Dumpster Rental in
Cedar City, UT

Mon–Fri 6am–6pm MT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Utah prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
Cedar City's building season runs hardest from late spring through early fall, once the ground thaws enough for foundation work and roofing crews can safely be up on a pitch without ice. That's when remodels and additions near Cedar City Regional Airport and out toward the valley floor pick up alongside routine roof tear-offs. A roofing job or a foundation pour throws heavier, denser material than a typical interior remodel, which changes which container size actually makes sense for the weight rather than just the volume.
Access around Cedar City varies a lot depending on where the lot sits. Newer subdivisions near Ridge Park tend to have wide driveways and easy pull-through, while older lots closer to Main Street or North Main Street can be tighter, with less room for a delivery truck to turn around. Homes backed up against open desert or foothill terrain sometimes have gravel or dirt approaches instead of paved driveways, which changes how a container settles once it's set down. Before the truck arrives, check that the surface where you want the container is level and firm enough to hold the weight, and clear away anything parked or stored in the way.
Dumpster Sizes in Cedar City
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Cedar City, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
For jobs that sound small and weigh a lot — tile, plaster, a concrete stoop — the 10 yard is the right call at $588 to $765. Dense debris hits the weight allowance before it ever needs the space.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $675 to $876. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $785 to $975, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
When the job is measured in rooms rather than fixtures, the 30 yard at $695 to $880 keeps a crew from waiting on swaps. Save it for bulk; dense debris maxes the allowance early.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Cedar City, UT
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Cedar City driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Cedar City
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Cedar City, UT?
Dumpster rental pricing in Cedar City varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Cedar City
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $588 – $765 | $240 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $675 – $876 | $265 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $695 – $880 | $290 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $785 – $975 | $320 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Cedar City address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (866) 837-8212 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Cedar City
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar City dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Cedar City dumpster costs range from $588 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $975 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Timing rarely changes the permit answer in Cedar City, but the rule itself is simple: a dumpster kept on your own driveway or lot needs no permit from the city at any time of year. Only placement on a public street requires one.
Cedar City's public works office issues that street-placement permit when a job site leaves no room off the road.
Cedar City's public works office handles street-placement permits for roll-off containers, and applying usually just takes a call with your address, dates, and container size ready.
If your driveway or lot has room along Cross Hollow Road or elsewhere on your own property, no permit is needed at all.
Give the driver a level spot, pavement or packed gravel, with a straight approach behind it and nothing overhead. The bed tilts higher than the container stands, so a low branch or a service line can stop the whole drop.
Move cars the night before, unlock any gate on the route in, and mark the spot if you will be out. Plywood under the rails protects a soft or newly sealed driveway. A drop the truck cannot make becomes a trip charge and a new delivery date, which is the outcome all of this avoids.
Most Cedar City deliveries sit on the driveway or a paved apron rather than the street, since that's usually the flattest, most stable spot on the lot. Street placement is allowed when the site truly has nowhere else, but it needs a permit and the container has to stay clear of the travel lane.
A gravel pad or dirt shoulder can work too, as long as it's level and firm enough to hold the weight without settling unevenly.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Cedar City comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
