Horse manure does not stop piling up. If you own horses, run a boarding facility, or manage a small ranch in the Tucson area, you may need manure removed throughout the year.
Renting a dumpster works well for a one-time cleanup. But if you need manure hauled away often, buying your own dumpster may be a more cost-effective long-term option.
With this service, you own the dumpster and keep it on your property. When it is full, Tucson Dumpsters picks it up, hauls the manure away, empties the container, and returns the dumpster to your property.
You fill it. We empty it. Then we bring it back.
How a Customer-Owned Dumpster Pickup Works
The process is simple:
- Purchase an approved 10-yard roll-off dumpster. Contact Tucson Dumpsters before buying the container so we can confirm it will work with our hooklift truck.
- Keep the dumpster on your property. Place it in an approved area that our truck can reach safely.
- Fill it with horse manure. Load the manure evenly and keep everything below the top rail.
- Call when it is full. Tucson Dumpsters will schedule the pickup.
- We empty and return it. We haul the manure away for disposal and bring your dumpster back to the property.
You do not have to follow a regular pickup schedule. Call us when the dumpster is ready to be emptied.
Why We Recommend a 10-Yard Dumpster
For this service, Tucson Dumpsters recommends purchasing a 10-yard roll-off dumpster.
A 10-yard container gives most horse owners useful storage space without allowing the load to become as heavy as it could in a larger dumpster. This matters because manure can become very heavy, especially when it is wet.
The 10-yard size is also easier to place on many horse properties, small ranches, and boarding facilities. It provides a practical balance between capacity, weight, and ease of pickup.
Before purchasing any container, call Tucson Dumpsters. Roll-off dumpsters can have different rail, hook, roller, and door specifications. We must confirm that the dumpster is compatible with our equipment before we can agree to service it.
Could Owning a Dumpster Save You Money?
Owning a dumpster requires an upfront purchase, but it may save money if you need manure removal on a regular basis.
Because the dumpster belongs to you, there is no ongoing daily rental charge while it sits on your property. You can fill it at your own pace and call for service only when it is full.
This option may be a good fit if you:
- Own several horses
- Produce manure throughout the year
- Operate a stable or boarding facility
- Have room for a permanent dumpster
- Need pickup service several times per year
- Want to avoid making trips to the landfill yourself
If you only need to remove one old manure pile, a regular horse manure dumpster rental may be the better choice.
How Pricing Works
Tucson Dumpsters charges a flat service rate to:
- Pick up your dumpster
- Haul it to the disposal facility
- Empty the container
- Return the dumpster to your property
The property owner also pays the landfill disposal fee. Disposal charges depend on the weight of the manure in the dumpster.
Your flat service rate may depend on your property’s location and travel distance. Call us for a quote based on your address.
Renting vs. Owning a Manure Dumpster
| Regular dumpster rental | Customer-owned dumpster |
|---|---|
| Good for a one-time manure cleanup | Good for ongoing manure removal |
| Tucson Dumpsters owns the container | The horse owner owns the container |
| Rental time is included in the order | Keep the dumpster on-site between pickups |
| Call or book when a cleanup is needed | Call when the dumpster is full |
| No container purchase required | Requires up front container purchase |
The best choice depends on how often you need service. Tucson Dumpsters can help you compare the two options before you purchase a dumpster.
Tips for Using a Manure Dumpster
Horse manure can become difficult to haul when it gets too wet or too heavy. These steps can help:
- Spread the manure evenly inside the dumpster.
- Keep all material below the top rail.
- Do not overload the container.
- Cover the dumpster before rain when possible.
- Keep rocks, dirt, chemicals, household trash, and other materials out of the load.
- Maintain a clear path so our truck can reach the dumpster safely.
- Call before the container becomes too heavy to haul.
Please tell us about any bedding or other material mixed with the manure when scheduling service.

Service availability and travel charges depend on the property’s location and whether our truck can safely access the dumpster.
