At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Findlay, Ohio, and the surrounding Hancock County townships in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Flood-recovery work along the Blanchard River, remodeling in the older streets around downtown and Riverside Park, roof replacements through the post-war neighborhoods, and construction and plant projects out along the Tiffin Avenue and County Road 99 corridors all put containers to work here.
What you pay turns on the container size, the weight and type of your debris, how many days you keep it, and the per ton charge at the county landfill that receives the load. Below you will find our ranges, the two layers of approval a hauler needs in Findlay, what the landfill turns away, and where a Findlay load goes.

Findlay is one of the easier markets in Ohio to price honestly, because the county publishes exactly what it charges at the gate.
Weight is the first lever. Hancock County charges $41.75 per ton for municipal trash generated inside the county, with a $20 minimum covering the first 1,000 pounds and $1.50 per 100 pounds after that. Shingles, plaster and saturated carpet are the items that usually push a load past its allowance.
Covering the load is the second, and it is unusually direct here. Every load has to be covered or secured travelling to and from the landfill, and an uncovered load costs $25 at the gate. Loads are tarped as a matter of course, which is one less line on your bill.
Single items carry their own charges. The landfill adds $15 for each mattress, box spring and pull-out couch on top of the weight, so a rental clearing out bedrooms is worth describing accurately when you book.
Size is the last lever. Under-ordering costs more than over-ordering the moment a second haul is needed, so tell us what the job really is and let us size it for you.

Pick the size by volume, then check it against density. Prime Dumpster carries five.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for heavy material. Broken concrete, brick, soil or a tile floor reaches the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, one bathroom, or a tear-off over a single roof slope.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Findlay homeowners end up with. A kitchen plus flooring, a basement being refinished, or a whole-house cleanout all go in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the contractor's size for additions, gut renovations and new builds, where framing offcuts, packaging and drywall mount up day after day.
The 40-Yard Dumpster takes on commercial strip-outs, demolition and plant clearing, where the volume is large and the material is light.
Not sure which one fits? Describe the rooms and the material to your account manager and you will get one clear recommendation.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, Findlay requires no permit for a container. Keep it inside your own lines, off the sidewalk and clear of the hydrant.
The street is where it gets unusual. Findlay publishes no street-occupancy permit for a container at all. The city's excavation permit is written for opening the pavement to run water, gas, heating, sewer or drain lines, and it is issued by the Service-Safety Director. The sidewalk rules bar goods and merchandise from the walk and require you to lay protection before heavy material crosses the sidewalk or curb, which does apply to a delivery over a walk.
In practice that means there is no published form to fill in, so a street placement has to be agreed case by case. Call the Engineering Department at 419-424-7121. The office is at 318 Dorney Plaza, Room 304, open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your account manager will make that call with you and plan the drop around whatever the city says.
Protecting the pavement is worth doing whether or not anyone asks. Boards go under the rails on request, and on a sidewalk crossing that is the difference between a clean job and a repair bill.
Most building and household debris is fine. The real limits come from the county landfill, which publishes what it will and will not take.
Good news first: asphalt shingles, drywall and construction debris are all accepted, as are televisions of every type and size and household furniture. That is more generous than many Ohio sites.
The refusals are firm. No debris containing any type of asbestos is permitted. The landfill cannot accept agricultural tires of any type, brush, yard waste, infectious waste or hazardous materials. Hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents and wet oil-based paint stay out of any container as a matter of course.
Scrap tires have a statewide rule on top of that. Moving more than ten at once requires a registration from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, so a stack of old tires needs its own route and not a corner of your container.
Yard waste needs a different destination entirely, since the landfill will not take brush or clippings. Keep tree limbs and garden material out of the container and we will point you to the right drop-off.
If something on your site is not clearly on one side of that line, ask your account manager before it goes in. One refused item can hold up a whole load at the scale.
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.
Findlay loads travel a short distance south-east of town to the Hancock County Sanitary Landfill at 3763 CR 140, Findlay, OH 45840, which the Hancock County Board of Commissioners owns and runs as a public facility. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and the site number is 419-299-3638.
The county describes the site as permitted to receive municipal and industrial solid waste, which is why a mixed construction load from a Findlay remodel can go straight there rather than being sorted first. The scale charges by weight, so a container is weighed in and weighed out and you pay on the difference.
One Findlay detail is worth knowing. Where a city load ends up is set by resolution of the City Board of Health rather than chosen by the hauler, so the destination is a matter of record and not of convenience. Your account manager confirms it and the weight allowance for your container before the truck leaves the hauler's yard.
3763 CR 140, Findlay, OH 45840
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., run by the Hancock County Board of Commissioners.
Most Findlay rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days' notice gives you time to clear the drop spot and, if the container needs to be near the street, to talk to the city first.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Watch the landfill week as well. The county site closes at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and does not take arrivals on Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon is normally hauled on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Findlay and the surrounding Hancock County area, from the historic streets near Main Street and the Hancock County courthouse out through the Tiffin Avenue retail corridor, the industrial sites off County Road 99, and the townships toward Arcadia, Mount Blanchard and Van Buren. Flood-plain addresses along the Blanchard River are on our route too.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the debris, confirm the county gate charges that apply, and give you a firm number while you are on the phone.
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 Findlay rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day period. The county landfill charges by the ton, so the weight of your debris moves the final number more than anything else. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage before delivery.
A container wins as soon as a job runs past one or two pickup loads. Hauling it yourself means repeated trips out to County Road 140, a minimum charge every visit, fuel and most of a day. The container sits where the work is and leaves once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a chair, a dresser and several cartons. Worth noting for Findlay: a pull-out couch carries an extra single-item charge at the county landfill, so mention it when you book.
Keep out anything containing asbestos, agricultural tires, brush and yard waste, infectious waste, hazardous materials, liquids, fuel, solvents and wet oil-based paint. The county landfill refuses all of those. Televisions, furniture, shingles and drywall are accepted, which surprises people.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it stays cheapest depends on the material: light debris is fine, but heavy mixed loads in a small container can run into overage charges that cancel the saving. Dense material is better kept in its own haul.
Three days normally bills at the standard five-day rate, because the cost sits in the delivery, the disposal and the pickup rather than in the number of days. Weight is what moves the total. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, doors, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout junk are all accepted in Findlay. Clean concrete, brick and block go in too and are usually cheaper kept separate. Run anything unusual past your account manager before it is loaded.
