We’re Cornerstone Junk Removal & Trash Hauling, a locally owned and operated dumpster rental company serving all of Santa Barbara County. Since 2011, we’ve built our reputation on three things: transparent pricing with no hidden fees, fast and reliable service, and clean, well-maintained equipment.

Ready to book your roll-off now? Give us a call, and let’s get your project moving.
We started Cornerstone Junk Removal & Trash Hauling back in 2011 with a single truck, a handful of dumpsters, and a simple goal: to make waste removal easier for people in Santa Maria. Our founder grew up here, worked construction and property management throughout Santa Barbara County, and saw firsthand how frustrating it was to deal with overpriced, unreliable dumpster companies. So we set out to do it better; locally owned, customer-focused, and built on honesty.
Today, we’re proud to be one of the most trusted names in roll-off dumpster rental across Santa Barbara County. We serve homeowners tackling weekend projects, contractors running multi-phase builds, property managers coordinating cleanouts, and businesses managing ongoing waste needs. What sets us apart from the big national chains? It’s simple: we know Santa Maria. We know the neighborhoods, the local regulations, the permit requirements, and the unique challenges of residential and commercial projects in this area. When you call us, you’re talking to a real person who lives and works right here; not a call center hundreds of miles away.
Our commitment to the community goes beyond just hauling debris. We partner with local recycling facilities, support eco-friendly waste management practices, and work hard to divert as much material as possible from landfills. Whether you need a quick dumpster rental for a garage cleanout or a long-term solution for a construction site, we’re here to deliver personalized service, competitive pricing, and the fastest response times in Santa Barbara County.
No two projects are the same, and that’s why we offer a full range of dumpster rental services designed to meet the needs of every customer; from DIY homeowners to experienced contractors and commercial clients.

Our smallest dumpsters are ideal for residential projects with limited space and moderate debris:
We also offer a 10-yard lowboy dumpster with lower sides, making it easier to load heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles without lifting debris over tall walls.
These are our most popular sizes for homeowners and small contractors:
If you’re unsure whether to go with a 15 or 20-yard dumpster, we usually recommend going one size up; it’s better to have a little extra space than to run out of room halfway through your project.

| How do I choose the right dumpster size? | Consider your project scope: small cleanouts need 10-12 yards, home renovations typically use 15-20 yards, and construction/demolition requires 30-40 yards. Not sure? Call us for a free consultation. We'll ask about your project and recommend the perfect size. It's better to go slightly larger than risk needing a second dumpster. |
| What happens if I overfill the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a clearly marked fill line; debris should never go above this line. Overfilled dumpsters are unsafe to transport and may result in additional fees or require a second trip. We include generous tonnage limits with each rental, and you'll only pay extra if you exceed the weight limit. Pro tip: Break down large items and distribute weight evenly. |
| What items are prohibited in dumpsters? | We cannot accept: Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, pesticides, oil), asbestos, tires, batteries, propane tanks, certain electronics, medical waste, or fluorescent bulbs. We accept: Construction debris, household junk, furniture, appliances (without Freon), wood, metal, yard waste, concrete, and most recyclables. Our eco-friendly disposal practices ensure materials are recycled whenever possible. If you're unsure, just ask! |
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster? |
On private property (driveway, yard): Usually no permit needed in Santa Maria. On the street or public property: Yes, you'll need a permit from the City of Santa Maria. We can help guide you through the permit application process and recommend the best placement to avoid issues. Permits typically take 1-3 business days to process. |
| Where should I place the dumpster on my property? | Choose a flat, stable surface like a driveway, parking lot, or cleared area. Ensure there's clearance for our delivery truck (60 feet of straight-line access, 14 feet of vertical clearance for power lines). Avoid soft ground, grass (unless protected), and areas near septic systems. We provide protective boards on request to prevent driveway damage. Our experienced drivers will work with you to find the best spot during delivery. |
| What are your rental terms and how long can I keep it? | Our standard rental includes 7-10 days, perfect for most projects. Need it longer? We offer flexible scheduling with weekly or monthly extensions at affordable daily rates. Done early? Call us and we'll pick it up sooner; no penalties. Transparent pricing means you'll know all costs upfront: delivery, rental period, tonnage, and pickup are included in your quote. No surprise fees. |
| How quickly can you deliver a dumpster? | We offer same-day delivery in Santa Maria and throughout Santa Barbara County when you call before our daily cutoff (usually noon). Next-day delivery is available for most orders. Our fast and reliable delivery ensures your project stays on schedule. We'll confirm your delivery window and arrive as promised; because your time matters. |
| How do I schedule pickup when I'm done? | Simply call us or use our online portal when you're ready. We typically pick up within 24-48 hours of your request, often sooner. Make sure the dumpster is accessible (not blocked by vehicles) and filled within the marked line. Flexible scheduling means we work around your timeline, not the other way around. |
| Will the dumpster damage my driveway or property? | Our roll-off dumpsters are designed to minimize surface contact, and we use protective plywood boards when requested. Asphalt driveways during hot weather may show slight impressions; this is normal and usually fades. Avoid placing dumpsters on fresh asphalt (less than 6 months old), unsealed surfaces, or soft ground. Our drivers are trained professionals who treat your property with care. We're fully insured for your peace of mind. |
