Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes and Prices in Las Cruces
Picking a size is the question we get most, so here are straight numbers. One cubic yard is a box three feet on each side. A full-size pickup bed holds about two cubic yards. So a 20-yard roll-off swallows roughly eight to ten pickup loads. Stuck between two sizes? Go one up. The bigger box costs a little more. A second delivery because the first one filled early costs a lot more.
15 Yard Dumpster
14 ft L × 8 ft W × 4.5 ft H · 2 tons included
Good for a garage cleanout, one bathroom remodel, flooring tear-out or a small yard job. The low walls make it easy to toss things over the side. Holds about five to six pickup loads.
Starts at $349
Is a 15 Yard Roll-Off the Right Size for My Job?
A 15 yard roll-off is the smallest size we stock and the one most homeowners should start with. It holds about 15 cubic yards, roughly five to six pickup loads, and $349 covers 2 tons of weight. Most single-room jobs never get near that limit.
It fits well when the job looks like this:
- A one-car or two-car garage cleanout
- One bathroom or a small kitchen remodel
- Carpet, tile or laminate removal in two or three rooms
- A yard cleanup after a monsoon storm: limbs, brush and a section of fence
- An apartment move-out near NMSU
It is the wrong pick when the debris is heavy and dense. Caliche, river rock, concrete and dirt can hit 2 tons long before the box looks full. For those, ask us about a heavy-debris load so you pay a fair price and not an overage. It is also small for a full-house cleanout. That is a 30-yard job.
The 15 is also the easiest size to place. At 14 feet long, it fits most Las Cruces driveways with room to park, which helps on tight lots in Mesilla and the older Mesquite and Alameda neighborhoods. If you can’t decide between a 15 and a 20, describe the job when you call. We will size it in about a minute.
20 Yard Dumpster MOST REQUESTED
22 ft L × 8 ft W × 4.5 ft H · 3 tons included
Our most rented size. It handles a full kitchen remodel, a garage plus shed cleanout, a move-out with furniture or a roof tear-off on a typical home. Holds about eight to ten pickup loads.
A note on Las Cruces roofs. Many homes here have flat roofs with foam, tar and gravel instead of shingles, and some have heavy clay tile. Both weigh more than people expect. Tell us the square footage and roof type when you call and we will set the size and tonnage honestly, so there is no surprise at the tear-off.
Starts at $429
30 Yard Dumpster
22 ft L × 8 ft W × 6 ft H · 4 tons included
Built for whole-house cleanouts, estate cleanouts, new construction, demolition and commercial jobs. The taller walls hold about twelve pickup loads.
Starts at $529
Large Dumpster Rental for Major Projects
Contractor swap-outs: full container out, empty one in, same trip
Running a demolition, a multi-phase build or a commercial cleanout that will outgrow one box? We schedule swap-outs so a full container leaves and an empty one lands in one trip. Crews call us mid-morning and we swap the container out so they keep working.
Swap-outs $499
What Size Dumpster Do I Need?
A quick rule that has held up over hundreds of drops. One room or a garage: take the 15. Kitchen, roof or a full move-out: take the 20. Whole house, estate or construction: take the 30. We would rather quote the right container than the biggest one.
| Size | Dimensions | Holds | Weight Included | Best For | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 Yard | 14 ft × 8 ft × 4.5 ft | 5–6 pickup loads | 2 tons | Garage cleanout / one-room remodel / flooring / yard waste | $349 |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft × 8 ft × 4.5 ft | 8–10 pickup loads | 3 tons | Kitchen remodel / roof tear-off / move-out with furniture | $429 |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft × 8 ft × 6 ft | ~12 pickup loads | 4 tons | Whole-house or estate cleanout / construction / demolition | $529 |
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Dumpster in Las Cruces, NM?
A roll-off dumpster in Las Cruces costs $349 to $529 for a week with us, depending on size. That flat price covers delivery, pickup, 7 days, disposal and 2 to 4 tons of weight. National sites quote this market anywhere from about $200 to over $800. Those are broker ranges built to fit every city in America. Ours are exact, local and in writing before anything is scheduled.
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster for a week? In Las Cruces, a week with us is $349 for a 15-yard, $429 for a 20-yard and $529 for a 30-yard. The 7 days are built into every price.
Rental period. Need more than 7 days? Extra days are $15 each. Tell us on the first call or ring us during the rental. Nobody comes to grab a container you are still filling.
Weight allowance. Each size includes 2 to 4 tons, weighed on certified scales at the disposal site. Anything over bills at $75 per ton. Heavy material hits the weight limit long before it fills the box, and that brings up something specific to this valley.
Caliche, rock, concrete and xeriscape debris. Caliche is the hard, chalky layer under a lot of Las Cruces yards. It is soil cemented with calcium carbonate, and once it is broken up it loads about like rock. Xeriscape conversions also mean river rock, gravel and old patio concrete. A container half full of rock can outweigh one filled to the rail with furniture. Tell us it is a rock or concrete job and we will set you up with a heavy-debris load at the right size.
Why prices change between companies. Disposal is charged by the ton. As of July 1, 2026, the South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA) charges $68.05 per ton at the Amador Avenue and Chaparral transfer stations. Fuel and drive time depend on your address. Container supply tightens during move-out season and after monsoon storms.
Money-saving tip: keep heavy stuff apart from light stuff. Concrete, brick and dirt in their own load costs less than the same material mixed in with household junk, and they are far less likely to put you over your tonnage.
| Job | Size | What happened | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage cleanout | 15 yard | Done in 5 days, 1.4 tons | $349 |
| Bathroom remodel that ran long | 15 yard | Kept 10 days, 1.8 tons | $349 + 3 days × $15 = $394 |
| Tile roof tear-off | 20 yard | 7 days, 3.6 tons | $429 + 0.6 tons × $75 = $474 |
| Estate cleanout | 30 yard | 7 days, 3.2 tons | $529 |
These are worked examples using our standard rates, not specific customer bills.
What Can You Put in a Dumpster, and What Is Prohibited?
Most household, remodeling and construction debris is fine. Hazardous waste and liquids are not. Here is the list we go over on every call.
Accepted materials
- Household junk (bagged trash, clothes, boxes, general clutter)
- Furniture (couches, mattresses, tables, dressers, bed frames)
- Appliances without refrigerant (washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers)
- Construction and demolition debris (lumber, drywall, stucco, siding, trim, flooring, tile, cabinets)
- Roofing (shingles, foam and built-up roofing, sized for weight first)
- Yard waste (pecan limbs, brush, dead shrubs, fence sections)
- Rock, gravel, concrete, brick, dirt and caliche in a dedicated heavy load (ask first)
- Adobe and plaster debris from renovations
Prohibited items
The City of Las Cruces roll-off rules and SCSWA landfill rules keep these out of a standard container.
- Hazardous waste (paint, paint thinner, oil, gasoline, pesticides, chemicals)
- Hot ashes or coals
- Tires and vehicle parts, including car batteries
- Fluorescent bulbs and fixtures with ballasts
- Propane tanks and any sealed gas cylinder
- Refrigerators, freezers and AC units that still hold refrigerant
- Dead animals
- Asbestos, including old linoleum and its glue, asbestos roofing and asbestos insulation (see Section 7)
Load level with the top rail. A container piled above the rail can’t be legally tarped and hauled, so the driver will ask you to level it first. Bag loose, light trash and anything wet so it does not blow around on the drive out.
If neighbors toss junk in your container, that weight counts at the scale too. Driveway placement and steady loading help. The City of Las Cruces makes the renter responsible for keeping the area around a container clean and stopping others from dumping in it.
How much does it weigh? Approximate weight by material
| Material | Approx. weight per cubic yard | How much fits in 2 tons |
|---|---|---|
| Household junk and furniture | 200 to 350 lb | 11 to 20 cubic yards |
| Yard waste, brush and branches | 200 to 300 lb | 13 to 20 cubic yards |
| Mixed remodel debris | 500 to 800 lb | 5 to 8 cubic yards |
| Drywall | 500 to 600 lb | 6 to 8 cubic yards |
| Asphalt shingles | About 2 to 3 lb per square foot of roof | About 13 to 20 roof squares |
| Dirt, caliche and gravel | 2,000 to 3,000 lb | 1.3 to 2 cubic yards |
| Concrete and brick | 3,000 to 4,000 lb | 1 to 1.3 cubic yards |
Weights are typical industry averages and vary with moisture. Monsoon-soaked material weighs more. Use the table as a guide and call us for a real estimate.
Do I Need a Permit for a Dumpster in Las Cruces?
No, not if the dumpster sits fully on your own property: your driveway, yard or job site. Yes, if any of it sits on a public street, sidewalk or right-of-way. The City of Las Cruces traffic standards require approved traffic control before any part of the public right-of-way is blocked. Most homes never deal with this, because the container goes on the driveway. If the street is the only option, tell us when you book and we will walk you through what the city needs before the truck rolls.
Outside city limits, in places like Fairacres, Doña Ana or Organ, Doña Ana County roads have their own rules. Driveway placement keeps it simple there too.
Can a dumpster go in my driveway?
Yes, and it is where most of our containers go. You need a clear, level spot about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long for a 20 or 30-yard, plus room overhead for the truck to tilt the bed. Watch for low power lines and tree limbs. We put boards under the rails to protect the concrete.
Living in Sonoma Ranch, Picacho Hills or a newer East Mesa subdivision? Check your HOA rules before delivery day. Many limit where a container sits and for how long. A two-minute email to the HOA beats a violation letter.
Where does your debris end up?
We haul every load to South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA) facilities, so it is disposed of legally and locally. SCSWA is the joint city and county agency that runs the Amador Avenue Transfer Station at 2865 W. Amador Ave. and the Corralitos Regional Landfill at 14535 Robert Larson Blvd. Corralitos is a lined, engineered landfill on a 600-acre site about 15 miles west of Las Cruces along I-10.
A fact that matters if you plan to haul it yourself: SCSWA says you must have a solid waste account to use the landfill. It is not for residential drop-off. Residents can take loads to the Amador Avenue Transfer Station or a County Collection Center, with a minimum fee of $5 per load. For anything bigger than a pickup load or two, a container in the driveway is the easier route.
Las Cruces dump hours (Doña Ana County)
| Facility | Weekdays | Weekends | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amador Avenue Transfer Station and County Collection Centers | Mon to Fri, 7 AM to 5 PM (last load 4:45 PM) | Sat and Sun, 8 AM to 4 PM (last load 3:45 PM) | Residents, $5 minimum per load |
| Corralitos Regional Landfill | Mon to Fri, 7 AM to 3:45 PM (last load 3:30 PM) | Sat, 7 AM to 2 PM. Sun by appointment | Solid waste account holders only |
Hours are from SCSWA as of October 2026. They change on holidays. Corralitos closes Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Check scswa.net or call (575) 528-3800 before you go.
Residential, Commercial and Construction Dumpster Rental for Every Las Cruces Job
Home remodels and adobe renovations
Cabinets, countertops, tile and old flooring add up fast. A kitchen gut on a typical Las Cruces home fills most of a 20-yard. Adobe and plaster debris is heavy, so tell us if walls are coming down. Have the container land the day before demo starts so nothing gets piled in the yard.
Home and estate cleanouts
Clearing out a family home is hard enough without a hauler rushing you. We place the container where you want it and give you the time you need. Handling it from out of state? Plenty of families do. We work by phone and photos and keep you posted at every step.
Property managers, landlords, NMSU turnover and commercial
Landlords near New Mexico State University know the drill. May and August hit all at once. Reserve turnover containers early. Repeat accounts get priority scheduling and direct billing. We also handle store remodels, office cleanouts, restaurant build-outs and warehouse purges. We set containers where they will not block entrances or fire lanes and work around your business hours.
Military and PCS moves
Families tied to White Sands Missile Range and Fort Bliss work on orders, not wishes. Give us your report date and we will build the drop and pickup around it.
Construction, demolition and roofing dumpster rental
Remodelers, stucco crews and general contractors across the valley use us for scheduled drops, fast swap-outs and a dispatcher who answers. A crew waiting on a container is money burning. We treat it that way. Shingle, foam, tar and gravel, and clay tile roofs are all common here, and each weighs differently. Tell us the squares and roof type and we will spec the box and tonnage before tear-off day.
Yard waste, xeriscape and pecan orchard cleanup
Tearing out grass, hauling river rock, pulling a dead tree or clearing pecan limbs after a storm? Light green waste fits easily. Rock and caliche are heavy, so we size those loads honestly before you book.
Dumpster Rental Service Areas in Las Cruces and Doña Ana County
We deliver across all of Las Cruces, from the NMSU district and Downtown to the foothills of the Organ Mountains. That includes Sonoma Ranch, the East Mesa, Picacho Hills, Mesilla Park, Del Rey, Mesquite and Alameda. Close by, we cover Mesilla, Fairacres, Doña Ana, Radium Springs, Organ and Hatch.
Heading south, we run through Vado, La Mesa and Mesquite to Anthony, Chaparral, Sunland Park and Santa Teresa along the Texas line.
Junk Removal vs Dumpster Rental in Las Cruces: Which Is Cheaper?
For most projects, a dumpster rental is cheaper when you have more than a pickup load or two and can do the loading yourself. Junk removal costs more per load because you pay for the crew’s labor, but it is the better pick when you have a few heavy items and no one to carry them. We offer both, so we will tell you honestly which one fits.
| Dumpster rental | Junk removal | |
|---|---|---|
| Who loads it | You, at your own pace | Our crew, in one visit |
| How it is priced | One flat price for the container, 7 days and set tonnage | By how much of the truck you fill, with labor built in |
| Best for | Remodels, roofs, cleanouts and construction spread over days | A few couches, a hot tub, or one-time pickups |
| Time on your property | Up to 7 days, longer at $15 a day | An hour or two |
| Space needed | A driveway or level spot about 25 to 30 feet long | None |
Quick answer: If you can fill a 15-yard dumpster, the flat $349 almost always beats paying a crew. If you only have a few things and no help to lift them, junk removal is the easier call.
Case Study: Whole-Home Cleanout in Sonoma Ranch
The job. A Sonoma Ranch homeowner had 20 years of garage clutter to clear out. On top of that, a monsoon storm had just dropped pecan branches across the backyard. Family was flying in, and all of it had to be gone before they landed.
What we did. We matched the job to a 20-yard roll-off and dropped it the same afternoon they called. Sonoma Ranch has HOA rules on placement, so we set it tight to the driveway, on boards, clear of the sidewalk and the street.
How it went. They filled it over the weekend: old furniture, boxes and the storm-downed pecan branches. We hauled it away Monday morning.
The result. One container. One haul. No second trip and no surprise fees. The price they heard on the phone is the price they paid.
Lesson for your job: mixed household junk and yard waste are light for their size, so a 20-yard handled a full garage plus storm debris without getting close to its 3-ton limit.
Dumpster Rental Reviews From Las Cruces Customers
We are a local company, and most of our work comes from word of mouth across Las Cruces and Doña Ana County. Here is what customers say after the container leaves the driveway.
Sonoma Ranch and Picacho Hills: HOA rules are common. We place tight to the driveway.
East Mesa: new builds and lots of xeriscape work. Expect caliche and rock loads.
Mesilla, Mesilla Park, Mesquite and Alameda: older streets and smaller lots. The 15-yard often fits best.
Fairacres, Doña Ana and Hatch: farm and orchard country. Pecan limbs and barn cleanouts are common.
Near NMSU: student rental turnover peaks in May and August.
Anthony, Chaparral and Sunland Park: inside our normal service area, same flat pricing.
Outside these towns? Call anyway. If a truck can reach you in our service radius, we will quote it. See every town we serve
When to Book a Dumpster in Las Cruces: A Seasonal Guide
The Mesilla Valley has its own calendar. Book a day or two ahead in busy windows and same-day the rest of the year.
| SEASON | WHAT IS HAPPENING | BOOKING TIP |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (March to May) | Windstorms, spring cleaning, xeriscape projects, NMSU move-outs in May | Book 2 to 3 days ahead in May. Rock and gravel jobs need a heavy-debris load |
| Summer monsoon (June 15 to September 30) | Storm debris, downed pecan limbs, roof tear-offs, wet drywall | Call early in the day. Wet material weighs more, so size up or plan for overage |
| August | NMSU move-ins, rental turnovers, PCS military moves | Landlords should reserve a week ahead |
| Fall and winter (October to February) | Holiday prep cleanouts, estate cleanouts, orchard pruning, indoor remodels | Most open schedule of the year. Same-day drop-off is easiest now |
Tip: Roofers and anyone doing outdoor work often aim for spring or fall to avoid summer heat and monsoon storms. Those dates fill early, so lock in your container when you lock in your contractor.
