At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Bloomington, Minnesota, and the surrounding Hennepin County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. This is a large, mostly built-out city with a postwar housing stock that is now being reworked street by street: basements finished, kitchens and baths gutted, roofs and siding replaced, garages rebuilt. Alongside that runs a steady flow of commercial construction and tenant improvement work along the Interstate 494 strip and around the airport and the mall district.
The number you pay depends on the container size, the weight of the material, the length of the rental, and the charge where the load is taken. Bloomington adds two local factors: its household collection is organized by the City, and its right of way carries seasonal restrictions. Both are covered below.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size is the first decision and Bloomington makes it easy in one respect: lots here are generous and driveways are long, so access rarely rules a size out. The job does.
Material weight is the lever that moves money. Concrete from a driveway, a brick chimney or a tear-off roof puts tonnage into a container fast, while a houseful of furniture and cardboard fills the space and barely troubles the scale. Say which you have when you call.
Who may collect what is the third factor and it is genuinely local. At a single-family or two-family house, household trash and recycling are collected under a City contract rather than by arrangement with a hauler of your choosing. At a commercial, industrial, institutional or multiple-family property, the City's rules name licensed roll-off trucks working for pay. So the answer for your address is worth confirming with your account manager before a container is ordered.
The last factor is the calendar. Bloomington closes underground work in its right of way from November 15 to April 15, applies seasonal road weight restrictions, and requires right of way work to be finished by 3 p.m. the workday before each of eleven observed holidays. On a street-adjacent job those dates can move your delivery.

Work from the volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-load container. Broken concrete, brick, block, plaster and soil all belong in it, because every one of them will reach its weight allowance while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the common Bloomington project: a finished basement taken back out, a bathroom stripped, a two-car garage emptied, or one slope of roof replaced.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual answer for a renovation across several rooms or a full cleanout before a sale, and it sits comfortably on a suburban driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, teardowns and new construction, where framing, drywall, cabinets, roofing and fixtures all come out at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is built for commercial work along the interstate corridor, warehouse clearouts and industrial projects.

On private property, including your own driveway or a commercial lot, Bloomington does not publish a container permit. The city rules are about where containers are kept and how they are maintained, and they expect them on the premises rather than at the curb between collections.
The street is where the city gets specific. Bloomington publishes no container permit for the public right of way, and its right of way rules are built around work in the right of way rather than storage. Three of those rules still reach any job near the street. No underground work is allowed between November 15 and April 15. Seasonal road weight restrictions apply and are posted. And all work in the city right of way has to be finished by 3 p.m. on the workday before an observed holiday, with eleven holidays on the list.
The City is also blunt about the consequences of ignoring permit conditions: failure to comply with state law, city code or the permit conditions may result in the permits being revoked without refund.
Right-of-Way Permitting answers on 952-563-4606, and the Engineering Division, which keeps office hours Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., is on 952-563-4870. Business Licensing, which handles the city's refuse hauler licenses, is on 952-563-8728. Your account manager will work out which of those you actually need, and will confirm the collection rules for your address before a date is set.
Standard construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The exclusions come from the state definitions the city adopts and from the county facilities that take the material.
Minnesota treats a long list of materials as separate waste streams rather than trash, and the city code adopts that list word for word. Construction debris, tires, lead acid batteries, motor and vehicle fluids and filters, ash, street sweepings and tree waste are all outside the definition of mixed municipal solid waste, which is why project debris moves in a container rather than in a cart.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos cannot go in a standard container at all. Electronics and appliances need their own route: the county drop-off takes televisions, monitors, laptops and large appliances for a per-item charge, and mattresses go to its Brooklyn Park site rather than the Bloomington one.
If anything on your list looks borderline, send it to your account manager before it goes over the side. It is cheaper than a rejected load.
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.
Bloomington is unusual in that the City knows where every licensed hauler takes its material. Its refuse hauler application asks the applicant to state the locations where material will be hauled, and to file the vehicle identification numbers of every truck used in the city along with proof of liability cover. That means your account manager can tell you the destination for your container and not guess at it.
For a mixed construction load, the destination is a permitted facility outside the city rather than a municipal site, because the county's own sites are not open to this kind of load. Charges there run by weight and by material, which is why separating heavy and clean material pays.
The county facility in the city is the South Hennepin Recycling and Problem Waste Drop-Off Center at 1400 West 96th Street, open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Mondays, weekends and holidays. It is the right answer for paint, chemicals, electronics and appliances, and it charges by the item for tires, screens and large appliances. It is open to Hennepin County households only, with proof of residency, so it cannot take a contractor's load or the contents of a roll-off container. Call 612-348-3777 with questions about it, and let your account manager confirm your container's destination before delivery.
1400 West 96th Street, Bloomington, MN 55431
County drop-off open Tuesday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Hennepin County households only, with per-item charges.
Most Bloomington rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Call a few days out if your drop spot is anywhere near the street, because the seasonal and holiday rules can decide the date for you.
Five things that keep a Bloomington delivery on track:
Watch the holiday list too. Work in the city right of way has to be finished by mid-afternoon the workday before each observed holiday, which in practice shortens the week around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole City of Bloomington, from the older east-side neighborhoods off Lyndale Avenue and the Bloomington Freeway through the Normandale and West Bloomington streets to the hotel, office and warehouse properties along Interstate 494, and we run the same routes across the surrounding Hennepin and Dakota County suburbs. One basement or a whole commercial floor, we schedule delivery, swaps and disposal around your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm how the local collection rules apply at your address, and quote the 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 on a five-day rental in Bloomington. Material weight and the receiving facility's charge decide where you land inside those ranges. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before the container is scheduled.
For a project of any size, the container is cheaper. The county drop-off in the city is for households only and charges by the item, so a renovation load means driving to a commercial facility and paying at the scale each trip. One container handles the lot in a single haul with disposal included.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Furniture and other bulky items use up volume long before weight, so plan that container around cubic feet.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos all have to stay out. Minnesota also treats tires, lead acid batteries, vehicle fluids and filters, and electronics as separate waste streams. The county site takes televisions, monitors, laptops and appliances for a per-item charge. Mention any of these when booking.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest to empty: load it with concrete or soil and the weight allowance is gone early, which adds charges. On a Bloomington driveway there is usually room for a larger container, so compare the two.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job and the disposal rather than the number of days. Weight drives the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included, what an extra ton costs, and what a longer rental would add.
Most building and household debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too and usually cost less when they travel in their own container. Run anything unusual past your account manager before loading it.
