At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the surrounding Atlantic County mainland in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Guest room and casino floor renovations, rental turnover in the Chelsea and Ducktown blocks, and construction and demolition work on the inlet side keep roll-off containers busy for property owners and contractors alike.
Four things decide your price: the container size, the material and its weight, how long the container stays, and the county tipping charge for that material. Below are the price ranges, the City approvals a container on the street needs, what the county authority accepts, and how soon we can arrange delivery.

Container size is the starting point, and on a barrier island the space available often decides it before the volume of debris does.
What the material is matters more in Atlantic County than almost anywhere, because the county authority prices by waste type. Construction and demolition debris is charged at $117.21 per ton while ordinary trash is charged at $89.89 per ton, and there is a minimum charge of $10.00 at the weigh-in for any load at all.
Clean separation is where the real money sits. Concrete, brick, and block broken into pieces of eight inches or less, free of metal, wire, rebar, and tar, can be recycled at $20.00 per ton instead, and clean wood with no paint, preservative, or glue on it goes through at $10.00 a load. There is a catch that decides who can use those rates: they are for haulers registered with the state, and an unregistered load is charged at the construction and demolition rate whatever is in it. That is one of the clearest cases anywhere for a container and a registered hauler rather than a self-haul run.
Rental length is the smallest factor. We price by the job rather than by the day, so an extra day or two rarely changes the number, while the approvals for a container at the curb can change your schedule.

Start with volume, then look hard at the space. We carry five sizes, and in the city's older blocks the drop spot is usually the deciding factor.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest and the easiest to place on a narrow street or a small lot. It is also the right container for dense material like concrete, block, and tile.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a unit stripped out, a bathroom gutted, or a small roof job, and it still fits where a longer container cannot turn.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a whole-apartment cleanout or a remodel running across several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a large renovation, a guest floor rebuild, or a mixed demolition load with framing, drywall, and roofing in it.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and the one for commercial demolition, hotel and casino projects, and high-volume construction work.
Describe the site and the job to your account manager, and they will match the container to both.
A container on private property, including a parking lot, a driveway, or a fenced site, does not need City approval. That is the simple route and it is worth planning for.
A container on a street or sidewalk is the opposite of simple here. Atlantic City allows no commercial waste receptacle or bin to be placed on public property, a street, or a sidewalk without written approval from four separate parts of the City: the Department of Public Works, the Bureau of Investigations and Inspections, the Fire Department, and the Police Department. All four, in writing, before the container arrives.
The street opening rules add their own timing. Work in land under City jurisdiction needs at least 24 hours of notice to the City Engineer, five working days where the work needs a detour, and no work happens on weekends, holidays, or between sunset and sunrise without the City Engineer's written permission.
One City rule works in your favor. Containers in the city generally have to be kept covered at all times, and permitted temporary watertight demolition containers are written in as an exception to that requirement, which is a useful thing to know when a job runs over several days.
The City sets its own fee for a debris container in the right of way by ordinance rather than publishing it on a schedule, so ask when you apply. Start with the Department of Public Works Director's Office at 609-347-5700, listed on the City's own Public Works page. Your account manager will help you work out whether the drop spot you have in mind is public ground at all.
Framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, and general cleanout debris all load fine. The limits here come from the county authority's gate and from the City's own recycling rules.
Hazardous waste and electronics are both refused outright at the county authority, so paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, asbestos, televisions, monitors, and computers all need another route. Liquids and sealed drums stay out of every container.
The City runs a mandatory recycling program that reaches commercial and institutional properties, covering aluminum cans, glass containers, plastic containers, cardboard, and paper. Those materials have to come out of the waste stream rather than ride along in a demolition load, and cardboard is the one that catches most job sites.
Two conditions at the county gate are worth knowing in advance. Only material generated inside Atlantic County is accepted, and rented vehicles cannot be used to dispose of solid waste under New Jersey law, which rules out the moving truck or trailer plan entirely. Anyone unloading at the site also needs a hard hat and a high visibility vest. Tires are priced per tire up to eight and by the ton above that, with rims removed. Ask your account manager about anything unusual before it goes in the container.
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.
Atlantic County operates under waste flow control, so there is no guessing where a load goes. The county has the legal power to direct its waste, and construction and demolition debris generated in the county is among the types required to come to the county authority's transfer station.
That site is the Atlantic County Utilities Authority environmental park at 6700 Delilah Road in Egg Harbor Township, a public authority open to residents and commercial haulers alike. The gate runs Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon, with Saturday hours extended to one in the afternoon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and it is closed on Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The authority's number is 609-272-6950 and it publishes its own disposal rates by waste type.
Before a load goes in, the authority expects a waste origin and disposal form to be filled out, and it directs customers to check whether they need state transporter registration or decals. All loads containing concrete go to the transfer station for inspection first, and a load that skips that step is charged at the construction and demolition rate.
Your account manager confirms the waste type your container will be classified as, and what that costs per ton, before the delivery is scheduled. On this island that one conversation is often worth more than the container discount.
6700 Delilah Road, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234
Open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday morning; Atlantic County material only.
Most Atlantic City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the only workable spot is on a street, plan further ahead, because the four City approvals are not a same-day matter.
Five things keep a delivery on track:
Think about the county hours at the end of the job. The transfer station closes at noon on Saturday outside the summer season and is shut on Sundays, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon normally travels on Monday.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out the county waste type for your material, and give you a firm 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.
Atlantic City rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. The county charge for your waste type sets the rest. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the overage rate when you book.
Here the container nearly always wins. New Jersey does not allow a rented truck or trailer to be used for waste disposal, the county charges unregistered loads at the construction rate, and the site expects a hard hat and vest at the unloading area. A container removes all three problems.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture and fixtures fill the space long before the weight limit, so a unit cleanout is sized by volume.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, and asbestos all stay out, and the county authority refuses electronics outright. Cardboard, glass, plastic containers, and cans fall under the City recycling rules, so keep them separate. Tires are charged individually and need rims removed.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The cheapest total often comes from the material instead: clean concrete in small pieces and clean unpainted wood are charged at much lower county rates than mixed debris. Your account manager can price the separated route against the mixed one.
Three days is normally the same price as five, because the quote covers the job rather than the number of days. The weight and the waste type are what move the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Almost all construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and block are accepted as well and are priced lower when properly separated. Check anything unusual with your account manager before it is loaded.
