Roll-off containers across Austin and Travis County, from a fully licensed South Texas hauler.
What we haul in Austin
South Texas Dumpsters delivers roll-off containers across Austin and Travis County for contractors, remodelers, and event crews working the I-35 corridor. We are a fully licensed South Texas hauler, so the paperwork a downtown build or a permitted demolition depends on is handled the right way. Call 210-372-8666 for a quote on your job.
Austin runs on commercial build-outs, tenant finish-outs, and teardown-and-rebuild projects, and the debris from that work is what we stage containers for. We drop 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off containers for general contractors on new construction and remodels, roofing crews on tear-offs, and event organizers working festivals and outdoor venues around the city.
If your project touches a public street or sidewalk, we work with you on placement so the container sits where the city allows it. On larger sites we run more than one container at a time and swap them as they fill, so a tear-off or demolition never stops to wait on us.
What We Offer
We carry three roll-off sizes. The 20-yard suits a single-room remodel or a roofing tear-off where weight adds up fast. The 30-yard is the common pick for a whole-floor renovation or a mid-size commercial job. The 40-yard handles new construction and large demolition. All three cap at the 10-ton DOT legal weight limit. Full dimensions live on the size pages, and we will help you match the size to the job when you call.

What affects your quote
Austin has a real compliance layer that a lot of jobs run into. Building permits for more than 5,000 square feet of new, added, or remodeled floor area fall under the city's Construction and Demolition Recycling Ordinance, and so does any commercial or multifamily demolition.
On those projects the general contractor has to divert at least half of the construction debris from the landfill, or keep landfilled material under 2.5 pounds per square foot, and file a recycling report at final inspection. That reporting leans on tonnage records from a licensed hauler. We are that hauler, and we track what leaves your site so your recycling report is not a scramble at closeout.

Licenses and credentials for Austin
We have run roll-off and sanitation service across South and Central Texas for over a decade, and Austin's mix of commercial construction, fast roofing turnarounds, and heavy event calendar is work we know. Behind the containers is a full compliance stack: EPA ID TXR000083663, Railroad Commission of Texas registration RN109046839, an Industrial and Hazardous Waste transporter registration (SWR 96263), and a contaminated-soil hauling license, plus compliance with Texas solid waste transport requirements. In a metro full of under-permitted haulers, that stack is the difference when your project has to document where its waste went.
Beyond roll-off containers, we supply portable toilets, ADA-compliant units, and handwashing stations for Austin job sites and events. A commercial site under OSHA sanitation rules and an outdoor event with a crowd to serve both need units on the ground and serviced on schedule. Call 210-372-8666 to line up your containers.
Dumpster rental questions in Austin
Our team addresses the most common questions about dumpster rental in Austin.
If the container sits on private property, a driveway, a parking lot, or a private job site, you generally do not need a permit. If it has to sit on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City of Austin requires a right-of-way permit through Austin Transportation and Public Works, and the city ties those permits to a licensed hauler and contractor. This comes up most in central Austin neighborhoods where driveways are short and street placement is the only option. Tell us your placement plan when you book and we will walk through what the site needs before delivery day.
If you pulled a building permit for more than 5,000 square feet of new, added, or remodeled floor area, or you are doing a commercial or multifamily demolition, then yes. You will need to divert at least 50 percent of the construction debris from the landfill and file a recycling report at final inspection. We track the tonnage leaving your site so you have the records that report needs. Call 210-372-8666 and we will set your containers up with that in mind.
Yes. Our trucks need clear straight-line room and vertical clearance to set a container safely, which is worth confirming on a downtown or infill lot before delivery. Tell us the site when you call and we will check access and schedule a delivery window that works.
Yes. We supply portable toilets, ADA units, and handwashing stations for festivals, outdoor weddings, and corporate events around Austin, and we service units through a multi-day event so they do not overflow. Larger events, and any event using public property, carry their own City of Austin permitting through the city's event and right-of-way process, which the event organizer files. Call and give us the guest count and run of the event and we will scope the units.
Same-day and next-day delivery is available in our core service areas around Austin, and we recommend giving us about five days when you can so we can hold the window you want. Shorter timelines are often workable. Call 210-372-8666 to confirm.
