At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Chillicothe, Ohio, and the surrounding Ross County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older housing near the historic downtown, a steady run of kitchen and bath remodels, and construction along the US 23 corridor keep roll-off containers moving for homeowners and contractors alike.
What you pay comes down to the size you pick, the kind of debris you load, how long you keep the container, and the disposal fees where your load is taken. Below, you'll find price ranges, the city's container permit rules, and a plain list of what can and can't go in.

Four things move the number on a Chillicothe quote, and the first one is the container you pick.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more at the start, but the right size saves you from overage charges and from paying for a second haul you didn't plan on.
Weight matters just as much as volume. Shingles, plaster, brick, and concrete are dense, so they eat through a weight allowance long before the walls are full. Tires and appliances are usually billed per piece, so tell us about them when you book.
The trip to the disposal site counts too. Ross County has no landfill of its own, so loads are weighed at a transfer station in town and trucked on from there. Some construction and demolition loads go to the county-run Fayette County Transfer and Landfill Station instead, which charges $45 a ton for construction and demolition waste with a $25 minimum, and adds a surcharge for waste from outside its own county.
City rules can add a small amount as well. If the container will sit on a street, an alley, or a metered space, the City of Chillicothe charges $2.00 for a dumpster permit plus $1.00 per day for every parking space taken out of service. Your account manager will fold the likely cost into your quote.

The right size depends on how much debris the job makes and how heavy that debris is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest option. It suits a bathroom remodel, a small cleanout, or a yard project. It's also the smart pick for concrete, brick, and tile, since dense material reaches the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size work like emptying a garage, pulling old flooring, or a small roof tear-off. You gain room without stepping up to a much larger price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Chillicothe homeowners end up with. It handles a whole-home cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms, with space to spare for odd furniture.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits larger renovations, new home builds, and tear-down work. It's a good match when a job makes a high volume of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition jobs, and industrial cleanouts.
Still weighing two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they'll point you to the one that fits.
A container on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, does not need a city permit in Chillicothe. One local rule is worth knowing first, though. In a residential district, the city limits how long a large waste container can sit within sixty feet of a city street, with an exception for a lawfully run business or trade activity and for lots where there is simply nowhere farther back to put it. Most driveways sit inside that sixty feet, so it pays to ask before delivery.
Once any part of the container touches a street, an alley, a sidewalk, or a parking space, you need a permit. The City of Chillicothe issues a dedicated dumpster permit through the Safety Service Department, and the form sits on the city's forms and permits page next to a separate street closure permit for work that blocks a lane outright.
The permit form asks for the exact location, a start time and an end time, and the name of the responsible party. It costs $2.00, plus $1.00 per day for each parking space or meter the container shuts down. Signing it commits you to a few real conditions, so read them before delivery.
Those conditions matter on a busy street. You have to put up protective devices around the container, keep a safe walking route past it, and light the area properly the whole time it blocks the street. The city can pull the permit at any time, and you agree to hold the city harmless for anything that happens in the blocked area.
The Safety Service Department is at 35 S. Paint Street and can be reached at 740-773-2700, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you aren't sure whether your drop spot counts as city right-of-way, your account manager can help you reach the right office before you book.
Most household and jobsite debris loads without a problem. The limits come from Ohio law and from what the receiving site will take at the gate.
Ohio bans lead-acid batteries, the kind that start cars, boats, and mowers, from solid waste landfills. State law also says you can't mix one in with your trash. Take them to a retailer or a recycling drop-off instead, since a single battery can hold up a whole load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos stay out of a standard container as well. The public transfer and landfill station serving the area says plainly that it takes no liquids, asbestos, chemicals, or hazardous waste, and it no longer accepts batteries or oil at all.
Ohio also treats construction and demolition debris as its own category with its own rules, and it keeps clean hard fill separate. Clean concrete, asphalt, brick, block, tile, and stone count as clean hard fill only when there's no wood, shingles, or wallboard mixed in. Keeping that material in its own load is usually cheaper, so plan it that way where you can.
Tires, mattresses, and large appliances are handled piece by piece rather than by weight. Mention them when you book, and ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes over the rail.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Ross County has no landfill. Chillicothe's own city landfill closed years ago, and the City Engineer's office now just maintains the site. What the county does have is two permitted transfer stations inside the city, one on Eastern Avenue and one on Seney Road, where loads are weighed, tipped, and reloaded for the trip to a permitted Ohio landfill.
Depending on the material, a construction or demolition load may go instead to the Fayette County Transfer and Landfill Station at 1580 Robinson Road, Washington Court House, OH 43160, about thirty miles northwest. Fayette County runs it, and the gate can be reached at 740-335-1508. It's open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 to 11 a.m., with Saturdays limited to residential waste, and the last load goes across the scale fifteen minutes before closing.
One thing to plan around: the city's own crews will not pick up construction or demolition material at the curb, along with rocks, concrete, tires, motor oil, paint, and batteries. That's exactly the material a roll-off container is for. Your account manager will confirm which site is taking your load and explain the fees that apply before the truck rolls.
1580 Robinson Road, Washington Court House, OH 43160
Run by Fayette County. Open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturday 8:30 to 11:00 AM for residential waste only. Closed Sundays and holidays.
Most Chillicothe rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier gives you time to clear the drop spot and sort out a street permit, and it often costs less.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the gate hours in mind as well. The public transfer and landfill station northwest of town is closed Sundays and holidays and takes only residential waste on Saturday mornings, so a container filled late in the week may not be emptied until Monday.

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 dumpster rental in Chillicothe runs from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the disposal fees at the receiving site shape the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most jobs, renting is cheaper than hauling it yourself. Every run to a transfer station means a minimum charge at the gate, plus fuel, plus hours you don't get back. Once a project runs past a couple of pickup loads, one container usually handles the whole thing in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With bulky household items, you almost always run out of space before you get anywhere near the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Ohio law also bars lead-acid batteries from landfills, so car and mower batteries have to go to a recycler. The public station serving Chillicothe turns away chemicals and asbestos outright, and tires are handled separately and billed per piece.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Your real cost still depends on what goes in it. Heavy material like concrete or plaster can push a small container over its weight allowance fast, so keeping dense debris in a load of its own usually works out cheaper.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as the five-day rate, because containers are priced by the job and not by the day. Weight drives your final bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container arrives.
Nearly all household and building debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are welcome too, and they often cost less when kept in their own load. If one item has you second-guessing, check with your account manager first.
