At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Bettendorf, Iowa, and the Iowa side of the Quad Cities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Bettendorf keeps containers busy in two different ways at once: the established neighborhoods between State Street and Duck Creek are steadily remodeling, re-roofing and finishing basements, while construction continues on the newer ground north of Interstate 80 and along Middle Road, alongside commercial work through the riverfront and TBK corridor.
Four things set the number you pay: how big the container is, how heavy the material is, how long it stays, and what the county landfill charges to take it. Below are our ranges, the two street permits Bettendorf publishes, the material the Scott County landfill turns away, and what delivery looks like.

Container size sets the base, and Bettendorf lots are generally roomy enough that the job decides the answer rather than the driveway.
Material weight decides the rest. Shingles off a Quad Cities roof, a torn-out concrete drive or a chimney will use the tonnage allowance quickly, while a houseful of furniture and cardboard fills the space without troubling the scale. Tell us the mix and the quote comes back right the first time.
The destination is unusually transparent here, which helps. Loads from Bettendorf go to the Scott County landfill run by a public waste commission that does not haul waste itself, and the commission funds its sites entirely from tipping charges rather than taxes. Your account manager can confirm the site and the material charge before the container arrives.
Finally, there is one timing point specific to private haulers in this city. The code bars a private collector from working within 500 feet of a residential zone before 7:00 in the morning, so a very early swap near houses is not something we can offer in Bettendorf, and that occasionally shifts a schedule by half a day.

Start with the volume of the job, then sanity check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes between 10 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material choice. Concrete, brick, block, tile and dirt all belong here, because any of them will reach the weight ceiling long before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits the ordinary Bettendorf project: one bathroom or kitchen stripped out, a garage emptied, a basement cleared, or a small section of roof pulled off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most households end up with for a renovation covering several rooms or a full cleanout before a move. It handles mixed debris in volume.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new houses on the north side of town, and demolition that turns out framing, drywall, cabinets and roofing together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we carry, aimed at commercial construction, warehouse clearouts and industrial work where there is space to place it and volume to fill it.
If you are weighing two sizes against each other, walk the job through with your account manager before you book. Splitting heavy material out often changes the answer.
On private property in Bettendorf, a driveway, a yard or a commercial lot, no city permit is needed for the container itself. The city rules only ask that a container not be left where it blocks pedestrians or traffic and not be set on a neighbor's property.
A street or public ground is a different matter and Bettendorf publishes two routes rather than one. The Director of Public Works issues permits for using streets and public grounds to store material, sets the barricades, lights or flares required with the Chief of Police, and a bond has to be lodged before the permit is issued. Separately, placing building material in a street needs a written permit from the Community Development Director, and that one is subject to revocation by the City Council.
Two practical conditions come with the street route. Material must not block the gutters, and the person occupying part of the street has to enclose or guard it, with lighted barricades placed there and kept burning at night. The city does not offer to supply those, so they are worth pricing in before you choose a street spot over a driveway.
Call the Bettendorf Public Works Department at 563-344-4088 to reach either officer, or email the department from the city's solid waste page. No fee is published for either permit. Your account manager will tell you whether the spot you have in mind needs one at all.
Normal building and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Iowa's land disposal rules and from what the Scott County landfill will bury.
Iowa keeps yard waste, baled waste, lead-acid batteries and waste tires out of land disposal, and whole tires cannot go into a sanitary landfill unless they are cut to eighteen inches or less. The county landfill page puts the first of those plainly: grass, leaves and logs may not be landfilled and go to a compost site instead, and computers and televisions have to go to the separate electronics facility rather than into a load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos are out of a standard container. The city also attaches a cost to getting that wrong: anyone who puts hazardous material out for city collection is made responsible for every cost the city incurs because of it, including injury to staff and cleanup of city equipment.
Appliances holding refrigerant, propane cylinders and tires should be kept out and mentioned when you book. Anything you are not sure about, raise with your account manager first.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Bettendorf's own curbside service stops short of construction work, and the code says so in terms. The city is not responsible for collecting construction waste, bulk debris or brush produced by contractors or by anyone doing work for profit or personal gain, and no city collection is made from lot or land clearing, remodeling, alterations or new construction, whether or not a contractor is employed. Non-residential generators are told to get their own waste to a permitted disposal site. A roll-off container is how that gets done.
Loads from Bettendorf go to the Scott Area Landfill at 11555 110th Avenue, on County Road Y-48 near Buffalo, Davenport, IA 52804. The gate is open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, closed on holidays, and every vehicle has to be unloaded and back out before closing. It is run by the Waste Commission of Scott County, a public agency that states it does not provide collection or hauling services, and it serves both residents and businesses. One condition matters for a job near the county line: waste generated anywhere in Iowa outside Scott County is accepted only with prior approval.
Material the landfill will not bury has its own home. Computers, televisions and other electronics go to the Electronics Recovery Center at 5650 Carey Avenue, Davenport, IA 52807, and the commission runs a household hazardous material site and a recycling drop-off on the same Carey Avenue campus. Your account manager confirms the destination for your load, and whether anything in it needs separating first, before the truck rolls.
11555 110th Avenue, Davenport, IA 52804
Open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, closed holidays; waste from outside Scott County needs prior approval.
5650 Carey Avenue, Davenport, IA 52807
Where computers and televisions have to go, since the county landfill will not bury them.
Most Bettendorf rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If a street permit is in play, allow extra time for the bond and the barricades rather than the paperwork alone.
Five things that keep a Bettendorf delivery smooth:
Keep the landfill calendar in mind as well. The gate shuts at 11:30 on Saturday morning and stays closed on Sundays and holidays, so a container filled late on a Saturday usually travels on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers the whole City of Bettendorf, from the older streets between State Street and Duck Creek through the newer subdivisions north of the interstate and out along Middle Road, plus the riverfront and commercial properties, and we run the same routes across the Iowa side of Scott County. Whether you are gutting one bathroom or stripping a commercial unit, we schedule delivery, swaps and disposal around your working week.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out whether your spot keeps you clear of the street permit, and quote the whole job 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental in Bettendorf. Where you land depends on the weight and type of debris and the county landfill charge. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before anything is booked.
Once a job runs past a couple of trailer loads, the container wins. Self-hauling to the county landfill means a charge at the scale every trip, fuel, and a vehicle that can take rubble safely, and the gate closes at 11:30 on Saturday morning. One container clears it in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Furniture and other bulky household items run out of space long before they run out of weight allowance.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos. In Iowa, yard waste, lead-acid batteries and tires are barred from land disposal, and the county landfill sends computers and televisions to a separate electronics site. Flag refrigerant appliances and propane cylinders when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Whether it is actually the cheapest answer depends on the load: fill it with concrete or wet plaster and the weight allowance runs out early, which adds charges. Heavy material in its own container is usually the cheaper route overall.
Three days normally prices the same as five, because the rental covers the job and the disposal rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage the quote includes, what another ton costs, and what an extension would be.
Most construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and block go in too, and they are usually cheaper to dispose of kept separate. Clean pallets and untreated dimensional lumber can be recycled rather than buried. Check odd items with your account manager.
