How much does a dumpster cost in Waterloo, IA?
Updated regularly. No company serving Waterloo 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). Waterloo 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.
