Roll-off containers across San Marcos and Hays County, from a fully licensed South Texas hauler.
What we haul in San Marcos
South Texas Dumpsters drops roll-off containers across San Marcos and Hays County for contractors, property managers, and crews working one of the fastest-growing stretches of the I-35 corridor. We are a fully licensed South Texas hauler, so a permitted build or a student-housing turnover gets the documentation the city expects.
San Marcos generates a particular kind of waste that most towns its size do not. Texas State University enrollment passed 44,000 students in fall 2025, which keeps a steady pipeline of student-housing construction, unit turns, and end-of-lease cleanouts running through the year.
Layer on the warehouse and distribution build-out along I-35, where Amazon runs multiple facilities as the region's largest employer, and you have a market that runs on new construction, tenant finish-outs, and heavy cleanout work.
We drop 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off containers for general contractors, roofers, property managers turning apartment units, and crews clearing sites near campus. When a full-complex turnover or a demolition has more debris than one container holds, we swap them out on site so the crew keeps moving.
Container sizes for San Marcos jobs
We carry three roll-off sizes. The 20-yard suits a single unit turn or a roofing tear-off where weight climbs fast. The 30-yard is the common pick for a whole-building 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
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. Your location in the San Marcos area and the length of the rental round it out. Call 210-372-8666 and we will give you a current quote for your specific job.
What makes us different in San Marcos
San Marcos does not let just anyone haul commercial waste inside the city. The city requires a Commercial Solid Waste Hauler Permit through its Resource Recovery Division, and any commercial job, construction and demolition included, is supposed to use a permitted hauler.
That matters near campus and in the older neighborhoods south of Texas State, where a demolition can also trigger a historic review before the first wall comes down. We run the kind of licensed, on-the-record service the city's rules are written around, so your project stays clean on the compliance side while the debris leaves on schedule.

- Special waste (non-hazardous only)
- Construction and demolition debris

Licenses and credentials for San Marcos
We have run roll-off and sanitation service across South and Central Texas for over a decade, and San Marcos, with its constant student-housing turnover and its warehouse construction along the interstate, is exactly the kind of high-volume market we are built for.
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 city that requires permitted haulers, that stack is what keeps your job on record and out of trouble at inspection.
Beyond roll-off containers, we supply portable toilets, ADA-compliant units, and handwashing stations for San Marcos job sites and events. A commercial site under OSHA sanitation rules and a riverfront or park 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.
Your Questions Answered
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 San Marcos requires a right-of-way permit through its Permit Center, and street placements are usually held to a short window.
Note too that San Marcos requires commercial waste to move through a permitted hauler, so the hauler side of the paperwork matters as much as the placement side. Tell us your placement plan when you book and we will walk through what the site needs before delivery day.

Yes, and it is some of the work we do most around San Marcos. End-of-lease turns at apartment complexes near campus pile up fast, so we can stage a 30 or 40 yard container for a full-complex clear-out and swap it as it fills rather than making you wait on a single haul.
Give us the unit count and your turnover window when you call and we will size the containers to keep the crews moving.

Possibly. San Marcos reviews demolition of older and historic-survey structures, and much of the area south of the Texas State campus falls inside that survey, so a demolition permit there can carry a preservation review before work starts.
That review is on the property owner or contractor, not the hauler, but it affects your timeline. Once you have your dates, call and we will schedule the container to land when you are cleared to start.

Yes. We supply portable toilets, ADA units, and handwashing stations for festivals, outdoor events, and gatherings around San Marcos, and we service units through a multi-day event so they do not overflow.
Events on city property or in the parks carry their own San Marcos special-event permitting, which the organizer files, and the city can require restrooms and containers based on the crowd size. 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 San Marcos, 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.
