Paris, TX dump station fees, access rules and shingle rates

Paris has the friendliest self-haul deal in our whole service area: city residents get their first 4 cubic yards free at the Sanitation Solutions Dump Station on South Church Street. That's why the honest answer here is sometimes "don't rent a dumpster." But the allowance is small, shingles are priced separately, and non-residents pay more than double — so here's exactly where the line sits.

The short answer

  • City residents: first 4 cu yd free with a current water bill and photo ID
  • After that: $6.30 per cubic yard for residents
  • Non-residents: $13.50 per cubic yard
  • Roofing shingles: $16 per cubic yard — this is where the math flips

Where Paris debris can go — fees, access and hours

Gate rates and hours change, so every entry links its source. Call the facility the day before you load a trailer.

Self-haul vs. a driveway bin in Paris

Job sizeDoing it yourself16-yard roll-off
2 pickup loads of household junk (resident)Free — inside the 4-yard allowanceDon't rent. Take the truck.
8 cu yd of remodel debris (resident)About $25 in fees + 4 trips$375 — self-haul still cheaper on paper
8-12 cu yd roof tear-off$128-$192 in shingle fees + 4-6 trips + overloaded truck risk$375 flat, 2 tons included
Non-resident, 16 cu ydAbout $216 in gate fees + 8 trips$375 flat, one delivery, one pickup

For a Paris resident with two truckloads of household junk, self-haul is genuinely cheaper and we'll say so. The flip happens on shingles: a single-layer tear-off on a small house is 8-12 cubic yards, which at $16 per yard is $128-$192 in gate fees before fuel, plus four to six round trips in a truck that shingles will overload long before the bed looks full.

About five to eight. A standard 6-foot pickup bed holds roughly 2 cubic yards heaped, and a 16-yard roll-off holds about 16 cubic yards. The walls are low enough to walk debris in without a ladder, and it fits in a normal Paris driveway.
