Roll-off containers across Alice and Jim Wells County, from a fully licensed South Texas hauler.
What we haul in Alice
Alice earned the "Hub City" name the practical way, by sitting at the crossroads of State Highway 44 and US-281 between the Port of Corpus Christi and the border, and becoming the place supplies and construction moved through for the rest of South Texas. Dumpster rental in Alice still tracks that role.
We stage containers at the service yards and distribution operations along the highways, for the oilfield-service companies that have kept yards in town since the old Jim Wells oil days, and for the equipment and inventory turnover that a logistics town runs on.
The county seat keeps the rest busy. There is commercial construction and remodeling along the SH-44 and US-281 frontage, courthouse and school district work, and the older building stock downtown getting refreshed. Ranching and farming around the county add land-clearing and property cleanup to the mix.
Service-yard and distribution work comes in cycles, so we keep swaps tight rather than let a full box block a working yard. When one fills, it goes out for disposal and a fresh container takes its place on a separate rental.
Container Sizes
We run three roll-off sizes, and the right one depends on the job.
The 20-yard works for a yard cleanup or a remodel where heavy material loads the box before it fills. The 30-yard covers most commercial and service-yard jobs. The 40-yard handles new construction and the bulky debris that stacks up on a distribution site or a larger build.
Call and tell us the job, and we will steer you to the size that carries it without sending out more container than the work needs.

What Affects Your Quote
We quote by the job rather than post a flat number, because a few things move the cost. Container size is the first. The weight and type of material going in is the second, since heavy debris like concrete or shingle behaves differently from a mixed remodel load.

What Makes Us Different in Alice
A distribution town runs on turnaround, and a hauler that gets a full container off a yard and an empty back in place quickly keeps that turnaround intact. Most service-yard and distribution work sits on private property, which is the simplest case for placement, so the job there is really about scheduling the swap so a working yard is never blocked by a full box.
Street placement is the case that needs a permit. A container on a public street or sidewalk in Alice requires a city right-of-way permit, and because SH-44 and US-281 run through town as state highways, a placement on those corridors involves TxDOT instead. The permit is the customer's to pull before delivery, and we will tell you what we have seen work here so it does not slow the job down.

Beyond Roll-Off Dumpsters in Alice
Roll-off containers anchor the work, but a service-yard and construction town needs the rest too. We supply portable toilets and handwashing stations for job sites and events across Jim Wells County, and we are licensed for special-waste handling when a project produces material a standard container is not built to take.
Licensed and Compliant Hauling
In an oil-services town, the material that comes off a yard is not always ordinary construction debris, and that is where a licensed hauler is worth the call. South Texas Dumpsters holds Railroad Commission of Texas registration RN109046839, EPA ID TXR000083663, and Industrial and Hazardous Waste transporter registration SWR 96263, together with a contaminated-soil hauling license under the Railroad Commission.
That combination lets us take on work a general roll-off company has to turn away. If a service-yard or site cleanup in Alice produces contaminated soil or sandblast media, we can arrange the TCLP testing through a partner, set up the waste profile once it comes back non-hazardous, and haul it to the correct facility under Railroad Commission rules. For material that tests above what we are permitted to move, we say so and point you to a hazardous hauler. Straight answers about what we will and will not take have kept crews calling since we opened in South Texas in 2013.
FAQs
Yes. We stage containers at service yards and industrial sites and can handle site cleanups, including material that needs testing and a waste profile before it moves. Tell us what is on the ground when you call so we bring the right container and paperwork.
On private property, including most yard and commercial sites, generally no. On a public street or sidewalk you will need a city right-of-way permit, and on the SH-44 and US-281 corridors through town that placement runs through TxDOT. The permit is the customer's responsibility, and we can walk you through it.
Keep tires, wet paint, batteries, and pressurized tanks out of a general load. If a job turns up soil or media you think might be contaminated, flag it before it goes in, because that is licensed work we handle on a separate track rather than mixed into regular debris.
Alice sits on our Coastal Bend routing, so turnaround here is often quick, and we schedule swaps so a working yard is not held up by a full box. Call 210-372-8666 and we will fit the pickup and replacement to your cycle.
