At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Bristol, Connecticut, and the nearby Hartford County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Bristol's housing came up with its clock and spring factories, so plaster walls, slate, and old balloon framing turn up in almost every renovation here. Mill building reuse downtown, steady construction along Route 6 and Route 72, and a long run of kitchen and basement work keep our containers moving.
Your price depends on the size you choose, the weight of what you load, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving facility charges. Below are our ranges, the City permit you need for a container in the right-of-way, Connecticut's rules on what cannot be thrown away, and how fast we can deliver.

Four things decide the number on a Bristol quote.
Size leads. One container sized for the whole job beats a smaller one plus a second haul, and it keeps you under the included weight.
Weight comes next, and Bristol housing stock makes it matter. Plaster and lath, slate roofing, cast iron radiators, and brick chimneys are all dense. A load of that reaches its allowance with space left over.
The destination matters too. Bristol is one of the few Connecticut cities with a waste-to-energy facility inside its own borders, which keeps the haul short. The facility still charges for what it takes, and that charge follows weight.
Local rules close it out. A container in your own driveway is straightforward. One that sits in the City right-of-way needs a specific City permit, and Bristol has a form just for that. Your account manager will tell you which path your address needs.

Choose on volume, then check the weight. We carry containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster covers one bathroom, a porch tear-off, or a single room taken to the studs. It is also the size we send for brick, concrete, and plaster, which hit the weight limit well before the walls.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a kitchen, a flooring job, or a roof on a smaller Bristol home. It is the step up most homeowners end up needing.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most requested size here. Full basement and attic cleanouts, multi-room remodels, and siding jobs all fit in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, whole-house gut jobs, and new construction. There is height for long lumber and bulky framing scrap.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Mill building conversions, commercial demolition, and industrial cleanouts are its work.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the rooms and the materials to your account manager and they will choose with you.
A container that sits entirely on private property, like your driveway or a fenced site, needs no City permit in Bristol. That covers nearly every residential delivery we make here.
Bristol is clearer than most cities about the other case. The City publishes an Application for Permission to Place Dumpster in City Right of Way, and it lives under the Public Works Department on the City's forms page. If any part of the container will sit in a street, on a sidewalk, or in the strip between them, that is the application you need.
The City of Bristol Public Works Department reviews it. The office is at 111 North Main Street and the phone number is 860-584-6125. The counter runs Monday through Thursday until 4:30 p.m. and closes at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, so start a permit question early in the week.
Public Works also notes that its sidewalk, driveway, and excavation permits are issued by appointment only, which is a good reminder to call before you need the paperwork rather than after.
Route 6, Route 69, and Route 72 are state highways through Bristol, and the state handles its own right-of-way. Give your account manager the address and the spot you want, and they will work out which office owns the curb and get you to the right contact.
Ordinary household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from Connecticut's recycling law, which is unusually strict, and from what the receiving facility will accept.
Recycling is mandatory statewide for every resident, business, and institution in Connecticut. Three things are banned from disposal outright: grass clippings, lead acid and motor vehicle batteries, and household covered electronic devices, which means televisions, monitors, printers, and computers. Those cannot go in a container at all.
A second group has to be handled through separate programs rather than mixed into a load. That list includes scrap metal and appliances, rechargeable batteries, waste crankcase oil, and leaves, which the state says must be composted.
Connecticut also runs product stewardship programs that pull more items out of the trash: paint, mattresses, mercury thermostats, gas cylinders, and tires. A house cleanout can easily turn up three or four of those, so sort them out before loading day.
Liquids, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, and asbestos never belong in a standard container either. Tell your account manager what the job will produce and they will arrange the right route for anything on these lists.
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.
Bristol trash does not get buried. The Reworld Bristol Resource Recovery Facility sits at 170 Enterprise Drive, inside the city, and Connecticut's state list of resource recovery facilities describes these plants as converting municipal solid waste into energy instead of landfilling it. A short haul and no landfill trip is a real advantage for Bristol projects.
The City also runs its own City of Bristol Transfer Station at 685 Lake Ave., off Middle Street. The transfer station page gives its hours as Monday through Friday 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it takes residents only on a permit that currently costs $65.00 for a new five-year account. Business waste runs through a separate City program.
That split is worth knowing before you plan a weekend of hauling. A homeowner with a permit can take a few small loads to Lake Avenue, but a remodel or a roof is more material than a car trunk and a permit account will handle.
Your account manager will confirm which facility your container is headed to, flag anything that needs separating first, and go over the charges before delivery.

State-permitted waste-to-energy plant that takes municipal solid waste instead of landfilling it.
685 Lake Ave., Bristol, CT 06010
Open Monday through Friday 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., permit required.
Most Bristol orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself extra time if the container will use the right-of-way, since the City permit goes through Public Works.
Five habits that keep a Bristol delivery smooth:
Winter is worth planning around. Frozen ground, plow banks, and narrow city streets all limit where a container can sit between December and March, so talk a cold-weather job through with your account manager first.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Bristol, from downtown and Federal Hill to Forestville, Edgewood, Chippens Hill, and the Lake Avenue and Terryville Avenue corridors, along with nearby Plainville, Plymouth, Terryville, Burlington, and Southington. We plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule and your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match a size to the work, confirm where the debris is going, 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.
Bristol rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. The short haul to the local facility helps, but what you load still drives the total. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Bristol residents need a paid transfer station permit and an account with funds on it before they can drop anything off, and a car holds very little. For a remodel, a roof, or a full cleanout, one container costs less than the permit, the fuel, and the weekend combined.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. A dresser, a table, and a stack of bags will still fit around it. Keep mattresses out, though, since Connecticut handles those through a separate program.
Connecticut bans grass clippings, car batteries, and household electronics such as televisions and computers from disposal, so none of those can go in a Bristol container. Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out as well. Mattresses and tires have their own programs.
Our 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest price we offer. It suits a single room or a small tear-out. Watch the weight, because Bristol plaster, brick, and slate can top out a small container quickly and add overage charges.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because we price the project rather than the calendar. The weight of your debris affects the total far more than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Lumber, plaster, lath, drywall, shingles, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, windows, siding, furniture, and ordinary cleanout clutter are all fine in a Bristol container. Clean brick and concrete are accepted too, and both cost least in their own small container. Run unusual items past your account manager first.
