Dumpster Rental in Ocala & Marion County: Sizes, Prices and the Rules
A roll-off dumpster in Ocala runs about $345 for a 10-yard to $575 for a 30-yard at one local company's posted prices, with 14 days and 1 to 3 tons included. Weight is what moves the price: every ton goes to a scale, and Marion County's Baseline Transfer Station charges $65 a ton for household junk and construction debris. One rule catches people: inside Ocala city limits, household cleanouts belong to the City unless it approves a private hauler.

Why weight sets the price
Most Ocala-area dumpsters are emptied at Marion County's Baseline Transfer Station (5601 SE 66th Street), which charges $65 a ton ($3.25 per 100 lbs) for household garbage, furniture and construction debris, $48 a ton for yard waste and $60 a ton for appliances and metal. A full 20-yard of construction debris weighs about 4 tons by EPA's conversion factor (417 pounds a cubic yard): about $270 at Baseline's rate, which is why a dumpster company charges for every ton over your allowance. Shingles, tile, dirt and concrete fill a dumpster by weight long before they fill it by volume.

Ocala rules before you rent
Inside Ocala city limits
The City of Ocala collects household waste inside city limits. Under the city code, a private hauler needs a City permit for each customer and location, can only get one when the City can't handle the job itself, and can't place a container inside city limits without the City's permission (Code sections 54-33, 54-73 and 54-95). For a home cleanout inside the city, call City of Ocala Sanitation first: residential (352) 351-6697, commercial (352) 351-6740.
Remodeling and construction jobs
Construction and demolition debris is the exception: the code makes builders and contractors responsible for removing it, and they may hire a properly licensed commercial hauler (section 54-33(c)). The City's private-service permit rule doesn't apply to temporary building or construction sites.
Unincorporated Marion County
The County doesn't offer curbside pickup and lists ten franchised haulers on its Solid Waste website. Ask any dumpster company whether it can serve your address.
Driveway or street?
A dumpster on your own driveway is the simple case. Anything in a street, alley or right-of-way inside the city needs the City's approval first, so ask before delivery day.
What can't go in the dumpster
Florida law keeps whole tires, lead-acid car batteries and appliances out of landfills, and fridges, freezers and A/C units need their refrigerant recovered first. Dumpster companies also refuse paint, chemicals, fuel and other hazardous waste. At Baseline, tires cost $3 for a car tire, $10 for a truck tire, or $165 a ton.
Do you need a dumpster at all?
For one load you can haul yourself, Baseline charges a flat $10 for a car or $20 for a truck without a trailer, Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Construction debris can also go to the private C&D sites listed on our Ocala page. Every drop-off site, with hours and fees, is on our Ocala dump page.
