At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Allen, Texas, and the wider Collin County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Allen's housing stock is reaching the age where roofs, kitchens, and flooring all come due at once, and construction along Bethany Drive and the US 75 corridor keeps commercial containers moving as well.
Your price depends on container size, what you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the regional landfill or transfer station. Allen also runs its own permit rules for construction containers, and they shape which sizes are available at a house, so start here before you book.

Size sets the starting price, and in Allen it also decides what the City's rules allow at a single-family address.
Weight does the rest. Allen's code holds the customer to a loading limit: a loaded container and the truck together may not exceed 54,000 pounds, which works out at roughly 12,000 pounds of material in the container. Shingles, tile, brick, and concrete reach that line quickly, so heavy debris usually belongs in its own smaller load.
The destination is fixed by the City, not chosen by the hauler. Construction containers from Allen go to a North Texas Municipal Water District transfer station or to the District's landfill in Melissa, and the District sets the price. Transfer stations charge $80 per ton with a one-ton minimum, the landfill $52 per ton with the same minimum.
One surcharge is worth planning for on a roof job. Any load containing roofing shingles carries an extra $150 charge at both the transfer stations and the landfill. Keeping the tear-off in one container, rather than spreading shingles across two, saves that charge twice.
Permit costs sit on top. Allen charges a permit fee and a franchise fee for each container placement, set by resolution rather than printed in the code, so your account manager confirms the current figures with the City before your quote is final.

Pick by volume, check the weight, then check what the City allows at your address. For a home project in Allen, the City's private hauler permit covers containers of 20 cubic yards or less, so the two largest sizes are commercial work here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right container for dense material. Concrete, brick, mortar, and tile all hit the weight limit long before the container is full, so a small one is the economical choice.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a two-car garage cleanout, a kitchen tear-out, or a roof on a smaller house. It is the most common roofing size in Allen because it balances volume against that 12,000 pound practical limit.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the largest container available for residential work in Allen under the City's permit. It covers a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for commercial and new-construction sites: additions, tenant fit-outs, and mixed demolition debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and suits commercial demolition, warehouse clearing, and high-volume construction along the highway corridor.
Tell your account manager whether the job is residential or commercial and they will confirm which sizes the City permits there.
On private property, a container needs no City permit. Your driveway, your parking lot, or a fenced job site is fine, provided the container does not block a sidewalk, an alley, or a fire lane.
A City street, alley, sidewalk, or median is different. Allen updated this rule in 2024, and it now makes placing any object, material, or storage container on a public street or alley unlawful unless the City permits it. There is an exception for a dumpster actively in use for construction work that has an active building permit, but it comes with a condition: the container may only go in the street where it is shown that adequate space on private property is not accessible. The City can also require it to be repositioned, marked for visibility, or protected with traffic control devices.
A home project is tighter still. Containers placed under the City's residential construction debris permit may not sit on City property or in City alleys, streets, or rights-of-way at all, and that permit covers one address, runs 30 days, and can be extended once for another 30 on a further fee.
Applications and the permit fees go through the City of Allen Building and Permitting Division at 305 Century Parkway. Call 214-509-4130 to confirm what your project needs. Your account manager can also work out whether your driveway has the space to keep the container off the street in the first place, which is usually the simpler answer.
Lumber, sheetrock, roofing, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, windows, trim, fixtures, furniture, and general cleanout junk are all fine in a standard container.
Hazardous material is not. Paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and chemicals of any kind have to stay out, and the District that receives Allen's waste says plainly that batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and chemicals are never accepted. Asbestos, ammunition, explosives, medical waste, and electronics are all handled separately too.
Liquids are a specific problem. Allen's code requires commercial customers to keep liquid waste of any type out of their containers and to make sure nothing leaks from them. Propane tanks are refused whether they are full or empty, and a lawn mower only goes in once the fuel and oil are drained.
Tires come with their own rules at the landfill and a per-tire charge, and loader, farm tractor, grader, and scraper tires are refused outright. Treated and painted wood is excluded from the District's wood recycling route, so fencing and deck boards are priced as ordinary debris rather than recycled material.
Anything you are unsure about should go past your account manager first, and we will arrange the right route for it.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Allen's code decides the destination, not the hauler. Temporary open-top construction containers have to be hauled to a North Texas Municipal Water District transfer station or to the District's landfill, and the District operates all four of those sites itself.
The 121 Regional Disposal Facility at 3820 Sam Rayburn Highway, Melissa, TX 75454 is the landfill, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Custer Road Transfer Station at 9901 Custer Road, Plano, TX 75025 and the Lookout Drive Transfer Station at 1601 East Lookout Drive, Richardson, TX 75082 both run Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Every site is closed on Sundays and on the holidays the District lists on its solid waste facilities page.
For you, the practical effects are the one-ton minimum charge, the shingle surcharge, and the late-exit fee at the landfill after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. Loads also have to arrive covered, which is why the containers travel tarped.
Your account manager confirms which site your container is routed to and what the disposal charge will be before delivery. District questions can go to its own line at 972-442-5405.
3820 Sam Rayburn Highway, Melissa, TX 75454

Most Allen rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out leaves room for the City paperwork if a permit is involved.
These five habits make delivery go smoothly:
Allen allows construction work from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, which gives plenty of room for a delivery window. The receiving sites are the constraint instead: they are closed on Sundays, so a container filled on Saturday afternoon usually travels Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Allen, from the older neighborhoods around Main Street and Allen Heights out to Twin Creeks, Bethany Lakes, and the commercial blocks along US 75 and State Highway 121, and we cover the neighboring Collin County cities on the same routes. Because Allen runs its container service through a City franchise with a separate permit for private haulers, your account manager confirms how the City's rules apply to your address and project size before anything is booked.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will check which sizes the City permits at your address, confirm where the load is going, and give you a clear price on the call.
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.
Allen rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris type, the District's per-ton charge, and the City's placement permit fee all move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
In Allen the rental wins clearly, because self-hauling a remodel is not really an option. The free resident drop-off at the District's sites excludes remodelling waste of every kind, including sheetrock, tile, carpet, cabinetry, windows, trim, and shingles, so a project load means paying commercial rates at the gate on every trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you will run out of room long before you approach the loading limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, asbestos, and electronics. Propane tanks are refused full or empty. Tires carry a separate charge and large equipment tires are not accepted at all, so tell us about them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is actually cheapest depends on the load, since Allen holds you to about 12,000 pounds of material per container and dense debris reaches that quickly. Splitting concrete or shingles into a dedicated load usually costs less overall.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as a five-day one, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives the bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, sheetrock, roofing, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, windows, trim, gutters, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are accepted too, and they cost less when kept in their own load. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
