposal practices and work closely with San Diego recycling facilities to divert as much waste as possible from local landfills. Materials like metal, wood, concrete, and cardboard are separated and recycled whenever possible. It’s good for the environment and good for our community.
Over the past 15 years, we’ve served thousands of San Diego customers with an incredibly diverse range of project needs. Our experience spans both residential applications and large-scale commercial work, and we’ve pretty much seen it all.
For home renovations and remodeling, we’re the go-to partner for kitchen and bathroom remodels, complete flooring replacements, roof tear-offs and re-roofs, deck and fence removals, and whole-home renovation projects. Our dumpster for remodeling services ensures you have a clean, organized work site throughout your project.
Property cleanouts are another specialty. We provide estate cleanout dumpster services for families dealing with the difficult process of clearing out a loved one’s home. We handle foreclosure cleanups with discretion and efficiency, and we approach hoarding cleanup situations with sensitivity and professionalism. Whether you’re moving, downsizing, tackling spring cleaning on a grand scale, or finally clearing out that packed garage, basement, or attic, we make the process straightforward.
Our construction dumpster rental services support new construction sites, commercial renovation projects, and demolition work of all sizes. Contractors trust us because we show up on time, communicate clearly, and understand the pace of construction work. Property management companies rely on us for ongoing waste management needs across multiple properties.
For landscaping and outdoor projects, we provide debris removal for yard cleanup projects, tree removal waste, and complete landscape renovations. Our yard waste dumpster rental options make it easy to transform your outdoor space without worrying about hauling trips to the dump.
From roofing dumpster rental to house cleanout dumpster services, from garage cleanout projects to major demolition jobs, we’ve built our business on being ready for whatever San Diego throws at us.
We believe you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying before you commit to anything. That’s our no hidden fees guarantee. We provide upfront, transparent pricing for every dumpster rental, with everything spelled out in plain English.
Our affordable dumpster rental rates include everything: delivery to your location, pickup when you’re done, disposal of your debris (within weight limits), and your rental period. You won’t get surprise charges for “environmental fees” or “fuel surcharges” that mysteriously appear on your final bill. What we quote is what you pay.
Free quotes are available anytime; call us or use our online quote tool to get an instant estimate. We’re confident in our competitive pricing, and we believe in giving you the best price dumpster rental in San Diego without sacrificing service quality.
Several factors affect the final dumpster rental cost: the size of the container you choose, your rental duration, the type of material you’re disposing of (heavy materials like concrete cost more to dispose of), and your location within San Diego County. We’ll explain how each of these factors applies to your specific situation.
Our easy online booking system provides instant quotes and lets you reserve your dumpster in minutes. We accept multiple payment options including credit cards, checks, and electronic payments to make the process as convenient as possible. If you have questions about dumpster rental prices or want to discuss your specific project needs, our team is always happy to help you understand the numbers.

Choosing the right dumpster size doesn't have to be complicated. We've put together this guide to help you understand your options and avoid common rental mistakes. With transparent pricing and fast delivery throughout San Diego, we make waste management simple for every project.
| Dumpster Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Capacity | Included Tonnage | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14' × 7.5' × 3.5' | ~4 pickup truck loads | 1-2 tons | Small cleanouts, garage decluttering, minor landscaping, bathroom remodels |
| 10 Yard Lowboy | 14' × 7.5' × 2' | ~4 pickup truck loads | 1-2 tons | Heavy materials (concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt), roofing shingles, easy loading access |
| 12 Yard | 14' × 7.5' × 4' | ~5 pickup truck loads | 1.5-2.5 tons | Basement cleanouts, small remodeling projects, attic clearing, flooring removal |
| 15 Yard | 16' × 7.5' × 4.5' | ~6 pickup truck loads | 2-3 tons | Medium renovations, deck demolition, estate cleanouts, large landscaping projects |
| 20 Yard | 22' × 7.5' × 4.5' | ~8 pickup truck loads | 2-4 tons | Kitchen remodels, roofing projects, whole-room renovations, multi-room cleanouts |
| 30 Yard | 22' × 7.5' × 6' | ~12 pickup truck loads | 3-5 tons | Large renovations, new construction, commercial projects, major demolition work |

Not sure which size fits your project? Think about the volume of debris you'll generate. For home cleanouts, start with 10-15 yards. Renovations typically need 20-30 yards. Construction projects often require 30-40 yards. Still unsure? Call us; we'll help you select the perfect size based on your specific project and save you money.
Every dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside. Never load materials above this line; it's unsafe for transport and may result in additional fees. Heavy materials like concrete or dirt fill up weight limits faster than volume, so consider a lowboy for these projects. We provide clear guidance with every delivery.
We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, batteries, asbestos, tires, propane tanks, or medical waste. Electronics and appliances may have special requirements. Acceptable items include construction debris, household junk, furniture, yard waste, and most renovation materials. When in doubt, ask; we're here to help.
Dumpsters placed on private property (driveways, yards) usually don't require permits in San Diego. However, if you need to place the container on a public street or right-of-way, you'll likely need a permit from your local municipality. We can guide you through the permit process and requirements.
Choose a flat, solid surface that can support the weight when loaded. Ensure delivery trucks have clear access (at least 10-11 feet wide, 23 feet high clearance). Avoid placing on grass, soft ground, or near overhead wires. We can deliver to driveways, parking lots, or streets (with permit). We use protective boards to prevent driveway damage.
Our standard rental periods accommodate most projects, with flexible extensions available. Your rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and the specified tonnage. Overages on weight are charged per ton. Need it longer? Just let us know; we work around your schedule with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
We offer same-day delivery when you order early in the day, and next-day delivery is almost always available throughout San Diego County. Our locally owned operation means faster response times and more delivery windows than national chains. Flexible scheduling ensures your dumpster arrives exactly when you need it.
We take property protection seriously. Our experienced drivers use wooden boards under the dumpster to protect driveways and surfaces. Proper placement and careful delivery minimize any risk. We've been serving San Diego since 2010 with thousands of damage-free deliveries. Your property is in professional hands.
