At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Columbia Heights, Minnesota, and the inner suburbs north of Minneapolis in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. This is a city of older post-war houses on small lots, so kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishes, roof tear-offs and new infill construction all keep roll-off containers busy here.
Four things set the price: the size you pick, the material you load, how many days you keep the container, and what the receiving facility charges for that material. Below you will find our ranges, the street permit rule with its current fee, and the items Minnesota keeps out of the trash.

Here is what moves the number on a Columbia Heights quote.
Container size is the first choice and the one worth getting right. Ordering one size up costs less than paying for a second haul when the first container fills early.
Material weight is the second. Asphalt shingles, old plaster and lath, tile and busted concrete all run heavy, and a small container packed with them can pass its weight allowance while it still looks half full.
Placement is the third. Lots here are narrow, driveways are short, and plenty of homes sit on an alley. If the container has to go in the street, the City charges a permit fee and asks for flashers overnight, which adds a little to the job.
The receiving facility is the fourth. Mixed debris leaves Anoka County for a permitted disposal site, and that haul is built into the quote. Your account manager can explain the whole breakdown before you book.

Start with volume, then check the weight of what you are loading. We run five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a short driveway and suits dense material: a torn-out patio, a chimney, a bathroom gut, or a load of dirt and brick.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the workhorse for a packed single-stall garage, carpet and padding from a few rooms, or a small roof tear-off on a bungalow.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common pick in Columbia Heights. One holds a full basement cleanout or a kitchen remodel without eating the whole driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on whole-house remodels, garage teardowns, and new infill builds where the debris runs bulky.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts along Central Avenue and the industrial strip.
Not sure which way to go? Give your account manager the details and they will steer you to the right one.
If the container sits entirely on private property, such as your own driveway or a parking pad, no City permit applies. Columbia Heights is unusually clear about what happens once it does not.
The City requires a street obstruction permit for any non-motorized obstruction placed in the street, and it names dumpsters, storage containers and building or landscape materials right in the rule. The Engineering Department handles the application.
The fee is published and current. A street obstruction permit costs $30.00 and is good for 30 days, with an extension at $15.00 per week after that. If the container will stay in the street overnight, flashers are required, and the City lends them from Public Works against a $150.00 deposit.
City offices are at 3989 Central Avenue NE, and Engineering answers on 763-706-3705 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. Tell your account manager where you want the container and they will help you line the permit up with your delivery date.
Most household and remodeling debris is welcome. The limits come from Minnesota law and from what the receiving facility is allowed to take.
Minnesota bans yard waste from the garbage. Leaves, lawn cuttings, weeds, shrub and tree waste, and prunings all have to go somewhere else, which is why brush and branches travel separately from a mixed container.
Household hazardous waste is out as well. That covers paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, and anything labeled flammable, corrosive or toxic. Anoka County keeps those out of the trash because they can harm collection crews and the environment. Asbestos stays out too.
Tires, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, fluorescent bulbs and household batteries all have their own route here through the City's own recycling center. Appliances and electronics need separate handling as well. When an item has you second guessing, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
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.
Anoka County runs no landfill of its own, so mixed debris from a Columbia Heights container leaves the county for a permitted disposal facility. The destination depends on the material in the load, which is one more reason to keep clean concrete and brick separate from general junk.
Two public sites nearby handle the things that cannot ride along. The Columbia Heights Recycling Center at 3801 Madison Street NE takes used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, scrap metal, fluorescent bulbs, household batteries and a limited number of tires. It is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., is staffed by volunteers from the local Kiwanis Club, and is free for residents. It accepts only the items on its published list, so no construction debris.
For chemicals, the Anoka County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 3230 101st Avenue NE in Blaine takes paint, solvents and similar products from households, with proof of residency. It is open Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings year round, plus Thursday and Friday from April through October, and it cannot take waste from businesses.
Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and what the facility charges for your material before the container is dropped.
3801 Madison Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421
City run and free for residents, open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
3230 101st Avenue NE, Blaine, MN 55449
Open Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings year round, with added Thursday and Friday hours from April through October.
Most orders here can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few extra days help if you need the street permit, and early booking usually prices better.
Five habits that make delivery day easy:
Winter is worth planning around too. Snow emergencies and plow routes make a container in the street harder to keep, so a driveway spot is the safer bet from December through March.

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 here, and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and where the load ends up move the final number. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything past a couple of truckloads, renting wins. Disposal sites charge a minimum on every visit, the nearest ones are outside the county, and a pickup truck holds very little. One container handles in a single haul what five or six trips would.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, used oil, antifreeze, car batteries, fluorescent bulbs and asbestos. Minnesota also bans yard waste from the garbage, so leaves, grass, brush and prunings travel separately. Tires and appliances need their own handling and should be mentioned when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight is what can change that. Load it with concrete, tile or wet plaster and you may clear the included tonnage with the container only half full, so dense material is usually cheaper in a load of its own.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. What you put in matters far more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton costs.
Nearly all remodeling and cleanout debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and soil are fine as well, and they cost less in their own load. Your account manager will check any item you are unsure about.
