How do I rent a roll off container?
Whether you’re planning a small bathroom remodel or a larger construction project, the City of Fort Stockton Solid Waste Services has a roll-off container that will fit your needs. Service includes the rental of a 20 or 30 yard, open-top roll-off container.
A roll-off is a temporary container and is referred to as “roll-off” because the container itself is typically configured with small wheels, and the vehicle used to deliver and pick up the container uses a hoist and a tipping bed to roll the container on and off at each site.
Solid Waste Services will provide roll-off container service to a residential customer, with proof of a current City of Fort Stockton water account or to a commercial customer, business, church, governmental agency, or other entity, with proof of business status and location within the City of Fort Stockton.
Call 432-336-8525 to inquire about your Roll-off Container service or print this form and return to City Hall at 121 W. 2nd Street.
What form do I need to start a commercial landfill account?
