Ultimate Dumpsters' Dallas tables (7-day, all-in; overage $165/ton, extra days $45/day) set the broker frame; DFW locals undercut it — U Dump It lists a 10-yard at $250 and 20-yard at $575, Trinity Dumpsters a 20-yard at $475 with overage at just $85/ton. ZTERS quotes on a 10-day basis. Dumpsters.com puts Dallas all-size prices at $405–$1,035. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
Driveway and private lots: no permit. On a public street, sidewalk or alley you need a Right-of-Way permit from Dallas Public Works, secured before delivery. Dallas permits run in 7-day terms with fees that escalate the longer the container stays (typically $25–$75, 3–5 business days to process) — haulers usually file for you. In older neighborhoods (the M Streets, Lakewood, Oak Cliff) alley or street placement is often the only practical drop, which is what pushes many Dallas rentals onto the permit path. Each suburb runs its own program.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
