At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Brooklyn, New York, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Brownstone gut renovations, walk-up apartment turnovers, Sunset Park warehouse conversions, and construction along Fourth Avenue and the waterfront all produce more debris than a curb can hold, and almost none of it is something the city will collect.
What you pay comes down to container size, the weight of the load, how long the container sits, and the fees at the private facility that takes it. Below you will find our price ranges, the street permit Brooklyn jobs usually need, who is allowed to haul the material, and where it ends up.

Brooklyn pricing has the usual drivers plus two that are specific to New York City.
Size still comes first. A larger container costs more up front, but it beats paying overage charges or waiting on a second delivery in a borough where delivery windows are tight.
Weight is next. Plaster, lath, brick and old tile from a prewar building are far heavier than the same volume of modern drywall and framing. A small container of brownstone demolition debris can outweigh a large container of cabinets and carpet.
Access is the third, and it is a real cost here. Narrow streets, parked cars, bike lanes, low scaffolding and double-parked trucks all affect how long a delivery takes. Tell us the street and the block and we can plan for it.
Last, the destination. New York City has no landfill of its own, so every load goes to a privately run facility that sets its own rates and then leaves the city. That is built into the quote, and your account manager will explain it before you book.

Choose for volume, then check the weight, because old Brooklyn buildings are heavy. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest and the one most often used in the city. It fits a single bathroom, a small kitchen, or a load of brick and plaster, and it takes up the least curb.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a full kitchen, a floor of an apartment, or a basement cleanout. It is a good middle size when a 10-yard will fill before the job is done.
The 20-Yard Dumpster handles a whole-apartment gut, a multi-room renovation, or a store fit-out. It is the largest size many Brooklyn blocks can comfortably take.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a townhouse gut renovation, a roof and interior together, or a commercial job with room to place it.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is meant for demolition and large commercial sites with off-street space, such as the industrial lots along the Sunset Park and Red Hook waterfront.
Describe the block and the job to your account manager, and they will tell you what actually fits.
If the container will sit entirely on private property, such as a driveway, a yard or a private lot, no city street permit applies. In most of Brooklyn there is no driveway, so this is the exception.
For the street, a permit is required. New York City's Department of Transportation requires a commercial refuse container permit for every container placed on a city street next to the curb. One permit covers one container at one location for up to five consecutive days. The carting company applies for it, not you, and approved applications usually come through the same or the next business day.
Read this part twice, because it catches people out. The permit does not come with parking rights and does not reserve you a space. The curb has to be clear when the truck arrives, which in Brooklyn means planning around alternate side parking and getting neighbors on board. A container also cannot go in a no standing or no parking zone, on a corner, in a crosswalk, or in front of a hydrant.
If your job needs a Department of Buildings or city construction permit, a longer 30 to 90 day construction debris container permit exists instead, and it is issued only to registered general contractors. For questions about who is allowed to place and haul the container, the Business Integrity Commission is at 100 Church Street in Manhattan and can be reached at 212-437-0500. Your account manager can point you to the right permit and the right office before your delivery date.
Ordinary renovation debris is exactly what these containers are for. The limits come from city rules about separate handling and from what each receiving facility is authorized to take.
New York City requires several materials to be kept out of a general load and collected separately. Those materials include fill material, medical waste, electronic waste, textiles, landscaper yard waste, grease, and paper collected for shredding. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos never belong in a container, and asbestos is a live issue in prewar Brooklyn buildings.
The receiving facilities add their own limits. New York State authorizes each Brooklyn site for named waste types, and several of them take only clean concrete, rock, brick and asphalt. A mixed renovation load and a clean masonry load go to different places, which is one reason keeping them separate can cost you less.
One more rule worth stating plainly: the city says it is illegal to dump waste or debris on any street, lot, park or other property, and illegal to remove or dispose of trade waste without the right city registration. That is why a licensed container is the simple answer here.
If you are not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
New York City has no landfill and no public construction waste site. Every load of Brooklyn renovation debris goes to a privately owned facility that New York State has permitted or registered, and from there it leaves the city by truck or rail.
New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation lists 15 active construction and demolition facilities in Kings County, all of them private. They sit in two industrial belts. The larger cluster is along Newtown Creek on the Greenpoint and East Williamsburg line, with sites on Varick Avenue, Stewart Avenue, Kingsland Avenue, Maspeth Avenue, Hausman Street, Anthony Street and Scholes Street. The second runs from the Sunset Park waterfront out through Canarsie and East New York, with sites on 50th Street, Preston Court, Troy Avenue and Essex Street.
Each site is authorized for named materials. Some take mixed construction and demolition debris, while others are registered only for concrete, rock, brick and asphalt millings. That is why the kind of load you build changes where it can go.
Your account manager will confirm which facility is receiving your load and what its fees mean for your total before the container is delivered.
Most Brooklyn rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking further ahead matters more here than almost anywhere, because the street permit and the curb space both take arranging. Early booking can save you money too.
Here is how to make delivery go smoothly:
Keep the five-day permit window in mind. If a job runs longer than that, the container has to be swapped or a fresh permit arranged, so tell us the schedule up front.

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.
Brooklyn rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Debris weight, street access and the private facility's disposal fees all move the final number. Your account manager confirms included tonnage, overage rates and the permit arrangement when you book.
In Brooklyn, renting wins easily. There is no public dump to drive to, and hauling your own debris legally means city registration, commercial plates and an account at a private transfer station. One container handles the whole job without any of that.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of cartons. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you will run out of room before you reach the tonnage limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos, which matters in prewar Brooklyn buildings. The city also requires separate handling for medical waste, electronics, textiles, grease and fill material. Tires and appliances need their own arrangement, so mention them before the container arrives.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499, and it is also the easiest size to place on a Brooklyn street. Weight is the catch. Plaster, brick and tile reach the tonnage limit fast, so ask your account manager whether a separate masonry load works out cheaper.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job rather than the day count. It is worth noting that a street permit runs for five consecutive days, so a shorter rental does not reduce the permit. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included before delivery.
Most renovation and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, flooring, cabinets, tile, roofing, doors, windows, furniture and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, often at a better rate when kept separate. When an item is borderline, check with your account manager first.
