At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Coralville, Iowa, and the surrounding Johnson County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Coralville has been building steadily for years, from the hotel and retail construction along First Avenue and the Iowa River Landing to new subdivisions on the north side and basement and kitchen work in the older streets near 5th Street.
Your price comes down to the container size, what you load and how heavy it is, the rental length, and the fees at the county's receiving landfill. Below you'll find current price ranges, the rules for a container in a Coralville street, and exactly what the landfill will and will not take.

Coralville is one of the clearer markets to price, because the county landfill publishes its rates.
Size sets the starting point, and one step up beats the cost of a second haul or a weight charge.
What you load matters more here than in most places, and for one specific reason. A regular load from a Coralville address is charged at $52.50 a ton, with a $15 minimum under 600 pounds, while concrete and similar heavy material is billed as special waste at $105 a ton. That is double the rate, so a concrete load belongs in its own small container rather than mixed in.
Cardboard is the other trap. The landfill bans it from garbage loads and may charge double the regular tipping fee for a garbage load that contains it, so flatten it and set it aside.
Rental length matters least of the four. Our pricing follows the job rather than the calendar, and the county does not charge by the day. Your account manager will walk you through the whole figure before delivery.

Pick by volume, then check the weight against the landfill's per-ton rate. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the one to use for concrete, brick, soil, or shingles. Dense material reaches the weight limit while the container still looks half empty, and keeping it separate also keeps it out of the higher special waste rate where that applies.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage clearing, a bathroom and kitchen together, or flooring out of two or three rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most common size in Coralville. It covers a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel and still sits on a standard driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, new builds, and commercial fit-outs, where the debris is bulky but not especially heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for demolition and high-volume commercial jobs.
If you are between two sizes, describe the job to your account manager and they will pick the one that keeps you clear of a weight charge.
On private property, a driveway or a job site, Coralville asks for no permit for the container. Nothing in the city code requires one and the city publishes no dumpster permit form.
A container in a street or alley is a different matter, and the code is direct about it. Coralville makes it unlawful to obstruct a street or alley in any manner, and separately unlawful to park, store, or place machinery or goods of any kind on a street or alley, temporarily or permanently, without the Council's permission. So a street placement here needs the city's say-so, not just a notice to a neighbor.
The city's own instrument for working in the right of way is the Right of Way Permit Application, reviewed and approved by the Right of Way Management Coordinator before any work begins. The published application fee is $200.00, with liability cover of at least $1,000,000 naming the City as an additional insured, and a performance and restoration bond starting at $10,000.00. Work inside Iowa Department of Transportation right of way needs a state form as well.
Call the City of Coralville at 319-248-1700 and ask for right of way management before you commit to a street spot. If you are not certain where the right of way begins, your account manager can help you track down the right person.
Standard building and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Iowa law and from the landfill that receives your load.
Iowa prohibits land disposal of yard waste outright, and the statute tells every city and county to require separation at source. In practice that means grass, leaves, branches, and brush go to composting, never into a mixed load.
The landfill publishes its own refusals, and this list is the one that actually stops a load at the gate. It will not bury yard waste, cardboard, computer and television monitors, tires, appliances, lead-acid batteries, or oil, and a mixed garbage and yard waste load is turned away. Hot ashes, hazardous material, propane and helium tanks, explosives, and medical waste are also out.
Hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, and fuel never belong in a standard container. Asbestos is handled separately and needs 24 hours of notice to the landfill before it arrives.
One more operational rule worth knowing: every load traveling to the landfill has to be secured, and an unsecured load draws a warning and then a $50 charge. Ask your account manager about anything you are unsure of 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.
Nearly every container load from Coralville goes to the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center at 3900 Hebl Avenue SW in Iowa City, about 12 minutes from most of the city. It is owned and run by the City of Iowa City, and its service area is the part that matters to you: it serves residential and commercial customers across Johnson County, which includes Coralville, and it cannot accept material from outside that area.
The gate is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, and it closes on city holidays. It also closes early on windy days to keep litter under control, which is worth a phone call on a gusty afternoon before a haul. The number is 319-356-5185.
The same site runs a Hazardous Material Collection Facility, open to residents Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, with business drop-off by appointment.
For recycling only, the city keeps its own drop-off at the Coralville Drive-In Recycling Center at 212 1st St., open weekdays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday mornings. Trash is not accepted there, so it is the right stop for flattened cardboard rather than for a renovation load.
Your account manager confirms the destination, the weight allowance, and the disposal cost before your container is delivered.
3900 Hebl Avenue SW, Iowa City, IA
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon; may close early on windy days.
Most Coralville orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Spring and late summer are the busy stretches here, with the student turnover in the corridor adding to it.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the landfill's hours in mind at the end of the job. The gate shuts at noon on Saturday and the site closes on city holidays, so a container filled late on a Friday may not be hauled until the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Coralville and the nearby Johnson County communities, from the Iowa River Landing and First Avenue corridor to the Clear Creek, Oakdale, and Camp Cardinal neighborhoods and the Highway 6 business district. We also deliver in North Liberty, Tiffin, University Heights, Hills, and Solon, and we plan delivery and pickup around the landfill's hours so your container does not sit full over a weekend.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, tell you what the landfill will charge for your material, and sort out whether your spot needs the city's permission.
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.
Dumpster rentals in Coralville run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Disposal is charged by weight at the county landfill, and heavy material like concrete is billed at a higher rate. Your account manager confirms the tonnage before delivery.
Renting usually wins once a job runs past a pickup load or two. Each self-haul trip means a minimum charge at the landfill plus your fuel and time, and the city's own drop-off takes recycling only. One container clears the whole job in a single haul.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so volume runs out well before the weight allowance does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. The county landfill also refuses yard waste, cardboard, tires, appliances, lead-acid batteries, oil, and old computer and television monitors. Mention those items when you book and your account manager will arrange separate handling.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The cheapest total bill depends on the material, though. Dense debris in a small container can still trigger a weight charge, and a dedicated heavy load often beats mixing everything into one larger container.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price follows the job and the weight rather than the days. The landfill does not charge by rental length either. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted as well, though at a higher per-ton rate, so they are best kept separate. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
