At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Cary, North Carolina, and the surrounding Wake County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Kitchen and bath remodels in the established neighborhoods off Chatham Street and Maynard Road, steady construction and tenant fit-outs along the Weston and Crossroads corridors, and the constant churn of roof and siding work keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and contractors here.
Your price comes from the container size, the type and weight of the debris, the days you keep the container, and the per ton disposal charge at the county landfill. Below you will find our price ranges, the right-of-way question, the materials North Carolina keeps out of landfills, and how fast we can deliver.

Four things decide where a Cary quote lands.
Size sets the base rate. Stepping up one size is cheaper than a second pull, and a whole-house remodel almost always makes more debris than the first estimate suggests.
Weight does most of the work after that. Disposal in Wake County is billed by the ton, and the county charges a tipping fee of $37 per ton for municipal solid waste. Shingles, tile, and concrete add up quickly against that rate.
Where the load can go matters here too. The county landfill normally takes waste only from licensed haulers on established accounts, and the material has to have been generated inside Wake County. That is one more reason to let us run the load rather than borrow a trailer.
Placement shapes the schedule more than the price. Most Cary driveways take a container without any paperwork, but a spot in the street or over an easement needs a conversation with the Town first.

Choose by volume, then sanity check the weight. We carry five sizes and most Cary projects sit in the middle.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container. It fits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a landscaping project, and it is the right choice for concrete, brick, and tile, which reach the weight limit well before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen remodel, a single-layer roof tear-off, or clearing a two-car garage down to the slab.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Cary homeowners order. It handles a full-house cleanout or a remodel running through several rooms, and it still sits comfortably on a standard driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new builds, and tear-out work producing framing lumber, drywall, and roofing together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Commercial construction, office fit-outs, and demolition work with a high volume of bulky debris are where it belongs.
Describe the job and the drop spot to your account manager and they will match the container to it.
A container that sits on your own driveway or inside a fenced job site generally needs no approval in Cary. The question changes once any part of it crosses into a street, a sidewalk, or a utility easement.
The Town of Cary is clear that encroachments are not normally allowed in a right-of-way or an easement unless unusual circumstances apply and the easement holder gives approval. The Town does not publish a separate dumpster permit, so the answer for your address comes from the Town rather than from a form.
Call the Town of Cary Transportation and Facilities Department at 919-469-4030 and describe the spot, the dates, and whether the container will narrow a travel lane or sit over a utility easement. The same office handles grading permits and right-of-way questions, so one call usually settles it.
Many Cary lots have a wide utility easement behind the curb that is easy to mistake for your own yard, which is why that call is worth making early. Your account manager can help you reach the right person and plan delivery around the answer.
Most household and jobsite debris is fine. North Carolina keeps a long list of materials out of landfills, and the Town adds its own rules on top.
The state bans from landfills used oil and oil filters, yard trash, white goods such as refrigerators and washers, antifreeze, aluminum cans, whole scrap tires, lead-acid batteries, wooden pallets, oyster shells, televisions, and discarded computer equipment including monitors and printers. Mercury thermostats and fluorescent tubes are barred from unlined landfills, and every construction and demolition landfill in the state counts as unlined.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and pool chemicals stay out of a container as well, and asbestos needs its own handling.
The Town of Cary will not collect earth, rocks, masonry, concrete, scrap metal, lumber, sheet rock, plaster, asphalt shingles, or porcelain plumbing fixtures at the curb, and its residents' drop-off site is closed to contractors and to construction debris. A roll-off container is the straightforward route for all of it.
Mention tires, appliances, electronics, and anything unusual to your account manager when you book so the load clears the gate the first time.
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.
Debris from Cary heads to the South Wake Landfill, which sits southwest of the intersection of Old Smithfield Road and Highway 55 Bypass in Apex, on the line with Holly Springs. Wake County owns it, it opened in 2008, and it takes the garbage from the county's businesses and 1.1 million residents. The county expects it to keep running until around 2040.
Two county rules shape how a load gets in. The landfill normally accepts waste only from licensed haulers with established credit accounts, and everything brought in has to have been generated inside Wake County. Both are handled on our side rather than yours.
Material that cannot go in a landfill has a separate home nearby. The South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC 27539 takes antifreeze, large appliances, cardboard, cooking oil, electronics, motor oil and filters, scrap metal, and up to ten wooden pallets. It is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to Wake County residents and businesses.
Your account manager confirms where your container is going and what the disposal charge will be before delivery day.
6130 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC 27539
Wake County site for appliances, electronics, scrap metal and motor oil, open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Cary rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out costs nothing and gives you the pick of delivery times.
These habits keep delivery day simple:
Plan around the county calendar too. The recycling facility on Old Smithfield Road closes at 4 p.m. and stays shut on Sundays, so anything that needs to go there is worth handling before the weekend.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Cary, from the older streets around Chatham Street and downtown to Preston, Weston, Amberly, Highcroft, and the neighborhoods off Davis Drive and Green Level Church Road on the west side. Give us the address and we will arrange delivery, pickup, and disposal for it.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, check the placement, 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Wake County bills disposal by the ton, so the weight of your debris moves the total as much as the size does. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting wins for almost any real project. The county landfill in Apex mostly serves licensed haulers on accounts, and the Town drop-off site is closed to construction debris, so self-hauling is awkward here. One container takes the whole job in a single pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged items. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will fill the container before you reach the weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, used oil and oil filters, lead-acid batteries, whole tires, televisions, computer equipment, white goods, and yard trash, all of which North Carolina bars from landfills. Asbestos needs separate handling, so flag anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Weight decides the rest. Fill a small container with tile or concrete and the included tonnage runs out early, which adds overage against the per ton rate. Keeping dense material in its own load usually costs less overall.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because we price the container around the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves the final bill far more than time does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton adds.
Most home and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, furniture, carpet, siding, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and masonry are accepted too and often cost less kept separate. Check unusual items with your account manager first.
