Match the box to the job so you don't pay for air or overfill a small container. A 10-yard is the right call for a single bathroom gut or a Noe Valley kitchen tear-out where the debris is heavy but low-volume, drywall, tile, and old cabinets add up in weight fast. A 20-yard fits most whole-room remodels and small demos across the Sunset District and Richmond District. A 30-yard handles bulky, lighter framing and multi-room renovation debris in larger Pacific Heights or Bernal Heights projects. Heavy material like concrete, brick, and dirt belongs in a smaller container, a 10-yard packed with clean concrete can hit the weight limit long before it looks full, and that's cheaper to haul than an over-limit 30.
Street placement is the part that trips up SF jobs. The Mission and Potrero Hill have narrow blocks and metered curb space, and the hills around Glen Park and Bernal Heights mean the driver needs a level, reachable spot. If the container sits in the public right-of-way, San Francisco requires a permit, and we'll tell you that up front and walk you through it rather than leaving you to sort it at the last minute. On a wide driveway in the Excelsior or a job with off-street space, you may skip the permit entirely, we confirm which applies before delivery.
Sort as you load and your bill stays honest. C&D debris is priced on tonnage, so keeping clean concrete separate from mixed wood and drywall can lower your disposal cost and keeps San Francisco's recycling requirements satisfied. We'll flag anything that doesn't belong, no wet paint, solvents, or hazardous material, so nothing gets kicked back at the transfer station. For contractors running back-to-back projects in Bayview-Hunters Point or the Richmond District, we can schedule swap-outs so the crew never waits on an empty box.
The promise is simple: straight prices, on-time dumpsters, zero surprises. You get a quoted tonnage and a plain per-ton rate for anything over it, so you always know the ceiling before the container arrives.
Every job gets a firm, written price after a free on-site visit.
