Ultimate Dumpsters publishes flat 7-day prices for Fort Worth ($580–$925 by size, tonnage included); ZTERS quotes a 10-day basis, and DFW local haulers (U Dump It, Trinity) serve Fort Worth at the same lower point prices as Dallas. Compare rental windows — 7-day flat vs 10-day estimates — before comparing totals. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
Driveway or private property: no permit. On a street, curb, sidewalk, parkway or alley you need a Street Use Permit from Fort Worth Transportation & Public Works — typically 3–5 business days to clear; the hauler usually files, or you can apply through the city's online permit portal. Suburbs and unincorporated Tarrant County follow their own rules.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
