Bases differ sharply: Prime Dumpster quotes 5-day rentals (its $399 10-yard is the cheapest headline in the city — for 5 days), ZTERS 10-day, Tiger Sanitation weekly. San Antonio sources do not publish included tonnage per size — allowances are confirmed at booking, and this page says so rather than guessing. No published 15-yard price was found. 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: no permit. On a street, sidewalk or alley you need a Right-of-Way permit from San Antonio Public Works' ROW Management division (apply at rowpermits.sanantonio.gov). Fees are calculated by placement type, duration and footprint — the city publishes a fee estimator — and a site sketch is required; lane closures need a traffic control plan and longer review. Most permits clear within a few business days and haulers typically file for you.
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.
