At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Ashland, Kentucky, and the surrounding Boyd County river towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Ashland's housing stock is old by Kentucky standards, so plaster, lath, and single-pane windows come out of these homes by the truckload. Hospital campus work, downtown storefront rehab, and industrial construction along the Ohio River keep contractors ordering containers all year.
What you pay turns on the size you choose, the weight of what goes in, how long the container stays, and what the landfill charges to bury the load. Below are our ranges, the City offices to call about a container in the street, the Kentucky rules on what can be buried, and how fast we can deliver.

A handful of things decide what an Ashland container costs.
The size you pick is the biggest lever. Going one size up often costs less than a second haul, and it keeps you under the included weight.
Debris weight is close behind. Older Ashland houses hide heavy material: plaster and lath, slate, cast iron radiators, and brick chimneys. All of that is dense, and dense loads reach their weight limit early.
Disposal is the third piece. Loads from Ashland are buried at the landfill on River Cities Drive at the edge of town, and the site sets its own charge by the ton.
Access matters here more than in most towns. Ashland's old streets are narrow, many homes sit on alleys, and the hillside blocks south of town have steep, short driveways. Tell your account manager what the approach looks like and we will send a truck that fits.

Start with how much you expect to throw out, then think about weight. We carry containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom, a porch tear-off, or a single room stripped to the studs. It is also the size we put on brick, block, and concrete work, since heavy debris fills the weight allowance long before the space.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen, a flooring job, or a roof on a smaller Ashland home. It is the step up most homeowners end up taking.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most popular size in Ashland. A full-house cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a plaster gut job all fit comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, big interior demolition, and new builds. There is height for long lumber and bulky framing scrap.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It suits commercial demolition downtown, warehouse cleanouts, and industrial jobs along the river.
Not sure where your project lands? Describe the rooms and the materials to your account manager and they will size it for you.
If the container sits on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, Ashland asks nothing extra of you. That covers most of the deliveries we make in town.
A container in a City street, alley, or sidewalk is a different matter. Ashland does not publish a standalone dumpster permit, so the right move is a phone call before delivery rather than a form.
Two offices share the ground. The City of Ashland Engineering Department keeps Ashland's right-of-way records and maps, and it reviews building plans before permits go out. It sits in Suite 408 of the City Building at 1700 Greenup Avenue, open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Engineering page gives the office line as 606-385-3332.
Permits tied to construction come from the City's Building Inspection division in Room 208 of the same building. Its permit page says permits are needed for all residential and commercial construction, right down to a fence or a deck, and lists the office at 606-385-3317.
One more thing worth checking: several main routes through Ashland are state-maintained highways rather than City streets, and the state handles its own right-of-way. Your account manager can help you work out which office owns your block and get you to the right person.
Everyday household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from what Kentucky lets a landfill bury and from what the receiving site turns away at the gate.
The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet describes the kind of landfill that takes your load as built for nonhazardous waste from homes, businesses, and industry. Construction debris means nonhazardous, non-soluble material, with brick, concrete, and lumber as the examples. Anything hazardous is out.
Tires are the item we get asked about most in Boyd County. Only shredded tires are on the list a landfill may accept, so whole tires stay out of the container. The state runs free waste tire collection events for Kentucky residents on a rotating county schedule.
Paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, lead-acid batteries, pool chemicals, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Appliances holding refrigerant need a certified technician to recover it first.
Televisions and computers are not banned from Kentucky landfills for households, though the state pushes recycling instead. Businesses face tighter rules on electronics. Either way, tell your account manager what is going in, and ask before anything unusual goes over the rail.
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.
Ashland debris is buried at the landfill at 1837 River Cities Drive, just southwest of town off US 60 near the I-64 exit. The Kentucky Division of Waste Management keeps the permit record for the site, which is licensed to take household, commercial, and industrial waste from Boyd County.
Loads are weighed and charged by the ton there, which is why the weight of what you load moves your bill more than the number of days you keep the container.
Clean recyclables have a separate home. The City runs the Ashland Recycling Center under the 13th Street Bridge, open Tuesday mornings, Thursday and Friday afternoons, and all day Saturday. Residents show a Kentucky license with an Ashland address, and the center page notes that businesses cannot buy access. Pulling cardboard and clean metal out first can shave real weight off a cleanout.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the charges before the truck rolls.
Most Ashland orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of extra days helps if you still need to call the City about a street spot.
Five habits that make delivery go smoothly:
Weekends need a little planning. The landfill keeps limited Saturday hours and is closed Sunday, so a container topped off late in the week usually gets hauled at the start of the next one.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Ashland, from the Central Park and Bath Avenue blocks and the downtown Winchester Avenue corridor to Westwood, Summit, Cannonsburg, and the nearby Boyd and Greenup County communities of Catlettsburg, Flatwoods, Russell, and Raceland. We fit delivery, pickup, and disposal around your crew and your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will steer you to the right size, confirm where the load is going, and give you a firm number 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.
Ashland rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Your debris weight and the landfill rate per ton shape the rest. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
For one small pickup load, hauling it yourself may win. Past that, the math turns fast: every trip to the landfill means another gate charge, more fuel, and more of your day. A single container handles a whole room or roof in one go.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. You will still have space for a mattress, a recliner, and a dozen bags. Bulky furniture runs out of room well before it runs out of weight allowance.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, lead-acid batteries, and asbestos out of an Ashland container. Whole tires are out too, since only shredded tires may be buried in Kentucky. Appliances with refrigerant need a certified technician first, so mention them when you book.
Our 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest price we offer. It is ideal for one room. Just watch the weight, because Ashland plaster, brick, and slate can top out a small container and add overage charges.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, because we price the project instead of the calendar. Weight drives your total far more than time does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs.
Lumber, plaster, lath, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, siding, furniture, and ordinary cleanout clutter are all fine in an Ashland container. Clean brick and concrete are accepted as well, and they are cheapest in their own small container. Run odd items past your account manager first.
