Dumpster Rental in
Tijeras, NM
Cleanout, remodel or roofing tear-off, there is a container size for it here in Tijeras — 10 through 40 yards, with the 10 yard at $570-$625 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 6am–6pm MT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
You're clearing out a detached garage near Carlito Springs Open Space, and the pile is mostly lumber and old drywall, not appliances. Tijeras lots tend to run small with older outbuildings, so remodel debris here skews toward wood, shingles, and plaster rather than heavy furniture. A cleanout job with mixed household items calls for different volume than a tear-out where everything is one material. Knowing which one you're doing narrows the size question before you ever look at a price.
You're standing in the driveway trying to figure out where 15 feet of steel is actually going to fit. Tijeras sits along NM 14, and most driveways here are short with a grade change right where the pavement meets the highway shoulder, and that lip can hang up a truck's tail end on delivery. If your property backs up near Luis Garcia Park, overhead branches along the property line are worth checking too. Before the truck comes, walk the spot you want the container and make sure there's nothing low hanging directly above it, and measure the width so the driver knows before they're already backing in.
Dumpster Sizes in Tijeras
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Tijeras, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
A 10 yard holds about three pickup-truck loads. That covers a closet-by-closet cleanout, a deck teardown, or the tile and mortar from one bathroom. $570 to $625.
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.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $615 to $750. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
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.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $755 to $880. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
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.
The 15 yard adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with it.
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.
The 30 yard runs $670 to $765 and has tall walls, so it earns its price on bulk rather than weight: siding, framing, a whole-house clearout.
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.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Tijeras, NM
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Tijeras driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Tijeras
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Tijeras, NM?
Dumpster rental pricing in Tijeras varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Tijeras
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $570 – $625 | $375 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $615 – $750 | $315 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $670 – $765 | $385 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $755 – $880 | $345 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Tijeras address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 915-4341 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Tijeras
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tijeras dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Tijeras dumpster costs range from $570 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $880 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
The landfill sets the rules, and the short version is: nothing hazardous. Paint, solvents and other liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances still holding refrigerant all stay out.
Ordinary demolition and cleanout debris is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt can go in, but they are billed by weight, so flag them when you book. When in doubt about an item, ask first; it beats paying to have it pulled back out.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Tijeras moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
Delivery and pickup here happen on the day you book, dropped and collected without needing you on site for either end. A permit generally isn't required for a dumpster placed on your own driveway or property in Tijeras. If you need to set it on Old US Highway 66 or another public right-of-way, Bernalillo County handles that permit.
Once your delivery day is set, the container goes down and comes back up on that schedule without extra steps on your end for a driveway placement. Applying only matters if the dumpster needs to sit on public ground, like along NM 14. In that case, Bernalillo County's public works office is who to contact for the permit application.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Three things before the truck arrives. Surface: a level spot on pavement or packed gravel, long enough for the container plus a straight run in behind it. Clearance: nothing overhead, because the bed tilts higher than the container stands and a low limb or service line stops the drop cold. Access: move vehicles off the drive the night before and unlock any gate the driver would need.
Plywood under the rails keeps a soft or freshly sealed driveway from marking. Mark the spot if you will not be home. A blocked drop usually turns into a trip charge and a rescheduled delivery, which is the one avoidable cost in the whole rental.
