What the Texas numbers say

Texas has 224 independently owned haulers on this index across 56 towns we cover. They are spread reasonably evenly instead of piling into one metro, so most towns here have a genuine choice rather than a single yard that covers everything. The best-sampled size here is the 20 yard, priced by 67 haulers at a median of $430.

How much does a dumpster cost in Texas?

A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in Texas it runs a median of $430, with most companies between $400 and $495. That is 3% above the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.

Dumpster rental in Texas: common questions

How much does a dumpster cost in Texas?
A 20-yard dumpster in Texas has a median published price of $430, with most companies between $400 and $495. That is 3% above the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal cost. Haulers pay a landfill by the ton, and that gate rate varies more than anything else in the price.
How many dumpster rental companies are there in Texas?
We list 224 independently owned companies across 56 towns in Texas. National carriers and brokers are excluded, so this is the local operator market, not the whole industry.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in TX?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.
What size dumpster should I rent in Texas?
Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.
