At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals throughout Bowling Green, Ohio, and the Wood County townships around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Student rental turnover near the university, farmhouse and downtown renovation work along Main Street, and steady light-industrial construction on the north side keep containers busy here most of the year.
What you pay comes down to four things: the container size, how heavy the load is, how long it stays, and the county landfill's charge for the material that month. Below you'll find the ranges, the seven-day street permit that names roll-offs outright, the county gate rules, and what has to stay out of the container.

Bowling Green is unusually easy to price, because the county publishes exactly what it charges at the gate and the landfill is inside the city.
Keeping the load clean is the biggest lever you have. The Wood County Landfill charges $39.71 per ton for construction and demolition material, but it charges any load with household garbage mixed in at the solid waste rate of $45.11 per ton, and every load is inspected and approved. Sorting at the container saves money per ton, not per trip.
There is a second clean-load saving most people miss. Clean surplus dirt and clean used asphalt or millings are accepted at no charge by advance arrangement, so a driveway tear-out or a small excavation can often be split into a free load and a charged one.
Watch the surcharge. The county adds a fuel charge that it adjusts every month across all categories, and it was 18.00% in October 2026. That is why your account manager re-checks a tonnage estimate rather than quoting last month's figure.
Container size and rental length round it out. A dense material such as plaster, tile, or shingles hits its weight allowance well before the walls are full, so your account manager will usually point a heavy load at a smaller container.

Pick for weight first and volume second, especially on anything with masonry or roofing in it. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes in Bowling Green.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is for dense, heavy material: a concrete walk, a brick chimney, a tiled bathroom. It keeps a heavy load inside its allowance instead of over it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clearing, a single bathroom or kitchen strip-out, or a small roof tear-off where volume is modest but weight is not.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a rental turnover, a basement cleanout, or a remodel crossing several rooms, which is a lot of what happens in this city each summer.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles an addition, a new build, or a commercial interior strip where lumber, drywall, and packaging pile up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and belongs on demolition and industrial work that produces high volume at low density.
Not sure where your job sits? Walk your account manager through the material and the access, and they will pick the size.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced site, no city permit applies to the container.
Bowling Green is clearer than most cities about the other case, because its code names this kind of container. A temporary encumbrance on a public street or sidewalk may be allowed by permit from the Safety Director's office, and the code lists dumpsters, roll-offs, portable storage units, and construction equipment as examples. The permit is valid for seven days, and a renewal can be requested for one further seven-day period. You also sign an indemnity statement holding the city harmless for any damage connected with the container.
Two conditions come with it. The code requires an aisle meeting federal accessibility standards to be kept clear at all times, and anyone working in or beside the public way must notify the Safety Director with a time frame and the safety measures planned. The Safety Director may deny a request that would harm access.
No fee is published for the permit. The city's Administration office takes those questions on 419-354-6204, and Public Works answers service questions on 419-354-6227. Because the seven-day clock is short, your account manager will line the permit dates up with your delivery and pickup rather than leave a gap.
Most building and household debris is accepted. The limits here come from the receiving landfill and from the city's own collection rules.
The Wood County Landfill says plainly that it does not accept hazardous waste, lithium-ion batteries, hybrid and electric vehicle batteries, asbestos, or propane tanks, and that it may refuse any load. No tires or lead-acid batteries may be dumped at any landfill. Batteries are taken separately at the landfill's small vehicle unloading area instead.
That asbestos line matters. If your project involves abatement, a container is not the route, and your account manager should hear about it before anything is scheduled.
The city's own crews will not take refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, tires, chemicals, solvents, fuels, or liquid paint at the curb either, so those items need their own arrangement rather than a quiet trip into the container.
Fuel has to be drained from engines and gas caps removed before anything with a tank goes in, which the county asks for to prevent fire or pressure build-up.
Anything you are unsure about is worth one question to your account manager before it goes over the rail.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Bowling Green is in the rare position of hosting its own county landfill, which makes the destination short and the haul cheap.
Loads from the city go to the Wood County Landfill at 15320 Tontogany Road, Bowling Green, OH 43402. It is owned and operated by the Wood County Solid Waste Management District, and its office line is 419-352-0180. The gate is open Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with no inbound customers after 3:15 p.m., and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to noon, with no inbound customers after 11:45 a.m. It closes on New Year's Day and the day after, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the day after.
The city sends you there itself. Its refuse page states that the City is not authorized to pick up building materials, construction or demolition refuse, sod, or rocks, and lists hot and bath tubs, roofing material, and remodelling material among them, with the Wood County Landfill named as the place they go. The city has also ended its funded brush drop-off at the landfill, so yard material now carries the county's own yard waste charge.
Two practical notes. Ohio requires loads to be covered and secured on the way to the landfill, which is part of why a roll-off beats a pickup for anything loose. And the county warns that Saturday volume is heavy with long waits, so a weekday haul usually turns faster.
Your account manager confirms the destination, the current charge for your material, and the cut-off time before your container is collected.
15320 Tontogany Road, Bowling Green, OH 43402
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon, with inbound customers turned away 15 minutes before closing.
Most Bowling Green rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the landfill is minutes away, same-week turns are usually straightforward outside the busiest weeks in May and August.
Five things that make a Bowling Green delivery go smoothly:
Keep the gate clock in mind as well. Inbound customers are turned away after 3:15 p.m. on weekdays and 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, so a late Saturday call usually means a Monday haul.

Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Bowling Green and the Wood County communities around it, from the university district and the Main Street core out to Tontogany Road, Haskins, and the townships along the Interstate 75 corridor. Student housing turnovers, farm outbuildings, and downtown storefront work are all routine for us here.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container for the material, sort the street permit timing if you need one, and tell you what the county will charge for the load.
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 is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container is $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The county landfill charge for your material sits on top of that, and a clean construction load is charged less per ton than a mixed one. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
With the landfill inside the city, self-hauling looks tempting, but you still pay the same per-ton charge, plus fuel, plus your own time, and Ohio requires every load to be covered and secured. Past two or three pickup loads, one container usually costs less and takes one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a chair, and bagged goods. Furniture runs out of room long before it runs out of weight, so judge this one by volume rather than tonnage.
Asbestos is the firm one here, because the county landfill refuses it outright. Also keep out hazardous waste, chemicals, solvents, fuels, liquid paint, propane tanks, tires, lead-acid batteries, and lithium-ion or electric vehicle batteries. Refrigerant appliances need separate handling too.
The 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, and it is genuinely the cheapest option for dense material such as concrete or tile. For mixed remodelling debris a larger container often costs less overall, because one haul beats two and sorting keeps the per-ton charge down.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since containers are priced per job rather than per day. The weight of your material and whether the load is clean will move your bill much more than the number of days. Confirm the included tonnage with your account manager first.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material are all fine. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are welcome and often cheaper in their own load. Clean surplus dirt can be arranged at no gate charge. Ask about anything unusual.
