At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Akron, Ohio, and the rest of Summit County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old housing stock in Highland Square, Goodyear Heights, and the Merriman Valley keeps roofers, remodelers, and cleanout crews busy year round, and commercial construction along the Route 8 and Interstate 77 corridors adds steady demand for larger containers.
Four things drive what you pay: the container size, the weight and type of your debris, how long you keep it, and the charges at the facility that takes the load. Below you will find our price ranges, how Akron handles containers in the street, what cannot go in, and where your debris ends up.

Several Akron specifics move the number on your quote.
The container size sets the starting point. Going one size up costs less than paying for a second delivery when the first one fills early.
Debris weight does the rest. Old slate and asphalt roofing, plaster from a pre-war house, and broken concrete are all heavy, and disposal is billed by the ton. For those materials a smaller container is usually the better buy.
Placement matters here more than in a newer city. Many Akron streets are narrow, hilly, and lined with parked cars. If the only workable spot is the street, the City charges to occupy the right-of-way, currently $35 per 100 square feet taken up. Your account manager will walk through placement with you before anything is booked.
Timing plays in too. Winter weather can slow delivery and pickup, and a container left sitting through a freeze is harder to move.

Think about the volume first, then the weight. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a single bathroom, a small porch tear-off, or an attic cleanout. It is also the right pick for concrete, brick, and dirt, which reach the weight allowance long before the walls fill up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen remodel, a full basement cleanout, or flooring stripped from several rooms. It buys real space over the smallest size for a modest step in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Akron homeowners settle on. It takes a whole-house cleanout or a tear-off on a typical two-story roof without crowding.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits additions, gut remodels, and new builds. Crews reach for it when several trades are generating debris at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It suits commercial tear-outs, warehouse cleanouts, and the larger construction jobs around the city.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they will make the call with you.
A container sitting on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced work site, generally needs no City permit in Akron. Once any part of it occupies a street, tree lawn, or sidewalk, the City's right-of-way rules take over.
Akron does not publish a permit written just for containers. Instead the City issues right-of-way permits through its Plans and Permits Center, and the occupancy permit is the one that applies when something is parked in the public way. Applications go through the City's online plan review and permit portal.
Call the Plans and Permits Center at 330-375-2010 before you set a delivery date. The office is at 1030 E. Tallmadge Ave. in Akron. If you are not certain whether your spot counts as City right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact and time the paperwork around your delivery.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits come from Ohio rules and from the facility that receives your container.
Ohio keeps scrap tires out of ordinary landfills entirely. The state allows them only at specially licensed tire facilities, and hauling more than ten of them takes a state registration. Set tires aside and tell us about them when you book.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster as well. Summit County's ReWorks program collects oil-based paint, solvents, automotive fluids, batteries, and pool chemicals from county residents on collection days, but it turns away construction debris, electronics, appliances that hold Freon, and anything in a container larger than five gallons. Latex paint is different: once it is dried solid, it can go out with regular trash.
If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail. One wrong item can hold up a whole load at the scale.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Akron's curbside crews will not take construction material. The City's trash and recycling rules exclude roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall, and demolition debris, and residents get only three scheduled bulk pickups a year. For a remodel, a tear-off, or a full cleanout, a roll-off container is the practical answer.
Debris from Akron jobs is weighed at a licensed municipal solid waste transfer station on Fountain Street on the city's southeast side, then moved by semi-trailer to a regional landfill. Summit County Public Health inspects three active transfer facilities and three active construction and demolition debris landfills in the county, so the exact destination depends on what your container holds.
Because the receiving site and the charges shift with the material, your account manager will confirm where your load is going and what the disposal charges look like before your container is delivered.
Most Akron rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead leaves room to settle street placement and usually costs less than a rush order.
These five steps keep delivery day easy:
Winter is worth planning around. Snow, ice, and plowed curbs can narrow an Akron street to the point where a truck cannot set a container safely, so build in a little slack between December and March.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
An Akron rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the disposal charges on your load also move the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Hauling it yourself means renting a truck or borrowing one, loading twice, and paying by weight at the scale every trip. Once a job passes two loads, a container in the driveway generally costs less after you count fuel, time, and the trips you would rather not make.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a recliner, a mattress, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you nearly always run out of room before the weight allowance becomes an issue.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Ohio also bars scrap tires from ordinary landfills, and appliances holding Freon need separate handling. Ask your account manager where those items should go before your container arrives.
Our 10-yard container carries the lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you load decides the rest. Plaster, concrete, and wet roofing can push a small container past its weight allowance fast. Putting heavy material in a load of its own usually works out cheaper.
Three days normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job instead of by the day. The weight in the container at pickup matters much more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage your quote includes.
Most home and construction debris belongs in an Akron dumpster, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, and furniture. Clean concrete and brick work best as their own load. When an item seems borderline, check with your account manager before you load it.
