14 & 20-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster Rental in Clear Lake, TX In the Driveway,
Off the Street.
Clear Lake City is part of the City of Houston, and Houston wants a permit before a roll-off sits in a street or on a sidewalk. So we plan around your driveway. Both cans are 14 feet long and about 7 feet wide, and our Pearland yard is about 11 miles away. The 14-yard starts at $379.99. Roof coming off? The 20-yard starts at $499.99 on the same footprint.

We do not own a scale.
Most roll-off companies around Houston quote a low number that quietly carries a weight allowance, usually about 3 tons, then bill $75 to $95 for every ton you go over it. Our landfill charges us by the yard instead of by the ton, so we have nothing to pass along to you. Fill it to the rail and the price does not move. Dock boards, deck planks, and pulled fence panels come out wet and heavy around Clear Lake, and none of that changes what you pay.
We call it the No-Scale Rate. The roll-off companies that charge by weight do it because their landfill bills them by the ton. Ours bills us by the yard, so a full dumpster costs us the same whether it is couch cushions or roof shingles.

We have one other charge and we are not going to bury it: $50 if you cancel inside 24 hours of a confirmed drop-off. Need it longer than you booked? Call or text us before your pickup day to extend. Both are written out on our dumpster rental process page and in our rental terms.
Start With the Driveway
A roll-off asks three things of you: a flat paved spot, a clear run in from the street, and open air above the approach. If you can stand at the front door and point to that spot, the rest of the plan is easy.
Look up before you look down. A low limb or a service line across the drive is what slows a delivery, and a photo from the curb lets us say yes or no before anyone is in the truck. Text it to 832-425-7749. We lay boards under the can to protect the concrete, and you do not have to be home as long as we know where it goes.
No driveway, a shared drive, or a drive too short to hold a can? Say so when you call. The next section explains why the street is not the easy answer here.
Houston Wants a Permit for a Can in the Street
Clear Lake City was annexed into Houston in 1977, so Houston's street code covers its Houston streets. Chapter 40 of the Houston Code of Ordinances, Article XVII, lists a bulk waste container as an obstruction when it sits in a roadway or on a sidewalk, and says no one may place one, or allow one, without a permit. The roadway counts the lane where you park along the curb.
The code excuses the city's own carts and heavy trash set out for the city crew, then says plainly that the excuse does not reach dumpster or roll-off containers.
The permit comes from Houston Public Works, and the city's permit page describes a company-profile process: an account on the city's GeoLink HUB system and an insurance certificate naming the City of Houston, and the code asks you to apply at least ten business days ahead. The fee is charged by the week and, per the code, not prorated for a shorter stay.
Skip it and the city can remove the can and bill whoever put it there, and a violation is a criminal offense with a fine. The permit office line on that page is 832.395.3020.
So we plan on the driveway, and only talk about the street when there is no other spot. If the street is your only option, call or text before you book, and we will check what the city needs before we set a date. Not on a Houston street at all? See which city you are in below.
No Zoning, So the Deed Restrictions Decide
Houston has no zoning, as the city's legal department says on its deed restriction page. What a street tolerates in a driveway comes from restrictions recorded against each subdivision, enforced by an association, by neighbors, or in some cases with the city's help.
A big piece of Clear Lake City sits inside the Clear Lake City Community Association, which says its area runs between Highway 3 and Space Center Boulevard and between Pineloch and NASA Parkway. Its deed restrictions page calls the place an aging community, and its pages name sections like Camino South, Meadowgreen, and Oakbrook West.
Two lines from its materials matter to a cleanout. Exterior changes need an architectural review request approved first, and there should be no storage of clutter or debris in public view. Whether a rental can counts is a question for the association, not for us.
We found no rule about rental dumpsters in what the association posts publicly, which is not the same as permission. Call it at 281-488-0360, or ask the Harris County Clerk for your section's recorded restrictions (713.755.6405, per the city page).
Tight window? A one-day 14-yard is $379.99, and the weekend special is $399.99. If a can is a no-go on your street, our crew handles it in a single visit with Clear Lake junk removal.
Original Kitchens, Tired Roofs, and Fence Lines
Humble Oil's Friendswood Development planned Clear Lake City, and Governor Connally opened it on September 15, 1963. The city counts 3,785 residents in 1968 and 16,000 by 1974, and one Bay Knoll area profile gives 1990 as its build-out year. Roofs, fences, and bathrooms have had a long time to wear out.
Roof tear-offs. The city crew will not take shingles, so a can is the way out. Shingles are heavy, so give us the roof size and the number of layers when you call.
Original kitchens and baths, plus floors. Original cabinets, tile, tubs, drywall, and carpet. One bath fits a 14-yard, and a gutted kitchen with the room beside it may need the 20.
Fences, decks, and sheds. Wet, splintered, and awkward, they eat volume faster than weight.
Water damage. Clear Lake City knows flood risk. The Clear Lake City Water Authority bought the closed golf course in 2011 and dug the detention ponds of Exploration Green, and the Texas Tribune reported that one pond, about 80 percent dug when Harvey hit, held roughly 100 million gallons. When water gets into a house, the pile is drywall, flooring, and cabinets. Check the restricted list before you load.
The City Truck Takes the Couch, Not the Roof
Houston picks up bulky trash for eligible homes, and it is worth using when your pile fits. Per the city's heavy trash page, collection comes every other month, up to six times a year, on a day assigned to your address. Set the pile just behind the curb between 6 p.m. the Friday before and 7 a.m. on your day, never in the street or on the sidewalk. Furniture, carpet, mattresses, and stoves or washers go.
The not-accepted list is where remodels land: roofing and shingles, construction or demolition debris, dirt, electronics, paint, and chemicals. The city says contractor debris is not collected at all, and a mixed pile may be refused whole. The cap is 8 cubic yards per set-out, and a homeowner's own building material counts up to 4 of those, never shingles, brick, plaster, or concrete.
Set that beside a 14-yard can, sized at 14 cubic yards. One remodel or one roof is more than the city allowance by itself, and parking a torn-out kitchen in the garage until the next pickup month is not a plan. Use the city route for the old sofa and the can for the work. Find your day on the city's lookup tool or the HTX Collects app.
Pick the Days First, Then the Size
How long a can can sit out usually decides the job. Here is how the 14-yard terms line up with the work:
- $379.99, one day. A garage, a shed, or a demo morning with everything already piled.
- $399.99, the weekend. Saturday morning drop, Sunday night pickup. The 14-yard only.
- $419.99, three days. One bath or one room of flooring.
- $549.99, seven days. A roof, or a kitchen where the demo drags.
The 20-yard runs $499.99, $549.99, and $649.99 for one, three, and seven days. Delivery and haul-off sit inside every price, and nothing is weighed. An extra day is $50 if the can is not already booked, so call or text before pickup day, or book the longer term up front. Here is how the rental works.
Fourteen Yards or Twenty for a Clear Lake House?
Either can takes up an identical spot of concrete: 14 feet long and about 7 feet wide. The 20-yard's walls rise to roughly 6 feet, and that is the only difference. Every price, and what each size holds, is in our 14-yard vs 20-yard guide.
14-Yard Roll-Off
$379.99 one day · $399.99 weekend (call or text to book) · $419.99 three days · $549.99 the full week.
Right for a kitchen, a bath, a garage, or one clean-out. Only size with the flat $399.99 weekend.
20-Yard Roll-Off
$499.99 one day · $549.99 three days · $649.99 the full week.
Right when the pile is bulky. Same spot on the drive, more room above the frame.
Pick by what is coming out of the house, since the driveway fits either one. A bath, a garage, one room of flooring, or a fence run belongs in the 14. Choose the 20 for a full roof, a gutted kitchen along with the neighboring room's cabinets, or flooring from every room. Roofing, brick, dirt, rock, and concrete get too heavy to tow well before the can looks full. Ask us before you load any of those, and we will mark where to stop. That is a safety limit, not a fee.

Can or Crew in Clear Lake?
A can suits you if you have the time and the muscle. You load when it suits you, in bursts, and nobody is billing by the hour.
A crew suits you when labor is the problem or the clock is short: a parent's house before a listing, an attic, a storage room full of boxes. Our Clear Lake junk removal crew carries everything out and hauls it away in the same visit, and the same goes for garage cleanouts and estate cleanouts.
Undecided? Describe the job over the phone and we will tell you which route costs you less, even if that is not the one we earn more on. Our guide to junk removal versus dumpster rental lays out the trade.
A Houston Address Is Not Always Houston
Clear Lake City is a patchwork. It spreads across Houston, Webster, and Seabrook, and the wider Clear Lake area adds Nassau Bay, El Lago, and Taylor Lake Village, each with its own city hall. The ZIP codes 77058, 77059, and 77062 are used all over the area, so a ZIP does not tell you whose rules apply.
That matters because the street rule above is Houston's. If your address is in Webster or Seabrook, their codes govern instead, and we have written both up: Webster dumpster rental and Seabrook dumpster rental. Not sure which you are in? Text us the address.
From our Pearland yard to Clear Lake City is about 11 miles in a straight line, on the Bay Area side of the city and inside our 20-mile circle. We do not work inner Houston, and Clear Lake is not inner Houston.

Clear Lake Dumpster Questions
Can I put a dumpster in the street in Clear Lake?
Not without a city permit. Clear Lake City is part of Houston, and Chapter 40 of the Houston code counts a bulk waste container as an obstruction in a roadway or on a sidewalk, with no exception for roll-offs. The permit takes an insurance certificate naming the city, and the code asks you to apply at least ten business days ahead. The driveway skips all of that. If yours will not work, call or text 832-425-7749 before you book.
Will Houston pick up my old shingles and remodel debris at the curb?
No. The city heavy trash page lists roofing and shingles, construction or demolition debris, and dirt as not accepted, and says contractor debris is not collected. Pickup is every other month, capped at 8 cubic yards, and a mixed pile can be refused whole. Those are the loads a roll-off is for.
Do Clear Lake City deed restrictions allow a dumpster in the driveway?
That depends on the recorded restrictions for your section. We found no published rule about rental dumpsters on the Clear Lake City Community Association pages, and we will not guess. Houston has no zoning, so these restrictions do the work. Call the association at 281-488-0360 or ask the Harris County Clerk for your section's restrictions. For a tight window, book the one-day $379.99 or the $399.99 weekend.
How do I know if my Clear Lake address is in Houston?
A ZIP code will not settle it. Clear Lake City spreads across Houston, Webster, and Seabrook, and Nassau Bay, El Lago, and Taylor Lake Village are separate cities with their own codes. Text the address to 832-425-7749 and we will say what we know, including whose street rules to check.
Is a 14-yard big enough for a Clear Lake roof tear-off or kitchen remodel?
A kitchen or bath remodel fits the 14-yard. The 20-yard's taller sides pay off on a full roof or on flooring pulled from every room, and it sits in the same driveway spot. Roofing is heavy, so ask before you load it and we will mark the stopping point.
How much does a Clear Lake dumpster cost and how long can I keep it?
For the 14-yard, $379.99 buys a day, $399.99 buys the weekend special (Saturday morning drop, Sunday night pickup), $419.99 buys three days, and $549.99 buys a week. The 20-yard is $499.99, $549.99, or $649.99 for one, three, or seven days, and it has no weekend rate. Delivery and haul-off are included, nothing is weighed, and we are fully insured. Need an extra day? It is $50 if the can is free.
