At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Clifton, New Jersey, and the rest of Passaic County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Clifton is a city of older two-family homes, long commercial strips along Route 46 and Route 3, and steady construction and renovation work, all of which keeps roll-off containers in demand year round.
Four things set your price: the size you pick, the debris you put in it, how long the container stays, and what the transfer station charges to take the load. Below you'll find our price ranges, Clifton's own dumpster rules, and the materials that have to stay out.

Pricing a Clifton job comes down to a short list, and container size is the easiest part of it.
Size is where it starts. Moving up one size usually costs less than booking a second pull because the first container filled early.
Weight is where the money hides. North Jersey disposal is billed by the ton, so plaster, old tile, slate roofing, and broken masonry burn through a weight allowance quickly. Tell us up front if the load will be dense, and we will size it for weight instead of volume.
Distance to the scale matters too. Passaic County has no public landfill and no county-run transfer station, so every load leaves Clifton for a privately operated, state-authorized station, most of them clustered a few miles north in Paterson. Those operators set their own rates, and they change with the material.
Clifton's own rules can shape the schedule more than the price. The city regulates how long a container may sit and how much of a street it may take, and the company supplying the container has to be registered with the City before it arrives. Factoring that in early keeps a delivery date from slipping.

Start with how much you are removing, then check whether it is heavy. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes, 10 through 40 yards, and Clifton's narrow residential streets make the smaller ones more popular here than you might expect.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is short enough to tuck into a driveway on a tight block. It fits a bathroom gut, a basement cleanout, or a load of busted concrete walkway. Heavy material belongs in this one, because dense debris reaches the weight cap early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the step up for a garage, an attic, or tearing carpet and tile out of a couple of rooms. It holds noticeably more without needing much more curb space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster handles a full two-family cleanout, a kitchen and bath done together, or a reroof on a typical Clifton home. It is the size most homeowners here end up choosing.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a gut renovation, or a storefront build-out along one of the highway strips. Mixed debris from framing, drywall, and finishes all fits in one container.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Contractors use it for commercial demolition, warehouse cleanouts, and apartment turnovers that throw off a lot of bulky, light material.
Not sure where your job lands? Tell your account manager what you are tearing out and they will size it with you.
A container on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, does not need City permission. Clifton's rules kick in the moment a container touches a street, a public alley, or any other public place.
The City sets firm limits for containers in the street. One is a five-foot buffer from the nearest neighboring driveway. Another caps how much of the roadway you may take, measured against traffic conditions, and no more than a third of the street's width. A third is a timing rule people trip over: the container may not show up more than a day before work starts, and it may not stay more than a day after work finishes.
Two more conditions ride on the container itself. It has to carry the owner's name, address, and telephone number where anyone can read them, and the front and rear surfaces have to be reflectorized so drivers can judge its height and width at night. A container that breaks the rules can be impounded by the Police Department after a short notice to its owner.
Clifton also requires the business supplying a container to register with the City Clerk before offering one anywhere in the city. That duty falls on the provider, not on you, and your account manager can confirm how it is handled before your delivery date is set.
For questions about a specific street, the City Clerk's office is at 973-470-5825 and the Engineering Department is at 973-470-5793. One more thing worth checking: several roads running through Clifton belong to Passaic County rather than the City, and work on those goes through the Passaic County Road Department at 973-881-4500.
Ordinary construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The exclusions come from New Jersey law and from what the receiving station will take.
New Jersey makes recycling mandatory rather than optional. Each county names the materials that must be kept separate from trash, and every town writes that list into its own rules, so what counts as a recyclable in Clifton is a local answer. Your account manager can check the current list before you load.
Electronics are their own category. Televisions, computers, monitors, laptops, desktop printers, and fax machines are collected free through New Jersey's E-Cycles program and should never ride out in a container. Clifton says plainly that its crews will not take them with the garbage either.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are out of a standard container everywhere, and Clifton adds propane tanks to that list in strong terms. Tanks are the homeowner's responsibility, they will not be collected, and leaving one out can earn a summons.
The City's curbside crews also refuse dirt, stones, brick, and concrete. In a rented container those are accepted, but they are heavy, and they are the fastest way to an overage charge. Ask your account manager before you load anything you are unsure about.
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.
Clifton sits in a county with no public landfill, so there is no county gate your load passes through. Debris from Clifton goes to a privately operated transfer station licensed by the state, and the nearest group of them is in Paterson, roughly five miles north. New Jersey keeps the roster of approved sites on its authorized transfer station list. From there, material is sorted and moved on by truck or rail, often well out of state.
Materials that cannot go in the container have a local home. The Clifton Recycling Center at the City Hall complex, 900 Clifton Avenue, takes electronics and similar items Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Public Works yard on East 7th Street takes them on weekdays. For paint, solvents, and household chemicals, Passaic County holds collection days three times a year.
Because the receiving stations are private operators, their rates and their accepted materials are not posted the way a county landfill's would be. Your account manager can confirm which station your load is routed to and what it will accept before the container leaves our yard.

City drop-off at the City Hall complex, open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Most Clifton rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving us a few extra days helps, because Clifton's timing rule means the container should land close to the day work actually begins.
Five things make delivery go smoothly:
Plan around the weekend as well. Transfer stations in this area keep shorter Saturday hours and close on Sundays, so a container topped off late in the weekend usually waits 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 10-yard container in Clifton runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the rate at the receiving transfer station move the final figure. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting almost always wins in this part of North Jersey. There is no public county facility to drive to, private stations charge a minimum at the scale, and you would be making the run through Paterson traffic more than once. One container holds several pickup loads and stays put while you work.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a few chairs, and a stack of boxes. Household furniture is bulky rather than dense, so volume runs out well before the weight allowance does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and propane tanks. Electronics have to go to a recycling site under New Jersey law rather than in the container. Materials your county names as mandatory recyclables also need to be kept separate, and your account manager can confirm that list.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. That is the rental price, not the whole cost. Load it with plaster, tile, or masonry and the weight charge can pass the saving you made on the container. Keeping dense debris in its own small load is usually the cheaper route.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight, not calendar time, drives the bill. In Clifton it is still worth keeping the rental short, since the city expects a container to leave soon after the work is done.
Nearly all ordinary job debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, cabinets, flooring, shingles, siding, doors, fencing, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean brick, block, and concrete are fine as well and are best kept in their own load. When an item is borderline, your account manager can check before you load it.
