What’s included in the price?
A typical Yuma quote covers delivery, pickup, about 7 days and disposal of about 2 to 5 tons, by size. It works like a flat rate up to the weight limit.
The landfill charges by the ton to accept a load. That charge is called a tipping fee. A typical quote already includes the tipping fee for the included tons. You only pay more if the load goes over the weight limit or you keep the dumpster longer.
Ask whether sales tax is in the quote. Then ask for the full total in writing before delivery day.
Every fee you could see, and when it applies
Here are the fees a Yuma dumpster company may charge, with typical amounts and the trigger. Fear of hidden fees is fair. Bills that come in higher than the quote are a top complaint in national dumpster reviews.
Typical Yuma fees (October 2026)
| Fee | Typical amount | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Overage | $50–$100 per ton | The landfill weighs the load and it’s over the tons included |
| Extra day | $10–$30 per day | You keep the dumpster past the rental period, usually 7 days |
| Dry run (trip fee) | About $195–$200, as customers report | The driver can’t drop or pick up the dumpster, for example a car blocks the spot or a gate is locked |
| Cancellation | Varies; reported fees run from $25 to about $210 | You cancel late or on the same day |
| Prohibited item | Varies; ask before you load anything questionable | Something on the banned list turns up in the load |

A dry run means the truck made the trip but couldn’t do the job. Clear the spot, move cars and share any gate code before delivery. The delivery prep checklist covers the rest.
Some items can’t go in at all. Arizona law keeps waste tires out of landfills unless ADEQ approves, and it bans lead-acid batteries from them. See what can and can’t go in a dumpster before you load.
When is an overage billed, and do I get the scale ticket?
An overage is billed after the landfill weighs your load and the weight is over what’s included. Ask for a copy of the landfill scale ticket if you’re billed for overage.
The scale ticket is the landfill’s weight receipt. If you’re charged for extra tons, that ticket is your proof of what the load weighed.
Timing matters too. One national broker’s fee page says an overage can post up to 120 days after pickup. Late bills with no weight shown are a top complaint in national reviews. Ask the hauler two questions before you book:
- When would an overage charge post to my card?
- Will you send me the scale ticket with the charge?
How much weight is included, and what does an extra ton cost?
Each size typically includes about 2 to 5 tons, and each extra ton typically costs $50–$100 in Yuma, as of October 2026. Your exact limits are confirmed on the call.
Volume and weight are two different limits. A dumpster can look half empty and still be over its weight limit. Concrete, dirt, rock, roof shingles and wet drywall are the heavy ones. Furniture, cardboard and household junk are light for their size.
If your job is mostly heavy debris, say so when you call. The right size for concrete is often smaller than you’d guess. Our size guide covers concrete and dirt.
What makes a dumpster cost more or less?
Five things set the price. They are size, weight, rental length, where you are, and what’s in the load.
| Price driver | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size | Bigger dumpsters cost more to haul and hold more weight |
| Weight | Each ton over the limit typically adds $50–$100 |
| Rental length | Days past the rental period typically add $10–$30 each |
| Location | Ask whether a distance charge applies to your town |
| Material | Heavy or mixed debris fills the weight limit fast |
Landfill rates feed into every quote. We couldn’t find published per-ton rates for South Yuma County Landfill, Copper Mountain Landfill or the Republic Services transfer station in Yuma. That’s why your exact price comes from the hauler on the call, not a public list.
Does monsoon rain change the price?
Yes, it can. Rain soaks into open debris and adds weight, and weight can mean an overage.
Monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30. September is Yuma’s wettest month, with a normal of 0.68 inches of rain (NOAA 1991–2020 normals). Drywall, carpet, cardboard and yard waste soak up the most water.
Cover the load with a tarp when storms are in the forecast. A tarp also keeps light debris from blowing out during dust storms.
How can I keep the cost down?
Pick the right size, keep heavy debris in check and avoid fees you can control. These steps help:
- Get the size right the first time. A second dumpster means a second delivery and pickup. Call us and ask which size fits your job.
- Plan your days. Have the work ready to start the day the dumpster lands. Extra days typically cost $10–$30 each.
- Keep the spot clear on delivery day. That avoids a trip fee, which customers report at about $195–$200.
- Pull out scrap metal. Metal recyclers may take or buy it, which keeps weight out of the dumpster. Our Yuma dump guide lists local options.
- Use free programs for what they take. City of Yuma residents get free curbside bulky-item pickup during the Neighborhood Cleanup. In 2026 it ran January 26 to early April. It doesn’t take construction debris. Call the City to confirm next year’s dates.
- Take paint and chemicals to the free collection. The City of Yuma lists its next household hazardous waste event for Saturday, November 14, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon, at 1473 S. 2nd Ave. Call Public Works at 928-373-4500 to confirm.
- Get the total in writing. Ask for the full price, tons, days and every fee in writing.
Is it cheaper to haul it myself?
For a few pickup loads of household junk, yes. Yuma County runs free transfer sites for household, non-commercial loads.
| Free county site | Address | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| North Gila Valley Transfer Site | 7870 E. County 5th St, Yuma | 7 days, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. |
| South County Transfer Station | 5563 W. County 19th St, Somerton | Thu to Sat, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. |
| Tacna Transfer Site | 39745 E. County 8th St, Tacna | Fri and Sat, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. |
| Dateland Transfer Site | 61818 N. County 2nd St, Dateland | Sun, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. |
| Wellton Transfer Site | 12850 S. Avenue 29E, Wellton | Sun and Mon, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; may charge |
Sources: Yuma County transfer station guide (July 2026), Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (2025-07-10) and City of San Luis (2026-08-05). The Wellton charge note is from the Town of Wellton. Call Yuma County Public Works at 928-341-2500 to confirm hours and accepted items before you go.
A dumpster makes more sense in these cases:
- Remodels and roof tear-offs. The free sites take non-commercial loads, and a big job means many trips.
- Contractor work. Commercial loads can’t go to the free county sites.
- No truck or trailer. Renting one adds cost and loading time.
- A deadline. The South County station is open three days a week.

Is the price locked once quoted?
It should be. Ask for the total in writing before delivery, and keep a copy.
A written quote should list the size, price, tons included, rental days, overage per ton, extra-day fee and trip fee. If the final bill differs, that quote is what you compare it to.
