At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Delaware, Ohio, and the surrounding Delaware County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Fast residential construction on the south and west sides, renovation work in the historic blocks near Ohio Wesleyan, and commercial building along US 23 keep roll-off containers in steady use here.
What you pay turns on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long the container stays, and the disposal fees where the load lands. Below you will find our price ranges, how the City handles containers in the public right-of-way, and what you can and cannot load.

A few things decide what a container costs in Delaware, and none of them is hidden.
Size leads. Going one size larger usually costs less than paying overage charges, and far less than sending a second truck to the same address later in the week.
Weight is next. Older homes around the downtown give up plaster, brick, and dimensional lumber, all of it heavy. A small container packed with masonry can reach its weight allowance while it still looks half empty.
Disposal is third. Construction debris from in and around town goes to the county transfer and recycling center on US 42 North, and that site sets its own charge, so it is worth asking before the container is delivered.
Where it sits matters too. A container in your driveway is simple. One that has to occupy a street or tree lawn goes through the City's right-of-way permitting, which takes a little planning.

Work out the volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and fits on a short driveway or a tight city lot. It handles a bathroom remodel, a shed teardown, or a basement cleanout, and it is the right pick for concrete, brick, and soil.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size work, such as a garage cleanout, old flooring and underlay, or a small roof tear-off. It gives you more room without much more footprint.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick for a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel. Most mixed household and renovation debris fits in a single load.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new home construction, large renovations, and commercial fit-outs where several trades are working at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is built for demolition, industrial cleanouts, and the high-volume light waste that comes off a big build.
Caught between two sizes? Talk the job through with your account manager and they will pick the one that fits.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, Delaware does not require a permit for a container. The City's waste rules are about carts, dumpsters, and the curbside service it provides, not about containers on private ground.
The public right-of-way is different. The City requires a right-of-way permit for work in the public way, and applications go through its online permitting portal rather than over the counter. The City also updated its right-of-way permitting and fees at the start of 2026, so the current terms are worth confirming rather than assuming. You can find the application route on the City's licenses, permits and forms page.
There is a separate rule you will see at the curb. Carts and containers used for the City's own collection service cannot sit in the public right-of-way for more than 24 hours before or after they are serviced. That one is written around the City's refuse service, not around a project container, but it tells you how the City thinks about the tree lawn.
Hauling itself is not licensed by the City. Its ordinances simply require private collectors to meet the licensing rules in Ohio state law, and that is handled on our side.
For questions about an address, call Delaware Public Works at 740-203-1810. Your account manager will help you work out whether your drop spot counts as right-of-way and will tell you what the City says.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
Most construction and cleanout debris loads without trouble. Ohio publishes no statewide list of banned building materials, so the limits come from state disposal law and from the receiving facility.
State law is about where waste ends up rather than what it is made of: everything has to go to an appropriately licensed disposal site, and the City's own ordinance repeats that in plain terms. Open dumping and burning are out.
The City's disposal guidance is the practical list. Keep batteries of every kind out of a container, because they start fires at the facility. Tires, appliances holding refrigerant, and electronics all need their own route. Automotive fluids, solvents, pesticides, and pool chemicals go to a household hazardous waste appointment rather than into a load.
Latex paint is the one exception people are surprised by. The City allows it once it is fully dried out with the lids off, but oil-based paint and thinners still have to go to a hazardous waste drop-off.
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.
Construction and demolition debris from Delaware goes to the county transfer and recycling center at 892 US Route 42 North, Delaware, OH 43015, a few minutes north of the downtown. The City's own guidance sends concrete and masonry block, gravel, drywall, flooring, lumber, sheathing, shingles, insulation, pallets, stone, and asphalt there, and asks you to call ahead about fees.
The site is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. It is privately operated, with the Delaware Public Health District inspecting it on behalf of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Household hazardous waste and electronics are handled separately, by appointment from April through September, through the Delaware, Knox, Marion, Morrow Solid Waste District on 419-751-2290. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and what it will cost before delivery.
Most rentals in Delaware can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice gives you room to clear the drop spot and sort a right-of-way permit if you need one, and it often improves the price.
Five things that keep delivery day simple:
Keep the facility schedule in mind too. The transfer and recycling center closes at noon on Saturdays and is shut on Sundays, so a container filled over a weekend may not be emptied until Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Delaware and the surrounding Delaware County communities, from the historic downtown and the Ohio Wesleyan campus area to Glenross, Communities at Sunbury Mills, and the newer subdivisions along US 23, US 42, and State Route 37. Whether the job is a single-room remodel or a new build, we arrange delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm where the debris is going, and give you a firm number on the call.
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 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your final price also reflects the weight of the load and the charge at the receiving facility. Your account manager will confirm your included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Renting wins on most projects. Self-hauling means paying at the gate on every trip, plus fuel, a suitable truck, and your own hours, and the facility closes at noon on Saturday. One container covers the whole job and leaves on a single pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. With bulky furniture you run out of floor space long before the weight limit becomes an issue.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, oil-based paint, pesticides, and asbestos. Batteries of every type have to stay out because of the fire risk, and tires, electronics, and appliances holding refrigerant need their own route. Flag anything unusual to your account manager first.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the total. Concrete, brick, and plaster from an older Delaware house are dense, so keeping heavy material in its own load is usually cheaper than mixing it with light debris.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is set by the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves the bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container arrives.
Everyday construction and cleanout debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, sheathing, shingles, flooring, carpet, insulation, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, block, stone, and asphalt are accepted too. If an item is borderline, check with your account manager before you load it.
