Dallas is one of the fastest-growing major metros in the United States, with a construction and renovation market driven by corporate relocations, a steady stream of teardown-rebuilds in established neighborhoods, and booming suburban development across the DFW metroplex. From historic renovation projects in Swiss Avenue and Winnetka Heights to commercial buildouts in Uptown and Deep Ellum, estate clearances in Preston Hollow and Bluffview, and new construction in Frisco and McKinney — our Dallas County provider network covers every corner of the Metroplex.
Dallas pricing is competitive and generally below the national average. A 10-yard dumpster runs $290–$390 and a 20-yard averages $370–$490. All prices include delivery, pickup, and disposal — no hidden fees.
Also serving: Highland Park, University Park, Richardson, Addison, Rowlett, Sachse, Sunnyvale, and all of Dallas County and surrounding Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties.
| Placement | Permit Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entirely on your private driveway or property | Generally no permit required | Container must fit fully on private property with no overhang onto public right-of-way |
| Any part on street, sidewalk, alley, or right-of-way | A right-of-way permit is generally required | requirements are confirmed current City of Dallas requirements before delivery — not after |
| Corner placement | Maintain at least 10 feet from street corners | City of Dallas recommendation for safety clearance |
| Alley placement | Depends on alley width and condition | Dallas alleys must have minimum 15-ft right-of-way, 10-ft pavement (§51A-8.507(b)); older alleys vary — conditions are assessed before committing |
These two cities have Dallas mailing addresses and ZIP codes but are entirely separate incorporated municipalities with their own rules:
Other separate Dallas-area cities: Addison, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, Irving, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Duncanville, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Balch Springs, and all Collin County suburbs. Jurisdiction is verified for every address.
Dallas has one of the most extensive alley networks of any U.S. city. Alley placement can be the cleanest option in many older neighborhoods — but it depends on actual conditions:
| Factor | What Dallas Code Requires | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Right-of-way width | Minimum 15 feet (§51A-8.507(b)) | Older alleys can be effectively narrower once fences, poles, and overgrowth are accounted for |
| Pavement width | At least 10 feet | Varies in practice in pre-1970s neighborhoods |
| Visibility triangle | 15-foot easement where alley meets street | Required for safety; affects exact drop spot |
| Dead-end alleys | Not permitted under code unless all access is blocked | Confirm before booking alley placement |
Alley viability is assessed for your specific address before committing — not discovered on delivery day.
Dallas uses two overlapping systems to protect its older neighborhoods, and many homeowners don’t know which one they’re in — or that they’re in one at all.
| Type | What It Is | Effect on Your Project |
|---|---|---|
| Historic District | City-designated, with preservation ordinance. Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) required for exterior changes. | Affects renovation project approval and timeline. May affect where a container can be visibly placed. Confirm your project scope with the City of Dallas Office of Historic Preservation before booking. |
| Conservation District | A Dallas-specific tool — lighter than historic designation. Regulates building form, setbacks, and neighborhood character without full preservation review. | Widely used in older Dallas neighborhoods. Many homeowners don't know they're in one. Primarily affects the project, not the container, but affects your overall timeline. |
| HOAs and PIDs | Private and public improvement districts layered on top of either system. | Container visibility and duration rules vary. Check with your HOA before booking. |
| Size | Dallas Price | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $290–$390 | ~3 pickup truck loads | Garage cleanout, bathroom demo, M Streets renovation, roofing repair |
| 20 yard | $370–$490 | ~6 truck loads | Whole-home cleanout, kitchen remodel, Lakewood estate clearance, Swiss Avenue gut renovation |
| 30 yard | $450–$600 | ~9 truck loads | Large renovation, construction cleanup, Preston Hollow teardown prep, major roofing tear-off |
| 40 yard | $530–$720 | ~12 truck loads | New construction, commercial cleanout, Uptown commercial buildout, major demolition |
