Dumpster Rental in Cedar City, Utah

Cedar City dumpster rental prices are competitive with the broader southern Utah market. Here's what you can expect to pay for a standard 7-day rental including delivery, pickup, and the base weight allowance:

• 10-yard container: $275–$550 — single-room cleanouts, small deck demolitions, attic purges
• 20-yard container: $350–$650 — the most popular size; handles full kitchen or bathroom renovations, roofing tear-offs, and mid-size landscaping projects
• 30-yard container: $400–$750 — whole-home remodels, multi-room additions, larger construction cleanups
• 40-yard container: $500–$900 — commercial projects, new construction sites, full estate cleanouts

Weight limits matter more than people expect. A 20-yard container filled with concrete or roofing shingles will hit its tonnage cap fast. Ask your provider upfront about weight allowances — overage fees at the Iron County Landfill run $22 per ton, and those costs get passed along. If you're hauling heavy material like concrete, dirt, or tile, a smaller but multiple-trip approach sometimes pencils out better than one oversized load.

Whether you need a permit in Cedar City comes down to one question: where are you putting the container?

On private property (driveway or yard): No permit required. This is the easiest scenario — just confirm with your provider that the placement location is accessible and won't damage irrigation lines or utilities.

On a public street or right-of-way: A permit is required from Cedar City's Street, Storm Drain & Solid Waste Division. Contact them at:

• Address: 716 N. Airport Rd., Cedar City, UT 84720
• Phone: (435) 865-4555
• Street & Solid Waste Superintendent: Eric Witzke (ewitzke@cedarcityut.gov)

Utah placement standards apply regardless of permit status: containers must be at least 3 feet from fire hydrants, 15 feet from intersections, and 5 feet from driveways. Reflectors or safety barriers are required for overnight street placements, and ADA pathway access must be maintained at all times.

Most established local providers will handle permit paperwork on your behalf — it's worth asking when you book. Placing a container in the public right-of-way without authorization can result in fines or forced removal at your cost.

The 20-yard roll-off is the most commonly rented size in Cedar City for good reason — it handles the majority of residential projects without the cost jump to a 30-yard. But matching the container to your project saves real money. Here's a practical breakdown:

• 10-yard: Think one car garage cleanout, a single bathroom gut, or a small deck tear-off. About 3 pickup truck loads of debris.
• 20-yard: Full kitchen renovation, roofing replacement on a standard home, medium landscaping overhaul, or moving cleanout. About 6 pickup truck loads.
• 30-yard: Whole-home remodel, large addition, commercial tenant improvement. About 9 pickup truck loads.
• 40-yard: New construction framing cleanup, large commercial demo, multi-unit property cleanout. About 12 pickup truck loads.

Cedar City's rapid growth in neighborhoods like The Meadows at Iron West, South Mountain, and Temple View Commons means a lot of new construction and renovation activity. If you're working on a new build or addition in one of these developing areas, size up — it's almost always cheaper than ordering a second container mid-project.

Southern Utah University projects, ADU additions near the SUU campus, and estate cleanouts in the Coal Creek corridor neighborhoods are common use cases where a 20-yard handles it cleanly. For roofing — one of the most common projects in Cedar City given the high-altitude UV exposure — a 10 or 20-yard depending on roof square footage usually works.

Debris hauled in Cedar City roll-off containers ends up at the Iron County Landfill (3127 N. Iron Springs Rd., Cedar City, UT 84720). The facility is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM for residents and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for businesses — all vehicles must be unloaded by 6:00 PM. It's closed Sundays and major holidays.

Standard tipping fees run $22 per ton for Class I and mixed loads. The landfill accepts most household and construction debris but has a firm list of prohibited items that cannot go into roll-off containers:

• Hazardous materials: pesticides, motor oil, paint (oil-based and latex), solvents
• Batteries (lead-acid and lithium)
• Tires (commercial tires specifically prohibited)
• Electronics and e-waste
• Medical and biohazardous waste
• Propane and oxygen tanks (must have valves removed before landfill entry)
• Asbestos-containing materials (special handling fees: $65–$500 depending on type and origin)
• Liquid wastes of any kind

Items that are acceptable but sometimes questioned: clean wood, drywall, roofing shingles, concrete (check with provider for weight limits), furniture, appliances with refrigerants removed, carpet, and general household junk. When in doubt, call your rental provider or the landfill directly at (435) 865-7015 before loading.
