At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the surrounding Broward County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Condo and hotel renovations along the beach, older block homes being gutted in Riverland and Melrose Park, marine and warehouse work near the port, and steady new construction downtown keep containers moving all year.
Your price depends on the size you pick, the weight of the debris, how long the container stays, and the fees at the county landfill that receives it. Below you will find our price ranges, where Fort Lauderdale lets a container sit, a city fee that catches people out at permit time, and what the landfill will not take.

A few local things decide where your quote lands, and one of them is a city fee most people have never heard of.
Size comes first. Moving up a size costs less than paying overage charges or ordering a second container halfway through a tear-out.
Debris type is next. Barrel tile, flat concrete tile and old built-up roofing are heavy, and South Florida roofs produce a lot of both. Concrete, block and stucco add up just as fast. Mixed interior debris is much lighter per yard.
Then there is the trip to the landfill. The county's Class III landfill sits out at the western edge of Broward, roughly 25 miles from the center of Fort Lauderdale, so haul time is a real cost here in a way it is not in a smaller market.
Finally, the city collects a roofing and demolition debris hauling fee at the counter. If your job needs a roofing or demolition permit, Fort Lauderdale works out an estimated volume of debris from the size of the roof or the structure and charges $1.10 per cubic yard on top of the permit. That is separate from what you pay us, and it is due when you apply. Your account manager can walk you through how the two fit together.

Pick for volume, then sanity check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we offer and the one to ask about for tile, block and concrete. Dense South Florida debris hits the weight allowance long before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or condo cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof. It is a good middle choice when a 10-yard looks tight but a 20 looks wasteful.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common pick for houses here. A full interior gut, a kitchen and two baths at once, or a storm cleanup all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house renovation, an addition, or a commercial build-out. It is the right size when debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is meant for demolition, hotel and restaurant renovations, and industrial cleanouts near the port.
Tell your account manager what the job is and roughly how much of it is heavy, and they will size it for you.
A container on private property, such as your driveway, parking lot or job site, needs no separate placement permit from Fort Lauderdale. That is how nearly every rental here is set up.
The street is a different matter, and the answer is firm. City land development rules make it unlawful to place a container serving private property in any street, alley or public right-of-way, apart from the brief moment needed for a pickup, after which it has to go back. There is no permit that buys you a week in the swale, so plan for a spot entirely on your own property.
Two other city rules are worth knowing. Any container bigger than one cubic yard counts as a bulk container, so a roll-off is covered by these rules. And screening is required at apartment and condo properties of three or more units and at business and industrial sites that use bulk containers, though not where the container cannot be seen from off the property.
The city also expects a construction site to have a container at all times and to keep loose debris cleared within a day. For questions about placement or about the roofing and demolition debris hauling fee, call the City of Fort Lauderdale at 954-828-8000. If you are unsure where your property line stops, your account manager can help you reach the right office before delivery.
Ordinary house and jobsite debris is welcome. The limits come from the Broward County Landfill and from city rules about what may be hauled.
The county landfill takes bulk waste, yard trash and construction and demolition debris, and nothing else. It refuses household garbage, hazardous waste, biomedical waste, lead-acid batteries, used oil, and anything containing PCBs. It also accepts only material generated inside Broward County, so a load brought over from Miami-Dade or Palm Beach will be turned away.
That keeps the usual items out of your container: paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, propane tanks, car batteries, motor oil, and anything wet. Asbestos never belongs in a general debris load, which matters on older Fort Lauderdale houses.
The city also bars bricks, concrete, lumber, dirt, plaster, sand and gravel from curbside collection, and requires every load leaving a site to be tarped and tied down so nothing blows out on the way.
If you are unsure whether an item belongs in the container, ask your account manager first. One wrong item can hold up a whole load at the gate.
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.
Most construction debris from Fort Lauderdale is hauled to the Broward County Landfill, operated by Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Services at 7101 SW 205th Avenue in unincorporated Broward County, 33332. It is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and its customer service line is 954-765-4999.
It is a Class III site, which is the type built for bulk waste, yard trash and construction and demolition debris rather than household garbage. Because it only accepts material generated inside Broward County, your hauler has to be able to show where the load came from.
Broward County also runs residential drop-off centers, but those take bulk and yard waste, household hazardous waste and electronics only, from residents of participating cities, and only on Saturday mornings. They are not an option for remodel debris, which is why a container is usually the simpler route.
City rules add one more layer: waste generated in Fort Lauderdale has to go to a city-approved destination under the county agreements in place. Your account manager will confirm the receiving facility for your load and explain its fees before delivery.
7101 SW 205th Avenue, Unincorporated Broward County, FL 33332
Open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., for Broward County construction and demolition debris.
Most Fort Lauderdale rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead helps more here than in most markets, because the landfill run is long and the morning routes fill up early. Early booking can also save you money.
A few things that keep delivery on track:
Keep the landfill week in mind too. The county landfill is closed on Sundays, so a container filled late Saturday will usually be hauled the following week.

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.
Fort Lauderdale rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the county landfill's fees move the final figure, and roofing or demolition jobs also carry a city debris hauling fee at permit time. Your account manager confirms everything before you book.
In Broward, renting usually wins by a wide margin. The county landfill is out near the Everglades, so every self-haul trip is a long round trip plus a charge at the gate. A single container holds what several pickup loads would, and your time stays on the job instead of on I-75.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will fill the space long before you reach the weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, propane tanks, used oil, car batteries and asbestos. The county landfill also refuses household garbage, biomedical waste and anything containing PCBs. Tires, appliances and electronics need separate handling, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight is what changes the bill, though. Roof tile, concrete and stucco can pass the included tonnage while the container still looks half empty. Ask your account manager whether splitting heavy material into its own load works out cheaper.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job rather than the calendar. Tonnage matters far more than days. Check the included weight and the rate for each extra ton with your account manager before your container is delivered.
Most home and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, tile, flooring, cabinets, windows, furniture, carpet and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete and block are accepted too, and keeping them separate usually costs less. When an item seems borderline, check with your account manager first.
