Mon - Sat 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and the Franklin County communities around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The Borough's older brick housing stock keeps kitchen, bath, and roofing work steady, warehouse and distribution construction along the Interstate 81 corridor runs most of the year, and homeowners out through the Cumberland Valley use larger containers for barn and outbuilding cleanouts.
Four things set your price: the size you take, how heavy the load is, how many days it stays, and what the receiving facility charges for that kind of material. Below you will find our ranges, the Borough rule that caps a container in the street at 30 days, what cannot go in, and where the load travels.

A Chambersburg quote turns on four things, and sorting your debris is the one most under your control.
Pennsylvania treats a clean load differently from a mixed one. Under the state's own waste definitions, uncontaminated soil, rock, stone, gravel, brick, block, concrete, and used asphalt stop counting as construction debris when they are kept separate from everything else and used as clean fill. Mix the same material with wood, drywall, and packaging and the whole load changes class. Keeping hard rubble in its own container is often the single biggest saving available on a Chambersburg job.
Weight comes next, and it is why the smallest container is the right answer more often than people expect. Brick, mortar, tile, and shingles reach a weight allowance while a 10-yard still looks half empty. Light bulky material is the opposite case, and that is where a 20-yard or 30-yard pays for itself.
Days matter here more than in most towns. The Borough caps an on-street container at 30 days, which the permit section covers, so a long project needs the drop spot planned rather than assumed.
Access rounds it out. Many older Chambersburg properties have narrow alley approaches and tight rear yards. A driveway the truck can back straight into is quick at both ends, and an alley with a turn in it is not, so tell your account manager what the approach looks like.

Size follows the volume of debris and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we rent and the right pick for heavy material. A bathroom gut, a chimney or porch tear-down, a small cleanout, or a load of brick and block all suit it, because dense debris hits the weight limit first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle: a garage emptied, old flooring lifted, or part of a roof stripped. It buys room without the price of a large container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it handles bulky furniture well.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits additions, new builds, and larger renovations where several trades are working and debris stacks up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction, demolition, and industrial cleanouts with real volume. Note that an on-street spot has to be approved for size, so a 40-yard usually belongs on private ground here.
Not sure which one fits? Describe the job to your account manager and they will size it with you.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, no Borough permit is needed for the container itself. The Borough publishes no application and no fee for that.
The street is where Chambersburg is specific, and unusually so: its code names a roll-off container directly. On-street parking spaces are normally closed to anything over 21 feet, with an exception for a space occupied by a roll-off container of a size and design approved by the Borough Engineer, and that approval cannot run longer than 30 days. Two things follow. The Borough Engineer decides whether your container is acceptable in size and design, not just whether the spot is free, so the size you want is a question to settle early. And 30 days is the ceiling, with no renewal written into the rule.
A second provision backs it up: no one may place refuse in a street, alley, or other public place unless it is in a proper receptacle for collection or the Borough Council has expressly approved it.
If the work involves digging rather than just a container, that is a separate permit. The Borough's published permit table lists an excavation permit at $45 for a non-state route and $75.00 for a state route, issued through Public Works at Borough Hall.
Call Chambersburg Public Works at 717-251-2471 before you commit to a street spot or a delivery date that depends on one. Your account manager can help you work out whether your drop point needs the Engineer's approval at all.
Ordinary construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from what the Borough's own facility will take and from the way Pennsylvania classes waste.
The Borough's yard waste site takes green material only. Its published rules refuse garbage and construction debris outright, and then name the material: beams, block, brick, concrete, construction wood, decking, dirt, gypsum, metal, fasteners, pallets, paneling, plastic, plywood, shale, shingles, siding, soil, and stone are all ineligible there. Grass clippings are out too, and plastic bags are rejected at the gate.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of any standard container. So do propane cylinders and sealed drums. Keep tires, appliances, and electronics separate and mention them when you book, because each travels a different route.
One Pennsylvania point is worth planning around rather than discovering later. The state requires the trucks that carry waste to permitted facilities to hold a current state authorization, and it bars those facilities, including transfer stations, from accepting a load from a truck without one. That is settled before your container is scheduled, not at the gate, and it is part of why we confirm the destination up front.
If an item has you guessing, 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.
Chambersburg runs more of its own utilities than almost any borough in Pennsylvania, and that includes a trash utility and its own yard waste site, so it helps to know which route takes what.
The Chambersburg Green Yard Waste Recycling Center sits at 491 West Commerce Street, just west of the Borough line off North Franklin Street, and the Borough operates it. The Public Works operations supervisor takes questions on 717-261-3213. It runs Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., from the first Tuesday in April to the third Saturday in November, closed Sundays and Mondays, with winter access by arrangement for contractors.
Access is by permit only and nothing is sold at the site. A Borough trash customer buys a prepaid card at City Hall for $20.00, good for twelve visits. A landscaper, tree service, or contractor registers in advance as a commercial permit holder and puts up a $1,000.00 security deposit, then gets invoiced by weight. A gatekeeper checks every vehicle in and can refuse access. Items must be under 30 pounds, under six feet long, and under six inches in diameter, so trunks and logs have to be chipped first.
What that site will not take is the whole point for a project container: no construction debris of any kind. A container load from a Chambersburg remodel or build travels to a permitted facility that handles its class of material, and the authorized truck requirement above applies at that gate. Your account manager confirms which facility is taking your load, and the charges attached, before the truck is scheduled.
491 West Commerce Street, Hamilton Township, PA
Borough run, open Tuesday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April to late November; permit or prepaid card only and no construction debris accepted.
Most Chambersburg orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days of notice is better here, because a street spot needs the Borough Engineer's approval and that is not a same-day errand.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the seasonal calendar in mind as well. The Borough's yard waste site closes for the winter after the third Saturday in November, so a late-autumn clearing job that mixes brush with other debris is best split into separate containers before the gate shuts.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Chambersburg, from the blocks around Memorial Square and the older streets off South Main through the newer east-side neighborhoods out to the warehouse and distribution corridor at the Interstate 81 interchanges, along with the surrounding Franklin County townships. Whether the job is one bathroom in a brick row house or a commercial fit-out, we plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your dates.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material, confirm which facility can take it, 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.
Chambersburg rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day period. The class of material matters as well, since clean separated rubble and mixed construction debris travel to different facilities. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For project debris, renting wins clearly. The Borough's own site takes green waste only and will not accept construction material at all, and access there is permit-only with nothing sold at the gate. That leaves repeat trips to a facility further out, against one container that clears the job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills the volume long before it troubles the weight limit, which makes the smallest size a sensible pick for clearing one room.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, propane cylinders, and sealed drums all stay out. Tires, appliances, and electronics need separate handling. Grass clippings and other green waste have their own Borough route and should not be mixed into a project container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What goes in still decides the bill. Brick, mortar, and tile are dense enough to pass a small container's weight allowance early, so putting hard rubble in its own container usually costs less than one overweight mixed load.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the rental is priced around the job rather than by the day. Weight moves your invoice much more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout material are all fine in a Chambersburg container. Clean concrete, brick, and stone are accepted too, and kept on their own they are cheaper to handle. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
