Why Peninsula prices are higher: San Mateo County landfill tipping fees and tighter Peninsula permit zones run higher than the East Bay — but our Burlingame yard is the closest to San Mateo of any operator, so the short haul keeps your price competitive.

Why San Mateo Chooses Zebra Dumpsters
We're a Peninsula operator with a yard in Burlingame — the closest yard to San Mateo of any provider, less than 10 minutes up 101. That means shorter hauls, faster drops, and a team that knows your streets from Hillsdale to the Coyote Point bayfront.
Closest Peninsula Yard
Our yard at 1350 Old Bayshore Hwy in Burlingame is just minutes north of San Mateo — the nearest yard to the city of any operator. The short haul means faster swaps, reliable same-day availability, and no long-route premium baked into your price.
We Know Your Streets
Our drivers run Highway 101, El Camino Real, and the 92 every day. We know Hillsdale and Bay Meadows access, the narrow streets in Baywood and San Mateo Park, the downtown B Street permit blocks, and the bayfront approaches near Coyote Point.
Local Recycling Chain
Material goes to Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos (operated by Recology San Mateo County) — a short haul that keeps disposal costs honest. Certified scale weighing and a recycling receipt with every job.

Local San Mateo Advantage
Our Peninsula yard at 1350 Old Bayshore Hwy in Burlingame is the closest yard to San Mateo of any operator — not a dispatch number in another county. We know which Downtown B Street blocks need a parking permit, the tight lots in Baywood and San Mateo Park, the staging around the Bay Meadows and Hillsdale developments, and the bayfront approaches near Coyote Point and the Foster City border. That local knowledge means faster drops, fewer surprises, and a job done right the first time.

San Mateo Projects We Handle Every Week
From the Bay Meadows and Hillsdale redevelopment corridor to the older inland remodels and the Coyote Point bayfront, here's what our San Mateo team is dropping containers for in a typical week.
Bay Meadows & Hillsdale Redevelopment
The Bay Meadows transit-oriented development and the Hillsdale Shopping Center / Caltrain station area keep contractors busy with mixed-use, tenant-improvement, and station-area debris. We run swap-out schedules and 30- and 40-yard volumes for these jobs. Contractor-volume pricing available — call (650) 292-3003.
Mid-Century Remodels in Baywood & San Mateo Park
Kitchen and bath remodels on the older tree-lined streets of Baywood, Aragon, and San Mateo Park. A 20-yard handles most full-kitchen jobs; we'll size you up if the scope grows to a whole-home renovation.
Downtown B Street & El Camino Commercial
Storefront and office tenant-improvement turnover Downtown along B Street and the El Camino Real corridor. We know the permit-zoned blocks and can place a container to keep your build moving without blocking the sidewalk.
Bayfront ADUs & Shoreview Cleanouts
Backyard ADU builds and garage cleanouts across Shoreview, North Shoreview, and the Foster City border near Coyote Point. Inert dumpsters handle the foundation excavation; general-debris containers take the demo and cleanout.
Where the debris goes: Most San Mateo loads go to Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos (operated by Recology San Mateo County) — a short haul from our Burlingame yard. You get a recycling receipt with the certified scale weight on every job.
What Materials Our General Debris Dumpster Accept?
We accept a wide variety of materials in our general debris dumpsters, with some limitations. Here's what you can and cannot dispose of in our roll-off containers.
What we are: A construction, remodel, and bulky-debris dumpster service.
What we're not: A weekly trash service or a food-waste hauler. Keep kitchen garbage, diapers, and pet waste out of our bins.

Golden Rule for Inert Materials
Use a separate dumpster for concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt. Mixing inert materials with regular debris can make the dumpster unsafe and even break road rules. Plus, you'll save money, our inert-material dumpsters have no weight limits, but mixing will cause extra charges. Have questions? Just give us a call, we're happy to help.
