At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the nearby Fairfield County shoreline in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old multifamily houses in the North End and Black Rock, ongoing construction and conversion work downtown and along the harbor, and the steady pace of roof and siding replacement across the city keep containers in demand year-round.
Four things set your price: the size you choose, how heavy the debris is, how long the container stays, and what the receiving facility charges. Below you'll find our ranges, the city permit rule for streets and sidewalks, what Connecticut keeps out of the trash, and how fast we can get a container to your address.

A Bridgeport quote comes together from a few plain pieces.
Container size is the first. Bigger costs more, but running short costs more still, because a second haul or a load over the weight allowance adds up fast.
What you load matters as much as how much. Slate, tile, plaster, and old chimney brick are heavy for their volume. Lath, trim, carpet, and cabinets are light. Tell us which you have and we can size it properly the first time.
Where the load goes is the third piece. The city's own transfer station takes household trash only, so a remodel container goes to a private facility that charges by weight. Your account manager will confirm the destination and the weight terms before anything is delivered.
Street placement is the fourth. Bridgeport charges a monthly fee for occupying a street or sidewalk, and it charges for each month or part of a month. A driveway or private lot drop skips that cost entirely, so we always look for one first.

Start with volume, then check the weight. We carry five sizes, and city lots here often decide the answer as much as the debris does.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest and the easiest to fit on a tight Bridgeport driveway. It suits a bathroom, a porch tear-off, or a small cleanout, and it's the right choice for brick, concrete, and plaster.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the next step up, good for a garage, a flooring job, or a small roof. It gives real extra room while still fitting most side drives.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers a whole-apartment cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a standard roof replacement. It's our most requested size in the city.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for gut renovations, three-family rehabs, and demolition work. Pick it when debris is bulky and the job runs for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with steady volume.
If the drop spot is tight, say so when you call. Your account manager can weigh size against access and suggest the practical pick.
If the container sits entirely on your own driveway, yard, or job site, Bridgeport doesn't require a city permit. On narrow city streets that isn't always possible, so it pays to check the spot early.
Once any part of the container is in the street or on the sidewalk, the City of Bridgeport requires a permit to occupy that space, issued by the Director of Public Facilities. There are firm limits built into it. The city cannot approve a permit that takes more than half the sidewalk width, and it cannot approve one that blocks pedestrian access at all. The permit holder also has to keep a safe path open around the container and must show the permit if a city officer or police officer asks.
There's a timing catch too. Where the permit restricts public access, the police chief and the emergency operations officer have to be notified in writing at least seven business days beforehand. That is not a same-week process, so start it before you pick a delivery date.
The fee is charged by the month, and a part of a month counts as a full one, which matters if your job straddles the end of a month. The Public Facilities Department is at 999 Broad Street, and the number is 203-576-7130. Your account manager can help you reach the right person and time the application around your delivery.
Most remodel and cleanout material is fine. The limits come from Connecticut law and from the rules at whichever facility receives the load.
Connecticut makes recycling mandatory for everyone, homes and businesses alike. The state also bans three things outright from disposal: grass clippings, household covered electronic devices such as televisions, monitors, printers, and computers, and lead acid or motor vehicle batteries.
Several other items are handled through state takeback programs rather than the trash, including paint, mattresses, mercury thermostats, gas cylinders, and tires. Plan a separate route for those rather than burying them in a container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard container as well. The city code also treats dirt, concrete, and other nonburnable demolition material as a category that needs separate handling, so keep it in its own load.
If you aren't sure where an item lands, ask your account manager before it goes in. A mixed load that gets flagged at the scale can cost you a day.
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.
The city runs the Bridgeport Transfer Station at 475 Asylum Street, Bridgeport, CT 06610. It's open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it serves residents dropping off household trash and recycling. Every load has to arrive covered and secured.
That site is not where a remodel container goes. The city's own list rules out construction debris, cabinets, concrete, sheetrock, roofing shingles, aluminum and vinyl siding, toilets, and sinks, and it accepts no more than two tires per trip. For demolition and bulk material, the city points people to private waste facilities in nearby Stratford and Milford instead.
That's why your container's destination is set job by job. The city code also lets Bridgeport inspect any load delivered to its designated facility, and it bars waste collected outside the city from being tipped there, so loads are tracked carefully.
Your account manager confirms which facility will receive your debris, what it accepts, and how the weight is charged, all before the container arrives.
475 Asylum Street, Bridgeport, CT 06610
Run by the City of Bridgeport Public Facilities Department. Open Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Household trash and recycling only.
Most Bridgeport rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier helps, especially if the container has to go in the street, where the notice period alone runs more than a week.
Five things that make delivery go smoothly:
Keep the city transfer station schedule in mind for your own small drop-offs too. It's closed Sundays, so a weekend cleanout may need to wait until Monday.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, look at the drop spot with you, and give you a clear 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The debris type and the receiving facility's charge by weight move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything bigger than a car load, renting wins. The city site takes household material only, so remodel debris means paying at a private scale, trip after trip, plus fuel and your own time. One container handles the job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, chairs, and boxes. With furniture you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit, so volume is the thing to plan around.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Connecticut also bans electronics such as televisions and computers, lead acid batteries, and grass clippings from disposal, and routes paint, mattresses, and tires through separate programs. Mention anything out of the ordinary when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and it fits where larger ones can't. Keep in mind that a small container full of plaster or masonry can pass its weight allowance quickly. Sorting heavy material into its own load is often the cheaper route overall.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, because the price covers the job and not the calendar. Weight drives your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery, and there won't be surprises.
Most building and cleanout debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too and usually cost less kept in their own load. When an item seems borderline, check before you load it.
