At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Denton, Texas, and the wider Denton County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Two universities, new construction pushing out toward Rayzor Ranch and Robson Ranch, and a steady run of renovations in the older Oak-Hickory streets near the square keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and general contractors here.
Four things set your final number: how big a container you need, what you're loading into it, how many days it stays, and what the city landfill charges to take the load. Below you'll find our price ranges, how Denton handles containers in the street, and what the gate will refuse.

A Denton quote is built from the container, the load, and the scale at the end of the trip.
Container size is the starting point. Going one size up costs a bit more at the front end but beats paying for a second haul, which is the usual outcome when a 10-yard gets booked for a whole-house job.
Debris weight does most of the rest. Roof shingles, tile, mortar, and broken slab are heavy enough to use up your included tonnage while the container still has daylight at the top. Tell us what the pile is made of and we'll size it correctly the first time.
Disposal costs ride on top of all of it. Loads from Denton go to the city's own landfill on South Mayhill Road, and the city sets what happens at the scale, including a $120 fee for any truck leaving after closing time.
A couple of city rules can nudge the total. Every load arriving at the gate has to be tarped or tied down, and an unsecured one draws a $25 charge the first time and $30 after that. Denton also keeps remodeling debris out of its curbside bulky pickup, which is why a container is the practical route for a renovation.

Match the size to the volume you expect, then check it against the weight. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes, 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-load container. Pour a torn-out patio, a pile of brick, or a bathroom down to the studs into it and you'll reach the weight limit with plenty of room left over.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the jobs in between: emptying a two-car garage, pulling carpet and tile from a few rooms, or a single-layer tear-off on a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Denton households pick. A full cleanout, or a kitchen and a bath going at once, fits without taking over the whole driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new builds, and gut jobs. Framing offcuts, drywall, old cabinets, and insulation all go in together, which saves sorting time on site.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial fit-outs, warehouse cleanouts, and demolition that makes a lot of bulk rather than a lot of weight are where it earns its keep.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and let them make the call.
Set the container on your own property, a driveway or a job site you control, and Denton generally asks nothing of you. Put any part of it in a public street, alley, or sidewalk and you are in the city right-of-way, where a permit applies.
Denton does not publish a dumpster-only permit. Occupying the right-of-way runs through the City of Denton Public Works Inspections Division, which takes applications online and reviews traffic control against the state's traffic control manual before it issues anything.
Two details catch people out. Anyone who works in the right-of-way has to be registered with the division before applying, and that review can take up to 30 business days. Permits also carry an expiration date, with extensions requested at least five business days ahead.
For a straight answer about your block, call Public Works Inspections at 940-349-8910. Your account manager can also help you work out whether your spot is city right-of-way, a state road, or private pavement before the truck is scheduled.
Denton is worth one extra call for another reason. The city supplies container service for businesses itself and requires every building to keep weekly city collection, so your account manager will check how that rule touches your address before anything is booked.
Ordinary building and household debris is fine. The limits come from statewide rules and from what the city gate will take.
Texas keeps nine categories of waste out of any municipal solid waste facility. The ones that come up on real jobs are liquid waste, regulated hazardous waste, lead-acid batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, and anything with PCBs or radioactive material. Scrap tires are a separate case: the state allows them in a permitted landfill only after they have been split, quartered, or shredded.
Fridges, freezers, and air conditioners need their refrigerant removed by a licensed technician before disposal, so they travel separately rather than in the container.
The Denton weigh station also refuses all liquids, paint that is not fully dry, batteries, and tires outright. Televisions, computers, and other electronics are recycled at the landfill site instead, with a handling fee on anything that has a screen.
Unsure about one odd item? Run it past your account manager before it goes in.

Most containers pulled from a Denton job are weighed and emptied at the City of Denton Landfill, a city-run site at 1527 S. Mayhill Road, Denton, TX 76208. It is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Sundays, with shortened hours on several holidays through the year.
The gate is strict in ways that matter to your schedule. The last entry without the after-hours charge is 3:45 p.m., the weigh station takes cards and tap-to-pay but no cash, and every load has to arrive covered. Household chemicals, appliances, and electronics are handled at the same Mayhill Road site rather than at the curb.
Because the city both sets the rates and runs the scale, pricing comes from one place rather than from a chain of middlemen. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and walk you through the tonnage included in your rate before delivery day.

City-run landfill, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Sundays. Last entry without the after-hours charge is 3:45 p.m.
Most Denton rentals can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier buys you room to settle placement questions, and it usually prices better too.
Five things make delivery day go smoothly:
Keep the gate schedule in mind as well. The landfill is closed on Sundays and runs half days on several holidays, so a container filled late Saturday may wait until Monday to move.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the container, check the placement rules for your address, 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.
Denton rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. What you load and what the city landfill charges by weight move the total from there. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything past a pickup load or two, renting wins. Every trip to the city landfill is weighed and paid for at the gate, loads have to be covered, and the site closes at 4 p.m. Add fuel and your own hours, and one container usually beats five round trips.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a mattress, a table, and a few boxes of household goods. Furniture fills space rather than adding weight, so volume runs out first.
Leave out liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, used motor oil and filters, lead-acid batteries, tires, asbestos, and anything hazardous or radioactive. Appliances holding refrigerant need that removed first. Electronics go to the landfill's recycling area instead. Mention any of these when you call and we'll sort the route.
Our 10-yard sits at the bottom of the range, $399 to $499. Price alone is not the whole story, though. Load it with mortar, tile, or slab and you can pass the included weight fast, which adds overage. Dense rubble in its own container is usually the cheaper path.
Three days typically costs what five days costs, because the rate covers the delivery, the haul, and the disposal rather than the calendar. Finished weight is what really moves your invoice. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Nearly all of a Denton remodel is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well, and keeping them separate often lowers the disposal cost. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
