Every range below is what companies working in Wellington publish for that job, gathered from the numbered price pages under the table. It spans what several of them show, so the figures move with the specifics of the property and with who does the work. Nothing here is a quote, and no business has set a price on this page. A real number comes from whoever looks at the job.
| The job | Range seen | Billed as | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-yard roll-off for a garage, a single room or a small bathroom | $299–$4991234 | flat, per haul | Rental windows run three to seven days across these lists. Where a weight is stated, about one ton is included. |
| 14- to 15-yard roll-off for a bathroom gut, a small roof or a full garage | $425–$575234 | flat, per haul | The middle size suits heavy debris in modest amounts. Weight allowances are often unstated at this size, so ask before booking. |
| 20-yard roll-off for a kitchen remodel or a whole-house cleanout | $389–$7251345 | flat, per haul | The low end includes five days and one ton; the mid-range lists include two tons and a week. |
| 30-yard roll-off for a large cleanout, a barn teardown or storm debris | $549–$79914 | flat, per haul | The lowest published 30-yard price includes three tons and seven days. Dense debris belongs in a smaller container. |
| Each ton over the weight included in the rental | $90–$95156 | per ton | Published overage tracks the county's $95-a-ton construction debris rate, which is what most roll-off loads are charged at the scale. |
| Each extra day past the included rental period | $20–$2535 | per day | Remodels waiting on an inspection and cleanouts waiting on family are the jobs that run into extra days. |

A dumpster price in Wellington is built from five parts, and every one of them is something a renter can ask about before the container arrives. The container size. The rental period. The weight included. The rate per ton over that weight. And what is in the load, because Palm Beach County charges different disposal rates for different materials, and a roll-off company's price is built on top of those rates.
Every roll-off load in the county ends up on a Solid Waste Authority scale or at an SWA-permitted recycler. The authority's schedule effective October 1, 2026 charges $95 a ton for construction debris and large vegetation and says open-top roll-offs are generally billed at that rate. Household garbage and trash are $42 a ton, yard vegetation $35, and livestock waste $35 at Renewable Energy Facility No. 2 only. A mixed load is charged at the highest category in it. The published overage rates in the table sit right around that $95 figure, and that is no coincidence: the overage is mostly the dump fee passed through.
The ranges in the table run from ten-yard containers up to thirty-yard cans, and each published price carries a weight allowance, commonly one ton on a small container and two or three on the larger ones. A cleanout of furniture rarely reaches the allowance. A tile roof or a bathroom of tile and mortar blows straight through it. For heavy debris, the useful question is not how big the container is but how many tons are included and what each one costs after that.
Published prices assume a set rental period, anywhere from three days to a week depending on the company. Extra days run at a daily rate. Remodels that wait on an inspection, and estate cleanouts that wait on family, are the jobs that run long. Book the container for when the loading will actually happen, not for when the project starts.
The landfill complex on Jog Road is a long round trip from most of Wellington. Concrete, roofing, tile, construction lumber and fencing cannot be accepted at the transfer stations, including the closest one on Weisman Way in Royal Palm Beach, so heavy loads ride to the landfill or to a permitted recycler, which the authority says recycle roughly 35 to 40 percent of the county's construction and demolition debris. Gate check-ins, association timing and soft ground on farms add time to a delivery as well. None of that justifies a vague number, but it explains why the ranges below are what they are.
The village's curbside service has real limits. Construction and demolition debris at the curb is capped at 2 cubic yards a week, drywall and tile must be boxed in containers under 50 pounds, and concrete, rock, fencing and pallets are not collected. Bulk day takes up to 4 cubic yards of furniture and minor home-repair debris. Anything larger is meant to go in a roll-off from a hauler permitted to work in Wellington.
A barn cleanout can involve two price structures. Fencing, mats and shed debris go in a roll-off at the construction rate. Manure and bedding are livestock waste, regulated under Section 30-153 of the village's Land Development Code and charged at the county's livestock rate at one facility. Separating the two before anything is loaded is the single biggest thing a farm owner can do about the bill.
Container size, rental days, included tons and the per-ton rate over that, stated together, plus the charge for any extra day. That is the standard this site holds a hauler to, and the reason the table exists.
Get a roll-off sized to what is actually going in it, a rental period and weight allowance stated before delivery, and a container placed where the village and your association allow. If the debris is from a storm, separate vegetation from construction debris now and keep both piles off the road.
