ZTERS' smallest standard. A go-to for heavy debris (dirt, brick, concrete, shingles) and small mixed Waco cleanouts.
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.
Our most-requested size for Waco home renos, from Sanger Heights to Woodway. Low side walls let DIYers walk debris in and toss over the side.
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.
Largest standard roll-off. New construction, major demolition, full home siding replacements, and commercial-scale Waco cleanouts.
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.
Heavy-debris workhorse. Built for dirt, brick, concrete, and roof-tear-off shingles where weight matters more than volume.
Holds 4–5 pickup truck loads or 60–85 trash bags. Generous weight allowance — heavy materials hit the weight cap long before they fill the volume.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits single-room renos and basement cleanouts.
Bridges heavy-debris bins and mid-size cleanouts. Good fit for Waco multi-room remodels and garage cleanouts with bulky items.
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.
Taller profile (6 ft walls) is ideal for bulky debris. Common for larger Waco home renovations and partial roof replacements.
Holds about 6 pickup truck loads or 80+ trash bags. The 6-ft walls mean heavy or bulky items load best through the rear swing door.
Best for larger home renovations, partial roof replacements, mid-sized construction, and hybrid residential and light-commercial jobs.
More vertical capacity than the 20-yard with a similar footprint. Built for office cleanouts, commercial remodels, and bulky debris.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads. A meaningful step up from the 20-yard for projects that have more bulk than weight.
Best for residential renovations with bulky debris, office and commercial remodels, and large estate cleanouts.
Built for large Waco jobs — full home renovations, estate cleanups, active construction sites, and commercial mixed debris.
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.
Niche size between 30 and 40 yard — when 30 will overflow but you don't want to pay for a 40 you won't fill.
Holds about 10–11 pickup truck loads or 200+ trash bags.
Best for large home cleanouts where furniture and appliance volume drives the need, mid-to-large construction, and whole-house remodels with significant bulky debris.

A short look at how ZTERS works — who we are, how we deliver, and why Waco customers keep coming back.
Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, no. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property such as a driveway, yard, or private parking lot, the City of Waco does not require a permit, and this covers the majority of residential rentals, including kitchen remodels, garage cleanouts, and roof tear-offs.
A permit is required only when the container occupies the public right-of-way — a street, alley, curb, gutter, or sidewalk. In that case the City of Waco Engineering Department, part of Public Works at 300 Austin Avenue, issues a right-of-way obstruction permit before placement. The permit ensures the bin does not block traffic, drainage, or pedestrian access, and approved placements typically need reflective markings, cones, or barricades while staying clear of fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, and intersections.
Because the City updates its forms, fees, and conditions from time to time, confirm the current requirement with the City or let your ZTERS representative verify it for your specific address before scheduling. If any part of the placement will sit on public property, it is worth a quick check so delivery is not delayed.
Waco dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and other factors. Waco dumpster costs range from $372 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $648 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $130 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices. Here is an estimate of ZTERS Waco dumpster prices by size:
| Dumpster Size | Low Estimate | High Estimate | Rental Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $372 | $561 | 10 days |
| 20 Yard | $318 | $494 | 10 days |
| 30 Yard | $341 | $523 | 10 days |
| 40 Yard | $469 | $648 | 10 days |
For most renters, the most efficient approach is to have your dumpster company handle the permit. If your placement requires a right-of-way obstruction permit because the bin will sit on a street, alley, curb, or sidewalk, ZTERS can coordinate the application with the City of Waco Engineering Department, include the cost in your rental, and align approval with your delivery date.
Property owners who prefer to file directly can apply through the City of Waco Engineering Department, part of Public Works at 300 Austin Avenue, Waco, TX 76702; the City's main line is (254) 299-2489. The Engineering Department reviews right-of-way work that affects streets, alleys, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and that is the office to confirm whether your specific placement needs a permit. Because forms, fees, and processing times can change, verify the current details with the City directly before you submit.
If you are unsure which path applies to your project, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling. A brief consultation can confirm the requirements, and in many cases the permit can be handled at booking so it lines up with your delivery date.
Yes, with a permit. Any time a roll-off occupies the public right-of-way — a street, curb, gutter, alley, or sidewalk — the City of Waco requires a right-of-way obstruction permit through the Engineering Department under Public Works. The permit ensures the container does not block traffic, drainage, emergency access, or pedestrian routes, and it traces back to the city ordinances governing use of public streets and sidewalks. Applications should precede delivery scheduling so approval lines up with your drop-off.
Approved placements should be made visible with reflective markings, cones, or barricades, and the bin must stay clear of fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, and intersections so driver sight lines and emergency access are preserved. Placements that would close or narrow a travel lane generally require additional review, and the Engineering Department is the office to confirm exactly what your location needs. Because the specifics can change, verify current rules with the City before staging a container in the street.
For most renters, the simplest option is to have ZTERS coordinate the permit at booking. The cost is included in the rental, approval is timed to delivery, and if any portion of the placement is on public property your rep can confirm the requirements with the City first.
ZTERS provides service throughout the Waco metro and across McLennan County. Inside the city this includes Sanger Heights, Castle Heights and the Austin Avenue corridor, Brook Oaks, Downtown and the Silos district, North Waco, Dean Highland, Mountainview, Provident Heights, Landon Branch, Cameron Park, East Waco, and the area around Baylor University.
Coverage extends to the surrounding communities as well. ZTERS regularly delivers to Bellmead, Lacy-Lakeview, and Elm Mott to the north and east; Beverly Hills, Robinson, and Lorena to the south; and Woodway, Hewitt, McGregor, Crawford, West, and Riesel across the broader county. If your project falls within a Waco-area zip code, ZTERS can almost certainly arrange delivery. For addresses at the edges of the county or in newly developed areas, a brief call with a ZTERS representative will confirm coverage and pricing.
Delivery timing depends on when the order is placed and the current capacity of local haulers. Many Waco providers advertise same-day or next-day delivery, and these timelines are achievable in best-case scenarios. Same-day delivery is generally possible when an order is placed before 10 a.m. and the customer is flexible on size. Next-day delivery is more typical for orders placed later in the day. For routine planning, 1 to 3 business days is the safer estimate. During peak remodeling and roofing seasons in spring and summer, plus the period after Central Texas storms, 3 to 5 days of lead time is more realistic given demand.
The general guideline is to schedule as far in advance as possible. Booking three to four days ahead provides flexibility on size, time window, and placement. Same-day requests are subject to remaining route capacity, which may require accepting a different size, paying a rush fee, or rescheduling for the following day. ZTERS accommodates last-minute requests whenever feasible but cannot guarantee them. For projects already on the calendar, early booking is recommended. For unexpected situations such as storm cleanup or an accelerated contractor schedule, contact ZTERS directly to determine the fastest available option.
The right size depends on the scope of the project and the density of the debris. A single bathroom remodel typically fits in a 10 or 15 yard dumpster, with the 10 yard preferred when significant tile or concrete backer board is being removed, since dense material hits the weight cap before it fills the bin. Master bathroom gut renovations and multi-bathroom jobs generally require a 20 yard. A full kitchen remodel, including cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, drywall, and appliances, also typically calls for a 20 yard. Multi-room renovations and additions move up to a 25 or 30 yard, and whole-house renovations or major demolitions fall in the 30 to 40 yard range. For roof tear-offs, a 20 yard handles roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of single-layer asphalt shingles, which covers most Waco homes. Larger homes, multiple shingle layers, or architectural shingles usually require a 30 yard, while smaller homes around 1,500 square feet with a single layer can be served by a 10 yard heavy-debris bin.
A few Waco-specific factors are worth considering. Spring and summer storms drive a high volume of last-minute roofing and water-damage cleanouts, and projects involving demolition or remediation can be hard to size accurately, so sizing up is usually the better value when debris volume is uncertain. HOAs in newer communities around Woodway, Hewitt, and Robinson sometimes regulate dumpster placement and duration, which can favor a larger bin so the work wraps up in fewer rental cycles. In older neighborhoods such as Sanger Heights and Castle Heights, narrow driveways and mature trees can limit where a long container fits, so confirm access before delivery. Because Central Texas gets heavy downpours, keep debris below the rim so standing water does not add weight; a load that hits the weight cap costs more than a slightly larger bin would have. When choosing between two sizes, sizing up is usually the better value: the price difference between a 20 and 30 yard is typically far smaller than the cost of a second haul, and renovations often generate more debris than expected.
