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
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.
We're family-run out of Honey Grove and deliver 16-yard roll-offs across Lamar County — usually same or next day. Flat $375 for 3 days, delivery, pickup and 2 tons of disposal included. The bin is low-walled and driveway-sized, so you walk debris in instead of lifting it over your tailgate.
For City of Paris residents, the first 4 cubic yards are free with a current city water bill and photo ID. After that it's $6.30 per cubic yard. Non-residents pay $13.50 per cubic yard, and shingles are $16 per cubic yard for everyone.
Can I take a roof tear-off to the Paris dump station?
Yes, but shingles are billed at $16 per cubic yard. An 8-12 cubic yard tear-off runs $128-$192 in gate fees alone, spread over four to six trips, and shingles overload a half-ton truck fast. A flat $375 16-yard rental with 2 tons included usually costs less once fuel and time are counted.
How many pickup loads fit in a 16-yard dumpster in Paris?
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.
