Every figure below is a published starting rate. It includes delivery, pickup and disposal up to that size's included weight limit, and it covers the rental period shown.

Full dimensions, tonnage and the sizing logic behind those four boxes live on the sizes & pricing page. This page is about the money: what the rate covers, what can be added to it, and how to land on the low number.
What is included in the published price?
Three things, on every size. Delivery to your address, pickup when you are finished, and disposal of the load up to that size's included weight limit. That is the transparent pricing policy the operator publishes, and it is why the starting rate is a starting rate rather than a deposit.
How much weight comes with each box?
- 15 yard: 2 tons included
- 20 yard: 2 tons included
- 25 yard: 3 tons included
- 30 yard: 5 tons included
Included tonnage is the number that decides most invoices. A container fills twice, once on volume and once on weight, and on dense material the scale wins long before the rim does. The weight limits page walks through which materials do that and how to load around it.
How long is the rental period?
Up to 7 days is included across the sizes, and the 15, 20 and 25 yard boxes also carry a published 3-day starting rate for a weekend job. For reference, ASAP Marketplace reports a 7-day rental as the industry standard for most residential projects, so the included window here is the normal one rather than a short one.

National market figure: Budget Dumpster puts the industry overage rate at $50 to $250 per ton.
Published here: $30 per half ton over the tonnage included with that size, which the operator also states as $60 per ton.
That is a national market figure, not our rate. Ours is published above, and the phone call gets you the number for your address.
What can be added to the price?
Everything that can appear on top of the starting rate is published up front. There is no category of charge that only shows up on the invoice. Here is the complete list, and what triggers each one.
- Overweight load: $30 per half ton over the tonnage included with that size, stated by the operator as $60 per ton
- Extra days: $10 per day past the included rental window
- Inactivity: after 7 days of non-action, $10 per day of inactivity applies
- Trip charge: $50
- Return trip: $50 to come back and pick the container up
- Distance: a per-mile charge applies after 20 miles
- Swap-out: if the box fills early it can be emptied and returned, and the repeat charge equals the amount paid for the previous rental
- Certain items: tires and mattresses can carry an additional fee
Payment is due prior to delivery of the container. Cash and all major credit and debit cards are accepted, which means Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, plus CashApp, Apple Pay and Venmo, and there is online ordering and online payment.
How do you keep the bill at the published rate?
Almost every add-on above is triggered by something that could have been settled in a two-minute phone call before the box arrived. Four habits cover it.
Why does naming the material matter so much?
Because the size gets picked on weight math, not on how big the pile looks. Concrete, brick, tile, plaster, shingles, dirt and sod all reach the included tonnage while the container still looks half empty. Drywall, cabinetry, carpet, furniture and yard waste do the opposite and run out of space first. Say which one you have and the crew sizes it straight, and gives loading instructions if the load is heavy.
When should you call about the return?
Before the rental window closes, not after. Extra days are $10 each, and the inactivity charge starts after 7 days of non-action, so a container that is finished with should be called in rather than left on the drive.
Should you book the bigger box to be safe?
Not on heavy material. On plaster, tile, shingles or concrete, a bigger box does not raise the included tonnage in proportion, so the honest call is often a smaller box plus loading instructions. On bulky-light cleanout junk the opposite is true, and stepping up one size is cheaper than paying for a second haul.
What has to be true at pickup?
The load has to stay level with the rim. Containers are tarped for transport by law, so nothing can ride above the top rail. If a load is over-full the excess has to come off before pickup, and a $50 return trip fee applies when a second run is needed. The what fits and what does not page has the legal exclusion list, which is the other way a load becomes a problem at the gate.

Dumpster rental cost in Tulsa: common questions
What does each dumpster size cost in Tulsa?
Published starting rates: the 15 yard from $299 on a 3-day rental and $325 for 7 days, the 20 yard from $329 and $350 for 7 days, the 25 yard from $379 and $400 for 7 days, and the 30 yard at $475 for 7 days. Every one of those includes delivery, pickup and disposal up to that size's included weight limit. The exact number for your address and material comes from one short phone call.
What is included in the published dumpster price?
Delivery, pickup and disposal up to the size's included weight limit, plus the rental period itself. The 15 and 20 yard boxes include 2 tons, the 25 yard includes 3 tons, and the 30 yard includes 5 tons. The published rates cover up to 7 days, and the two smaller sizes also have published 3-day rates. That is the whole of what the starting rate buys.
Are there hidden fees on a Tulsa dumpster rental?
No. Every add-on the operator can charge is published: $60 per ton over the included tonnage (stated as $30 per half ton), $10 per day past the rental window, $10 per day of inactivity after 7 days of non-action, a $50 trip charge, a $50 return trip fee, and a per-mile charge past 20 miles. Nothing on that list appears without something happening on the job first.
How much does it cost to keep the dumpster longer?
Extending the rental period costs $10 per day past the included window, which is up to 7 days on the published rates. Call before the window closes rather than after. On top of that, if the container sits unused for 7 days with no action on it, a charge of $10 per day of inactivity applies, so a box parked and forgotten is not free to leave sitting.
What does it cost to go over the weight limit?
Overweight loads are charged $30 per half ton over the tonnage included with that size, which the operator also states as $60 per ton. For scale, Budget Dumpster puts the industry overage rate at $50 to $250 per ton nationally, so $60 sits at the low end of that band. Concrete, brick, tile, plaster and shingles are what get you there while the box still looks half empty.
Is there a delivery charge outside the Tulsa metro?
The published rates cover the Tulsa metro, which includes Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Owasso, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Catoosa and Glenpool. A per-mile charge applies after 20 miles, and the booking process shows any potential mileage charge before you commit. Give the full address on the call so the mileage is settled before the truck rolls, not at the gate.
What does a swap-out cost if the box fills up early?
If the container fills before the job is finished, it can be emptied and returned. The repeat charge equals the amount paid for the previous rental. On a big project it is often cheaper to start one size up than to pay for a second haul, and the crew will tell you honestly which way the math falls for the material you describe.
When do I pay, and which payment methods work?
Payment is due prior to delivery of the container. Cash and all major credit and debit cards work, which means Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, plus CashApp, Apple Pay and Venmo. There is online ordering and a secure way to pay online as well, so an office does not have to chase a check to get a box on site.
Do mattresses or tires cost extra to throw away?
Tires and mattresses can carry an additional fee, so say what you have when you book rather than discovering it at pickup. Tires in particular are on the legally excluded list along with paint, herbicides, pesticides, asbestos, chemicals, oil, fuels, electronics and appliances with Freon, so a few tires is a conversation before the load, not after.
Which dumpster size is the cheapest for my project?
The cheapest box is the smallest one your material actually fits, and material decides that more often than volume does. A cluttered garage of bulky-light junk runs about 80 to 100 trash bags and fits the 15 yard. Plaster, tile, shingles or concrete hit the tonnage long before the rim, so the honest answer there is a smaller box and a loading call, not a bigger box.
How does Tulsa dumpster pricing compare to national rates?
Starting rates here run $299 to $475 depending on size and rental length. On the charge that most often surprises people, Budget Dumpster puts the national industry overage rate at $50 to $250 per ton against the $60 per ton published here. ASAP Marketplace reports 7 days as the industry standard rental window, which is what the published rates already include.
