Protect the surface. Plywood under the wheels and the rear roller spreads the load, which matters on the thinner driveway slabs common in parts of San Marcos. A loaded 30 yard container can run past 10 tons.
Soft ground is the quiet risk at San Marcos addresses with long unpaved drives. After heavy rain a loaded container can settle far enough that the truck cannot winch it back on.
Check whether your San Marcos neighbourhood has rules about street visibility or screening. Finding out after the container is on the drive is the expensive order to do it in.
Load heavy material first and spread it across the floor of the container. An unevenly loaded box is harder to winch onto the truck and occasionally cannot be collected at all.
A quote in San Marcos should be a single number covering delivery, the rental window, collection and disposal to a stated weight. Anything outside that is worth asking about before you book.

San Marcos dumpster rental questions
What if my address is outside the San Marcos limits?
Providers covering San Diego routinely run past the city line. Call with the address and we will confirm coverage and any mileage charge.
Can the container go on the street overnight in San Marcos?
Where a street permit has been issued, yes, though some cities require reflective markings or cones overnight as a condition of the permit.
Will the container damage my driveway?
It can if nothing is put underneath. Plywood under the wheels and the rear roller spreads the load and is the standard precaution on residential concrete and asphalt.
How full can I load the container?
Level with the top rail, no higher. Anything above the rail cannot be legally tarped for transport, and the driver will refuse the load or charge to level it.
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
You are billed for the extra tonnage at the local disposal rate, commonly $50 to $125 per ton. Ask for that rate when you get the quote.
