3. You may request to have your bin steam cleaned twice per year. Any additional cleanings have a fee of $25.00.

Roll-Off Service
Roll-off service is provided to a temporarily placed trash dumpster (or roll-off bin). The bins are called "roll-off" because the bin itself is typically configured with small back wheels, and the truck uses a hoist and a tipping bed to roll the bin on and off the use site from/to the truck. Construction companies are well-recognized users of roll-off bins. The service provides the rental of the bin, the delivery of the bin to the site where it is needed, the pick-up service when the bin is full (or the service time is complete) and disposal of the collected waste at a sanitary landfill. Basically, roll-off service provides complete trash disposal services to temporary activities and projects.

For more information or costs for roll-off service, contact the Paso Robles Waste Disposal Office.
