Prime Dumpster brings roll-off containers to Caledonia, Wisconsin and the lakeshore townships north of Racine in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Farmhouse and ranch remodels out along Four Mile Road, basement and barn clearing around Franksville, roof work on the older bluff properties and new construction off Douglas Avenue all call for a container at some point.
Price comes down to the size you take, how dense the material is, the number of days you keep it and the charge at whichever licensed facility receives the load. The sections below set out the sizes, the Village position on haulers and street placement, what Wisconsin bans from disposal, and the one material route that can save real money on a demolition job.

What moves the number in Caledonia.
Volume comes first. The container you pick sets the base, and the right size the first time saves a second trip.
Density is the bigger variable on rural Racine County jobs. Fieldstone, poured concrete, old asphalt shingles and heavy clay all weigh far more per cubic yard than household goods, and a short container of them will reach its allowance well before it reaches the rails.
Disposal is the third factor, and it turns on what you separate. Wisconsin lets clean hard material take a much cheaper route than mixed debris, which is covered further down the page, and a load that stays clean is worth money.
Days on site is the last factor. Our quotes run on five days and a longer window is priced before delivery.

Choose by volume and confirm by weight.
The 10-Yard Dumpster takes about three pickup loads, or one room stripped out. On a Caledonia job it is the proper choice for concrete, fieldstone, brick and soil.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage, a bathroom gut or a modest roof section.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the standard answer for a house clearing or a remodel across several rooms, and for heavy mixed material it is usually as far as it makes sense to go.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles an addition, a barn or outbuilding strip, or a new residence with a lot of framing waste.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest we carry, built for commercial demolition and large construction schedules. Farm lanes and long gravel drives are usually fine for it, though soft spring ground is not, so talk the approach through first.
Describe the work to your account manager and the size follows.
A container on private property, on your own driveway or on your own farmyard, clear of the road and any sidewalk, needs no Village permit in Caledonia.
The road is the part to plan for, because Caledonia has no published route for a container there. The only street permit the Village publishes is written for block parties and similar neighborhood events, and it must be denied where the proposed use is primarily for private or commercial gain. It also needs a petition signed by most of the adult residents along the block, a review by the chief of police, possible insurance and a possible performance bond, and it cannot run past ten at night. None of that is designed for a roll-off container.
What that means in practice: plan the placement on private ground. If there is genuinely nowhere on the property to put it, talk to the Village before you book, because an administrative route may exist that is not written down. We will never promise a road placement in Caledonia on the strength of the published rules alone.
On the hauler side, Caledonia is refreshingly simple. The Village grants no collection franchise, keeps no approved-hauler list and licenses no haulers of its own. It contracts a cart service for household trash and recycling and leaves everything else to the property owner, and its code sets only timing rules: material out at the roadside by seven in the morning on collection day, no earlier than fifteen hours before, and containers off the roadside within twelve hours after collection. The baseline on a roll-off operator in Wisconsin sits at state level, as a Department of Natural Resources transportation license, and your account manager confirms that side of things before delivery.
One local rule does reach the customer directly, and it is worth knowing if you own property on both sides of a municipal line: it is unlawful to place out for collection in Caledonia any waste or refuse that was not generated inside the Village. Debris from a job in Racine or Mount Pleasant should not be brought over to a container at a Caledonia address.
Village Hall sits at 5043 Chester Lane and is open weekdays from eight to five; the Village's own garbage and recycling page covers the household arrangement.
Ordinary remodelling and clearing debris is accepted. Wisconsin's own ban list is the main constraint and it is broad.
The Department of Natural Resources publishes the materials banned from disposal and is clear that the bans "apply everywhere in Wisconsin, including in homes, businesses, schools, institutions and at special events". The list covers aluminum and bi-metal containers, corrugated cardboard, glass containers, magazines, newspapers, office paper, plastic containers numbered one and two, steel cans, electronics, lead acid batteries, major appliances, used oil filters, waste oil, waste tires and yard waste including brush under six inches across.
Construction and demolition debris is not on that list, so a mixed container of building material is lawful to landfill in Wisconsin. What is not lawful is burning it. The state prohibits burning painted, treated and other unclean wood, asphalt, plastics of any kind, oily substances, rubber products and wet refuse, and burning an unwanted building is prohibited outright except for an approved fire department practice burn of a structure that has been inspected and cleared of asbestos first.
Appliances and televisions need their own route rather than the container. The usual limits also apply: no liquids, no wet paint, no fuel, nothing hazardous. Check anything unusual with your account manager.
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.
Racine County runs no county landfill, so a Caledonia container goes either to a licensed Wisconsin disposal site or to a sorting facility, depending on what is in it. Every active site within reach of the lakeshore is privately run, which is why no facility listing appears here and why the destination is confirmed load by load.
The part that actually saves money is what you separate. The Department of Natural Resources publishes guidance on construction and demolition debris and notes that wood, shingles and brick or concrete together make up more than a quarter of everything landfilled in the state each year. The state waste code then exempts the disposal location for a specific short list of clean materials from the normal requirements, provided the fill does not go into a floodplain, a wetland, a surface water environment or critical habitat: brick, broken concrete or asphalt pavement, building stone, clean soil, concrete, reinforced concrete, and unpainted or untreated wood.
That is a genuinely different route for a clean hard load, and it is only open while the load stays clean. Chipped or shredded unpainted wood can also be used for erosion control, landscaping, trail surfaces and soil amendment without prior approval, though the exemption does not extend to glued products or wood treated against rot and insects. The agency's reusable list runs wider still, taking in aluminum siding, asphalt shingles, carpet and carpet pad, metal and PVC pipe, porcelain plumbing fixtures, structural steel and rebar, vinyl siding and gypsum wallboard. Your account manager will tell you whether splitting the job into two containers beats one.
Most Caledonia rentals can be arranged inside one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Book a little further out in spring, when soft ground limits where a loaded container can stand.
Worth sorting before you call:
Disposal sites in the Racine and Milwaukee area keep weekday hours and short Saturdays, so a container filled late in the week is normally collected at the start of the next.

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 Caledonia container runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard on a five-day rental. Weight and the receiving facility's charges decide the final figure, and a clean separated load of brick or concrete costs less to handle than a mixed one. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
Renting wins on almost every job here. With no county site to use, self-hauling means repeated trips to a private facility, a minimum charge each time, and a trailer you may not own. A single container covers the work with one delivery and one collection, and nothing travels loose.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, so there is still room for a mattress, a chair and a run of boxes. Furniture fills space rather than weight allowance, which is why a household load tops out on volume long before it gets heavy.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents and fuel out. Wisconsin also bans appliances, electronics, tires, waste oil, oil filters, lead acid batteries, yard waste and common recyclables from disposal statewide, so those need separate handling. Flag appliances and televisions when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it stays cheapest depends on the load, because fieldstone, concrete or clay can carry it past its weight allowance. The reliable saving on a demolition job is separating the clean hard material rather than taking a smaller container.
Three days normally costs the same as the standard five-day rental, because containers are priced per job rather than per day. Material and weight matter far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what a longer window adds if the weather might hold the job up.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, carpet, cabinets, roofing, fixtures, furniture and general clutter are all acceptable, and construction debris is lawful to landfill in Wisconsin. Concrete, fieldstone and soil are fine within the weight allowance. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
