At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Federal Way, Washington, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards, from Twin Lakes and Dash Point down through the retail spine along Pacific Highway South to Lakeland and the Jovita edge. Federal Way is a big, young city of around a hundred thousand people, and its work splits between apartment and retail construction near the transit hub and a large stock of 1980s and 1990s houses now due roofs, decks and kitchens.
Price here is set by container size, the weight of the load, the rental length, and what it costs to put the material somewhere lawful. That last part is where King County differs from most of the country, and the sections below explain it along with our ranges and the practical questions worth settling before the truck rolls.

Three local things set a Federal Way quote apart from a generic one.
Destination is the first, and it is a rule rather than a preference. King County requires construction and demolition material from any jobsite in the county, Seattle excepted, to go to a facility the County has designated for that material, and the rule bites on mixed recycling loads as well as mixed waste loads. There is a $13 per ton county landfill waste fee in addition to whatever the site itself charges, set at that level on 1 January 2025. Enforcement starts at a $100 penalty and doubles on repeat.
Separation is the second, and it is the lever that works for you. The County says in terms that material managed or separated at the jobsite, naming wood, metal and wallboard, may go to other recyclers instead of a designated facility. A clean single-material container is cheaper to place and cheaper to empty.
Weight is the third. South King County roofs are often heavy composition over old shake, and decking around Twin Lakes tends to be wet and dense by the time it comes off. Your account manager prices the material and the routing together.

Start with the material and the driveway, because many Federal Way lots are generous at the front and much tighter at the side.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the container for dense loads: a concrete walk, patio pavers, rock or soil.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom strip-out, a garage clearing or a modest deck removal.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a roof tear-off or a multi-room remodel, and it still fits a two-car driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles a full house renovation or an apartment turn producing framing, carpet, cabinets and drywall together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is built for retail and commercial strip-outs where volume is the constraint rather than tonnage.
Describe the job and say what can be kept separate, and your account manager will size the container and plan its destination in one conversation.
On private property, a driveway, a parking lot or a fenced site, a container is a question of ground and access rather than paperwork. Firm, level footing is what matters, and plywood under the rails protects asphalt from point loading when a full container is pulled on.
For the public street or sidewalk the right-of-way belongs to the City, and the position needs clearing before the container arrives. Federal Way publishes its revised code through an outside host that would not serve us, so rather than describe a rule we have not read, we will settle it directly. Federal Way City Hall is at 33325 8th Avenue South and answers on 253-835-7000, and the City's environmental services manager takes solid waste questions on 253-835-2770. Your account manager makes that call as part of the booking, and in practice a driveway or lot position avoids it entirely.
One more thing worth knowing if you run a business here. The City contracts its garbage, recycling and yard waste collection, and tells businesses that its contract requires combined garbage and recycling service to cost less than garbage service alone. That is about your ongoing account rather than a project container, and the two are priced separately, which is exactly why a one-off job is usually better served by a container than by adding service to the account.
Ordinary construction and household debris is what these containers are for. The limits worth planning around split in two.
The universal ones first. Anything hazardous is kept out of standard containers, so no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos; tires need separate handling, and appliances and electronics should be named at booking.
Then the county sorting rule, which catches more people here than anywhere else. Corrugated cardboard, clean wood, scrap metal and yard waste are not accepted as garbage at King County's stations and have to be separated for recycling. On a deck or fence removal the clean wood is often most of the load, so it pays to plan it as its own container rather than discover it at the gate.
The County also charges for arriving with a load that is not secured. We handle that end, but it is the reason a container is sheeted before it moves. Your account manager will tell you which materials to keep apart.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
King County operates the public network in this corner of the county and says so in its own words, so the destination is never a guess.
The South County Recycling & Transfer Station at 35101 West Valley Hwy, Algona, WA is the nearest County site, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and at weekends from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., taking a vehicle and trailer combination up to 40 feet. It also runs a household hazardous waste drop-off for households and qualifying small businesses, shut every Wednesday.
North of that, the Bow Lake Recycling & Transfer Station at 18800 Orillia Rd S, Tukwila, WA is the one with the unusual opening: the station building runs 24 hours a day from Monday through Thursday, with Friday closing at 11:30 p.m. and weekend hours from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. That is the single most useful scheduling fact in south King County, and it is why a tight project timeline often routes north. The County takes waste enquiries on 206-477-4466.
Mixed construction and demolition loads are different again. Those must reach a site King County has designated, and every designated site on the County's published list is privately owned, so we route the load rather than handing you a public address. Material separated at the jobsite is released from that rule. Your account manager names the receiving site before delivery and re-checks it before the lift.
35101 West Valley Hwy, Algona, WA
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and weekends 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; takes a 40-foot vehicle and trailer combination.
18800 Orillia Rd S, Tukwila, WA
Station open 24 hours Monday to Thursday, Friday until 11:30 p.m., weekends 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Most Federal Way rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The county's overnight station gives this market more collection flexibility than most of the region.
Five things that keep a Federal Way job moving:
Autumn and winter rain is the other factor. A soaked lawn or a gravel pad will rut under a loaded container, so firm ground or boards keeps the collection on the day you booked it.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Federal Way, from Twin Lakes and Dash Point through the central business district and Steel Lake out to Lakeland, Jovita and the Milton edge, and we run the south King County corridor on the same schedule. Puyallup sits close enough that we work it on the same runs.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material, tell you which station or designated site the load is going to, and clear any street position with the City first.
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 runs $399 to $499, a 40-yard $699 to $899, each across a five day period. In this county the destination charge moves the total as much as weight does, because construction loads are routed by rule. Your account manager puts the tonnage allowance and the overage rate on the Federal Way quote.
Past a pickup load, no. Self hauling here means repeat trips, a charge each visit, a vehicle inside the length limit, and the sorting rules applied when you arrive. One container folds the sorting, the routing and the hauling into a single price.
Yes, easily. A three seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and a pile of cartons. Upholstered furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you run out of room before tonnage.
Nothing hazardous at all: no liquids, no paint, no solvents, no fuel and no asbestos, with tires dealt with apart. In King County, keep corrugated cardboard, clean wood, scrap metal and yard waste out of a mixed load too, since the county stations refuse them as garbage.
The 10-yard comes in at $399 to $499. For concrete, pavers, rock or soil it is the correct choice as well as the lowest priced, because dense material reaches its weight allowance while most of the container is still empty.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since the price is built around delivery, collection and disposal rather than nights on site. The contents drive the total. Ask your account manager what tonnage the quote includes and what each extra ton costs.
Framing, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture and cardboard all go in, along with the usual run of apartment turnover material. Clean concrete and rock are welcome, and rubble travelling alone is usually cheaper to tip. Name anything out of the ordinary when you book.
