How to read the San Jose list
Eight have a yard in San Jose; the remaining 2 cover it from somewhere else. "State Debris Solution" - Dumpster Rental in San Jose holds the best rating at 5.0, while TJ Zebra Dumpsters has the most reviews behind it with 219. Three of the 10 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in San Jose, CA?
Updated regularly. Based on 12 published prices from 3 of the 10 companies serving San Jose.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $450 | $160 to $490 | ask | 7 days | 3 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. A published rate covers the container and the haul and little else. Overage, permits and extra days are billed separately, so treat these as a floor, not a quote.
