The sizes advertised in Clear Lake are 20, 30 and 40 yard. For anything outside that, ask what they can bring, or widen to the nearby towns below.
How much does a dumpster cost in Clear Lake, IA?
Updated regularly. No company serving Clear Lake publishes a rate on its website, so the figures below are statewide.
Across Iowa, a 20-yard dumpster runs a median of $335, with most quotes between $299 and $350 (19 companies). Clear Lake should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up. The reliable way to find out is to call two or three companies on the list above and ask each for the base price, the included tonnage, and the per-ton overage.
