Dumpster Rental in Murray, Utah

Murray sits in a competitive band of the Salt Lake Valley dumpster market. You're close enough to both downtown Salt Lake City operators and the south-valley companies in Sandy and Midvale that most residential and contractor jobs have six or more providers to choose from. That keeps pricing honest — and for smaller containers especially, you can find flat rates that compare favorably to the Salt Lake City average.

Current pricing ranges for dumpster rental in Murray (2026):

• 10-yard: $280–$385 — single-room tearouts, small garage cleanouts, bathroom demo, light landscaping debris
• 15-yard: $250–$350 — kitchen gut-outs, deck removals, mid-size flooring projects, yard cleanups
• 20-yard: $280–$500 — the workhorse size for Murray home renovations; handles full roof replacements, multi-room flooring, and typical estate cleanouts
• 30-yard: $450–$700 — full-home gut jobs, large estate cleanouts, commercial tenant improvements, and new construction framing debris
• 40-yard: $550–$800+ — major demolition, large multi-unit or commercial projects

Salt City Dumpsters (based in Midvale, directly adjacent to Murray) is one of the sharpest-priced local options, with flat-rate 15-yard rentals starting at $250 and 20-yard containers from $280 — all-in pricing with delivery, pickup, and landfill disposal included. Trash Daddy Dumpster Rentals and Budget Dumpster both serve Murray ZIP codes and offer online booking with confirmed delivery windows. Dumpster Champs advertises same-day service from $495 with a no-hidden-fees guarantee.

Most private rentals include 7–14 days and 2 tons in the base rate. Overages run $35–$55 per ton depending on the company. For heavy materials — concrete, dirt, roofing shingles — flag the weight question before loading. The Trans-Jordan Landfill in South Jordan (the primary disposal site for most Murray operators) charges $41 per ton with a $15 minimum, so weight adds up quickly on dense debris.

If the container goes on your private driveway or in your yard, no permit is required. That covers the majority of Murray rentals — most of the city's single-family neighborhoods have usable driveways, and a standard 20-yard roll-off only needs about 22 feet of length and 8 feet of width to fit cleanly.

Street or public right-of-way placement is a different matter. Murray City requires a permit for any dumpster placed in a public street, and the process is direct:

• Murray City Public Works: 4646 South 500 West, Murray, UT 84123
• Phone: 801-270-2440
• Permit fee: $30 for a 7-day placement permit
• Apply before scheduling delivery — don't assume same-day approval
• Safety cones or reflective markers are required at all corners of the container
• Minimum 3-foot clearance from fire hydrants; no blocking intersections or sight lines

Murray's older neighborhoods — particularly along State Street, Fashion Place corridors, and the tighter residential blocks east of I-15 — occasionally require street placement when driveways are at grade or too short for a standard roll-off. The permit fee is low, but skipping it isn't worth the risk. A container dropped without a permit can mean a fine, forced removal, and the cost of rescheduling your project.

When booking with a private rental company, ask if they pull permits on your behalf. Some Salt Lake Valley operators offer this as a free service — it saves you a trip to Public Works and removes one variable from your delivery timeline.

Murray is a mature, fully developed city — there's very little empty land left, and new construction is largely infill. The old Cottonwood Mall / Galleria site near 5300 South and 900 East has been a long-running mixed-use redevelopment project, and the Pointe @53rd development brings additional residential and retail density. But the bread-and-butter of Murray's dumpster demand is renovation and cleanout work, not ground-up construction.

The city's housing stock is a mix of eras: mid-century ranches and brick homes from the 1950s and 1960s near the historic core, 1970s and 1980s subdivisions in the western neighborhoods, and newer construction toward the Holladay and Midvale borders. That spread means different renovation profiles depending on the neighborhood — mid-century homes often need full kitchen and bath renovations, electrical panel upgrades, and insulation work; 1970s houses are cycling through roof replacements and flooring gut-outs.

Murray-specific projects and typical container recommendations:

• Basement finish or conversion: 15-yard or 20-yard — drywall, lumber, old mechanical equipment, flooring
• Kitchen remodel (full gut): 20-yard — cabinets, appliances, flooring, tile, drywall all pile up fast
• Roof replacement: 20-yard — most Murray homes produce 3–5 tons of shingles; confirm weight allowance upfront
• Estate cleanout: 20 or 30-yard depending on volume — longtime Murray homeowners often have decades of accumulated items
• Garage cleanout: 10-yard — typically sufficient for one attached garage
• Deck or fence removal: 15-yard — lumber and hardware, lighter than you'd expect
• Full home renovation: 30-yard or two-container sequence — don't undersize; a second delivery and swap-out costs more than starting with the right container
• Commercial tenant improvement: 30 or 40-yard — State Street and Fashion Place area commercial strip-outs generate substantial debris volume

Murray's population grew nearly 49% between 2000 and 2024, reaching roughly 50,800 residents. That growth has accelerated the renovation cycle as properties change hands and new owners update older homes to current standards. The city's median household income — around $87,000 — supports active home improvement spending, and contractor activity tracks accordingly.

Most Murray dumpster companies haul to one of two Salt Lake County facilities, both within reasonable range of the city's ZIP codes.

The Trans-Jordan Landfill at 10473 South Bacchus Highway (UT-111), South Jordan, UT 84095 — phone (801) 569-8994 — is the facility most commonly used by south Salt Lake Valley operators serving Murray. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM; closed Sundays. Disposal rates are $41 per ton with a $15 minimum, and the facility accepts credit/debit only — no cash or checks. All loads must be tarped and secured; unsecured loads are refused at the gate.

The Salt Lake Valley Landfill (Salt Lake County Transfer Station) at 6030 W. California Ave. (1300 S.), Salt Lake City, UT 84104 — phone (801) 975-0691 — is used by operators serving northern Murray and the ZIP codes closer to South Salt Lake. Hours are Monday–Saturday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Both facilities accept construction and demolition debris, furniture, appliances, roofing materials, carpet, concrete, lumber, and general solid waste. Neither accepts prohibited materials — and haulers inspect loads before and after pickup. Contaminated containers get hit with cleanup charges or refused entirely.

Prohibited items that cannot go in a Murray roll-off dumpster:

• Hazardous chemicals, liquid paint, solvents, and fuels
• Asbestos — present in many Murray homes built before 1980; test before demo work
• Electronics and e-waste (TVs, computers, monitors)
• All batteries — automotive, lithium-ion, lead-acid
• Tires
• Freon-containing appliances without documented refrigerant evacuation
• Medical or biohazardous waste
• Gasoline, motor oil, and flammable liquids

For prohibited materials, Murray residents can use the Salt Lake County Household Hazardous Waste drop-off at 8805 S. 700 W. (open select Saturdays). The Trans-Jordan Landfill also offers free HHW drop-off on its regular operating schedule — paint, chemicals, batteries, and electronics can all be dropped there at no charge. Murray City's own Public Works department operates a separate household hazardous waste program as well; call 801-270-2440 for current drop-off dates and accepted materials.
