How this ranking works. Ordered by Index Score, out of 100: review volume 35, rating 25, published pricing 25, contactability 15. Publishing your rates moves you up, and that is the only way up. We don't sell placement. Distances are from each company's listed address, and service areas aren't confirmed with owners, so call to check they cover you. Full method.
How to read the San Marcos list
The list splits Two in town and 14 travelling in. Ramirez Junk Removal Services is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 293 Google reviews. Four of the 16 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 Marcos, TX?
Updated regularly. Based on 13 published prices from 4 of the 16 companies serving San Marcos.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $350 | $300 to $465 | ask | ask | 3 |
| 20 yard | $475 | $400 to $595 | ask | 22 days | 4 |
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. The gap between this number and the invoice is almost always weight. Ask what allowance the price includes and what a ton over it costs.
