Roll-off containers are available for the collection, transportation, and disposal of waste generated on construction, remodeling, clean-up, or landscaping projects. To get a roll-off container for a project, there are a few things to remember:

  • The City is the sole roll-off provider unless another company is registered with the city to provide roll-offs.
  • A permit from the City of Caldwell Utility Department is required before putting it on the property.
    • Residents must sign an agreement with the Customer Service Department at City Hall and pay the fees associated, charges for hauls will be charged to the utility account and paid through the utility bill if they are customers.
  • Only authorized users (owners, permittees, or contracted persons) are permitted to dispose of any refuse, brush, waste, or discarded items in a container.
  • The container must be removed from the property within 30 days of project completion
