Do You Need A Debris/Roll-Off Box?
Please see below to determine what size you need, read the debris/roll-off box guidelines, and learn more about debris/roll-off billing.
First, determine the materials you are trying to dispose of:
| Items: | Description: |
|---|---|
 | GARBAGE - Trash, refuse, waste. The material that goes in the gray cart or bin. |
 | WOOD – Clean lumber. Painted and stained OK. PLEASE NOTE: pressure-treated lumber and other treated wood waste (ex., from fencing or decking) is NOT ACCEPTED. These materials have been considered hazardous waste in California since 2021. |
 | YARD WASTE/COMPOSTABLE MATERIAL – Things that were once alive, such as yard trimmings, grass clippings, leaves, and branches. |
 | DIRT/SOD - Available size: 7-yard debris/roll-off box only (PLEASE NOTE: dirt, rock, brick, sod, and cement cannot be combined with other construction and demolition materials and must be collected separately.) |
 | ROCK, BRICK, AND CEMENT/CONCRETE (NO REBAR) - Available size: 7-yard debris/roll-off box only (PLEASE NOTE: dirt, rock, brick, sod, and cement cannot be combined with other construction and demolition materials and must be collected separately.) |

 | PLEASE REMEMBER: NO HAZARDOUS WASTE IN CONTAINER. The waste generator (Customer) is responsible for determining liability for the improper disposal of potentially hazardous waste. WE DO NOT MANAGE WASTE THAT IS HAZARDOUS. PUT HAZARDOUS WASTE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. Alameda County Industries does not accepted hazardous waste in any collection carts or bins.

Next, determine what size debris/roll-off you will need:
Size Matters! Choosing the right size debris box is important. Opting for a debris/roll-off box that is too small for the job will require extra services and costs. Materials cannot be higher than the container’s edge. DO NOT OVERFILL THE CONTAINER.

Here are the debris/roll-off box billing rules and guidelines:
BILLING INCLUDES: A Placement Fee for each debris box. If a box is placed in the street, there is also a flasher fee per pull. There is a Per Pull Charge for each pickup. A trip fee will be charged if the driver is unable to service the container (such as overloading, cannot access, etc.). An Overweight Charge per ton will apply if excess tonnage above the amount allowed per pull is hauled. If the debris box is not serviced within seven days, we will apply a demurrage charge each day until service is scheduled. (Fees are outlined in the rate for service section). The pickup and tonnage fees are deducted from the pre-payment. If a balance is owed, ACI of San Ramon will invoice you at the end of the billing cycle. If a refund is due, a check will be sent within 30 days of the last day of the billing cycle.
All debris box customers will be required to pay a prepayment per box per pull.
- Boxes up to 20 cubic yards will require a $500.00 deposit.
- Boxes over 20 cubic yards will require a $1000.00 deposit.
PAYMENT: You may pay by company check, personal check, money order, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, & Discover), or cash (no third- party checks). This is required for each box depending upon the amount of service.
