Dump or dumpster: which is cheaper in Phoenix?

For a pickup load or two, hauling it yourself usually wins. Once a cleanout or remodel runs to several loads, a dumpster can cost less than your time, fuel and repeated gate fees.

Haul it yourself

Gate fee by weight, by load, or free for residents at some city sites

  • Official local rate: The city's 2023 rate sheet lists $55 per ton over the free ton, $20 per refrigerant appliance after the first, and up to 5 passenger tires a year free for residents with ID.
  • You need a truck or trailer, a way to cover and secure the load, and time for each round trip
  • Best for 1-2 pickup loads, yard waste, or single items like a mattress or appliance
  • Resident-only sites usually ask for ID or proof of address

Rent a dumpster

One price delivery, haul-away and disposal together

  • Dropped at your driveway; you load at your own pace, then it's hauled away
  • Best for several pickup loads: a 15 yard holds about 4 pickup loads and a 20 yard about 6 (redbox+)
  • Weight limits and extra-ton fees vary by company, so compare quotes
