At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Davenport, Iowa, and the surrounding Scott County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old homes in the Hamburg and McClellan Heights areas coming up for renovation, roof tear-offs after Quad Cities storm seasons, and commercial construction out along East 53rd Street and Elmore Avenue keep roll-off containers moving here year round.
Your price depends on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long the container stays, and the per-ton rate at the landfill that receives it. Below are our price ranges, the permit Davenport requires for a container in the street, where your load goes, and what Iowa keeps out of a landfill.

Four local things move the number in Davenport, and the last one is a genuine saving if your job qualifies.
Size first. Going one size up costs far less than paying for a second haul or for weight you did not budget for, so it pays to describe the job honestly up front.
Weight next. The Scott Area Landfill charges by the ton, and construction and demolition debris and household garbage both run $40.25 per ton there, with a minimum charge on every load. Plaster, tile, and broken concrete reach that weight fast. Awkward items cost more: telephone poles, railroad ties, big root balls, boats, and large concrete chunks fall into a separate higher-priced category.
Now the saving. Clean asphalt shingles are accepted at a reduced rate rather than the standard construction rate, so a roof tear-off kept free of wood, underlayment scraps, and general junk can cost noticeably less to tip. Ask your account manager whether your roof job is clean enough to qualify before you start loading.
Finally, a permit may be in play. If the container has to sit in the street, Davenport charges a small fee for an obstruction permit and requires insurance paperwork with it, which is quick but needs doing before delivery day.

Pick by volume first, then check the weight against it. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we offer. It suits a bathroom gut, a single room, or a yard project, and it is the right choice for concrete, brick, and soil, which hit the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the jobs in between: a garage or basement cleanout, old carpet and tile coming up, or a small single-story roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Davenport households settle on. A whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms usually fits with space to work.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles bigger work, including additions, new builds, and demolition jobs that produce a lot of mixed debris quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction and high-volume industrial cleanouts.
If two sizes look close, talk the job through with your account manager and they will help you choose.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Davenport does not require a permit for a container. That is the simplest route, and it is what we recommend when the site has room.
A container in the street or across a sidewalk is a different matter, and Davenport is unusually clear about it. The city requires an Obstructions and Encroachments Permit for anyone blocking a street or sidewalk with a dumpster, a pod, or other equipment. The city lists the fee at $10, and it also asks for proof of liability insurance and a signed hold harmless agreement when the permit is issued. Traffic control around the container has to follow the state traffic control manual and the city's sight-line rules at corners.
Permits run through Development and Neighborhood Services at 1200 E 46th Street. For questions about a specific address, call 563-326-7745. Closing a lane or a street for a bigger job takes a separate approval.
Your account manager can help you reach the right desk and make sure the paperwork is in hand before your delivery date.
Most building and household debris is welcome. The limits come from four Iowa land-disposal bans and from what the Scott County facility will take.
Iowa law bars four things from going into the ground. Yard waste cannot be landfilled unless it is separated at the source for composting. Lead acid batteries, including car batteries, are banned outright. Waste tires cannot be land disposed. And a landfill may not accept used oil for final disposal, with used oil filters having to be separated and recycled rather than buried.
The landfill applies its own rules on top. Liquids and hazardous materials such as paint, pesticides, herbicides, and automotive fluids are not allowed there at all, and go to the Household Hazardous Material facility on Carey Avenue instead. Grass, leaves, and logs have to go to the compost facility. Computers, televisions, and other electronics have to go to the Electronics Recovery Center, also on Carey Avenue.
Davenport's own rules add that no hazardous waste may be placed in any container used by the city or a private collector, and that the city will not collect, transport, or dispose of hazardous waste of any kind.
One practical note: Davenport requires a commercial container to be covered, and the landfill requires every arriving load to be tarped or tied down. Keep the load level and under the rim so it can be covered properly.
If you are unsure about an item, 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.
Davenport collects household trash in city carts, and the city says plainly that it does not collect business waste and will not take construction debris that does not fit inside a cart. That is why a project here needs a container.
Loads from Davenport go to the Scott Area Landfill at 11555 110th Avenue, Davenport, IA 52804, out along County Road Y-48 near Buffalo. It is open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, and it closes for holidays. Vehicles have to be unloaded and back out of the gate by closing time, so late loads do not get in.
The Waste Commission of Scott County runs the landfill as a public agency along with a recycling center, a household hazardous material facility, and an electronics recovery center, all in Davenport. It is funded by the fees it charges rather than by taxes, and it does not do collection or hauling itself.
Two details are worth flagging early. Waste generated elsewhere in Iowa, outside Scott County, is only accepted with prior approval, which matters for a job staged across a county line. And loads needing special handling, such as railroad ties or utility poles, have to arrive by mid-afternoon. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain the included tonnage and any extra charges before the container arrives.
11555 110th Avenue, Davenport, IA 52804
Open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Most Davenport orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Add a day or two if you need the city's obstruction permit.
Five things that make delivery day go well:
One scheduling quirk to plan around: in Davenport, a private hauler cannot collect within 500 feet of a residential zone before 7 a.m. Early swaps near homes are not an option, so build pickups into the working day.

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 Davenport runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, both based on a five-day rental. The material you load and the landfill's per-ton rate set the rest. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Once a job passes a load or two, renting is cheaper. Self-hauling means repeated trips out to County Road Y-48 inside the gate hours, a weighed charge and a minimum on every load, fuel, a tarp each time, and your weekend. One container covers the job and gets hauled once.
Yes, with room left over. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxed clutter. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so you fill the space well before the weight limit matters.
Iowa bans yard waste, lead acid batteries, waste tires, and used oil and oil filters from land disposal, so those stay out. So do hazardous waste, liquids, paint, pesticides, automotive fluids, and asbestos. Electronics such as computers and televisions have to go to the county's electronics recovery center instead.
Our 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. What goes in still decides the total. Dense material such as concrete, plaster, or tile can pass a small container's weight allowance quickly, so keeping heavy debris in its own load often works out cheaper.
A three-day rental usually costs what five days costs, because the price follows the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves the invoice far more than days do. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, then plan the fill around that figure.
Nearly all building and household debris is fine: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and clean shingles kept in their own load are charged a lower rate here. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
