Dumpster Rental in Tyler: Sizes, Prices and the Rules
A roll-off dumpster in Tyler runs about $400 for a 15-yard to $550 for a 25-yard at one local company's posted prices, with 7 days and 1 to 3 tons included. You have two kinds of options: private roll-off companies, and the City of Tyler's own 20- to 45-yard roll-offs, which you order by phone. Either way, the load ends up at Greenwood Farms Landfill, which refuses anything with refrigerant.
Dumpster sizes and prices in Tyler
Posted by one Tyler roll-off company in October 2026. The City of Tyler doesn't post roll-off prices, so call for its quote and compare.
| Size | Good for | Price | Weight included | Rental |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 yard | Bathroom remodel, a garage or shed cleanout | $400 | 1 ton | 7 days |
| 20 yard | Kitchen remodel, a whole-room cleanout | $475 | 2 tons | 7 days |
| 25 yard | Whole-house cleanout, a roof tear-off | $550 | 3 tons | 7 days |
The same company charges $50 for each ton over the allowance and $20 a day past 7 days. The City of Tyler rents 20-, 30-, 40- and 45-yard roll-offs; call Solid Waste at (903) 531-1388.
Why weight sets the price
Tyler dumpsters are emptied at Greenwood Farms Landfill (12920 FM 2767), owned by the City and operated by Republic Services, open Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 6:30 a.m. to noon. Commercial and non-resident loads pay the gate rate by weight; the landfill doesn't post it, so a hauler's overage charge per ton is the number to compare. Mattresses cost $63 each at the gate, and every load must be tarped.

Tyler rules before you rent
Who can haul it
Tyler's code lets businesses use the City's collection service or an approved commercial hauler, at the owner's option (section 16-5). Private roll-off companies and the City both serve Tyler.
Driveway or street?
The code says no garbage container may be placed in an alley or other public way without authorization from the Solid Waste Director (section 16-4). Keep the dumpster on your driveway, or call Solid Waste at (903) 531-1388 before it goes in the street.
Free alternative for small loads
City of Tyler residents get 3 cubic yards free per water bill at Greenwood Farms (bring photo ID and the original bill, issued within 45 days). For a small cleanout, that can beat renting a dumpster.
What can't go in the dumpster
Texas law keeps whole tires and lead-acid car batteries out of landfills. Greenwood Farms also refuses refrigerators, freezers and A/C units, liquids, liquid paint, hazardous waste and used oil filters, and tires need special handling. Plan to recycle those separately.
Do you need a dumpster at all?
Tyler's free 3-cubic-yard allowance per water bill covers a pickup load or two. The Downtown Recycle Center on N. Bois D'Arc takes cardboard, paper, cans and plastics free. Every drop-off site, with hours and fees, is on our Tyler dump page.
