Marin Sanitary Service rents debris boxes (a.k.a. dumpsters) for the collection of construction and demolition (C&D), remodeling, yard waste, junk removal, and large household clean-ups in San Rafael, San Anselmo, Ross, Kentfield, Kent Woodlands, Fairfax, Greenbrae, Larkspur and other unincorporated areas of Marin County.
All debris boxes are processed through the Marin Resource Recovery Center to collect any recyclable materials from the debris.
Hazardous materials may not be placed in a debris box, but can be disposed of for a fee for commercial customers or free of charge for residential customers at the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility.
No Treated Wood Waste
As of January 1, 2021, waste haulers in the County of Marin cannot accept treated wood waste at their facilities, in their debris boxes, or in the garbage, recycling, or composting bins as treated wood is now considered hazardous waste.
An encroachment permit may be required by the city/town/or county to have a debris box placed in the public right-of-way such as a public street or walk-way. The purpose of the permit is to ensure that applicable standards are followed and that work is done safely with minimal impact to nearby property and pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle travel.
MSS cannot offer permits. Please check with the city or town you live in for the rules.
This does not apply to boxes placed on private property.
For disposal of material weighing less than 400 pounds per cubic yard. Additional $161.00 per ton charge for boxes over maximum weight. Program details and prices are subject to change.
Please call us at (415) 456-2601 for program details and questions regarding pricing.
One cubic yard is equivalent to seven (7), 32-gallon containers.
