At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Frankfort, Kentucky, and the surrounding Franklin County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes in the South Frankfort and Bellepoint neighborhoods getting reworked, state office and campus turnovers, and steady construction out along the Versailles Road and US 127 corridors all keep containers moving here for homeowners and contractors.
Frankfort is one of the easiest cities in the region to rent a container in, because the rules point you straight at one. Below you will find our price ranges, the city's own dumpster permit, what the city will not take, and where a Frankfort load ends up.

Three things move a Frankfort quote, and the local paperwork is cheap enough that it rarely moves it at all.
Size leads. A larger container costs more at the start and still beats paying for a second haul when the first one fills with the job half done.
Weight does more work than people expect. Shingles, brick, plaster, and broken concrete are dense, so a small container loaded with them reaches its tonnage while it still looks half empty.
Disposal is the third. Loads from the city go to the permitted landfill out on KY 151, and the gate charges by weight. Your account manager prices the haul and the gate together so the number on the call is the number you pay.
The city rule is refreshingly simple. Frankfort's code says construction debris cannot go in a city container or a city bag at all, and that disposing of it needs a container provided and collected by a private company. A container on your own driveway needs nothing extra. One in a city street needs a $25 permit from Public Works.

Volume and density between them settle the question. We rent five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the entry size. One bathroom, a porch tear-off, or a closet-and-attic clearing fits in it, and it is also where dense rubble belongs, since brick and block reach the tonnage long before the walls fill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a room stripped to the studs, a small roof tear-off, or plaster and old flooring pulled from a couple of rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is what most Frankfort houses end up with. It swallows a whole-house clearing, a kitchen and bath done together, or a flooded basement stripped out.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a gut renovation, or a new build, where a crew needs room to keep loading through the week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the top of the range. Commercial strip-outs, demolition, and light industrial clearing suit it, because those jobs run out of space long before they run out of tonnage.
Torn between two? Give your account manager the details of the job and let them call it.
On private property, your driveway or a pad inside the property line, no city permit is needed for the container.
If any part of it sits in a city right-of-way, Frankfort requires a permit, and the city publishes one by that exact name. The Dumpster / POD Permit costs $25 and the application goes to the Public Works office. You can pay by cash, check, or card at the office, and the city will take a card payment over the phone.
The code backs it up with the same answer: a permit from the Public Works Director is required if the container is going in a public right-of-way.
One related rule is easy to miss. Dumping dirt or other material that will not burn, anywhere in the city on public or private ground, needs the City Engineer's written permission first. If your job produces a pile of soil rather than debris, flag it early.
Public Works is at 315 W Second Street and can be reached at 502-352-2088, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you are not sure whether your drop spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you check and get you to the right person.
Most construction and cleanout debris is exactly what a container here is for, since the city will not take it any other way. The limits come from the city's own rules and from what the landfill accepts.
Kentucky does not publish a statewide list of banned materials the way some states do. What the state and the city do is fix the destination: disposing of waste anywhere inside Frankfort other than at a licensed and permitted landfill or transfer station is prohibited. Burying debris on a job site is not an option.
Nothing hazardous belongs in a standard container: no liquids, no wet paint, no solvents, no fuel. The city makes the paint point directly, asking that leftovers be solidified with sand, dirt, or cat litter rather than poured off. Dead animals and petroleum products are barred from waste containers outright.
Electronics have their own route and should come out of the load. Tires, appliances, and shingles are all treated as awkward material locally, so mention them when you book.
Loads also have to be tarped on the way to the landfill, so nothing should be mounded above the rails. If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Debris from Frankfort goes to the permitted contained landfill at 2157 KY 151, just off Exit 48 of I-64 south of town. Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet lists it as a permitted contained landfill, and it is privately operated, so the gate price is set there rather than by any public schedule.
Electronics take a different and cheaper path. The City of Frankfort runs a Recycle Center at 309 Rouse Avenue that takes computers, monitors, televisions, printers, phones, and batteries free of charge from county residents, non-profits, and local businesses. It is open Mondays from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and the city asks you to call 502-352-2088 first to make sure staff are on hand. Hard drives can be drilled on request.
There is one thing worth knowing about the free county landfill vouchers: contractors are not eligible for them, and heavy construction debris, shingles, concrete, tires, and appliances are excluded in any case. A container is the practical route for anything bigger than a pickup load. Your account manager will confirm the destination and what the gate adds before delivery.

City-run electronics drop-off, open Mondays 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; call ahead.
Most Frankfort orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A day or two of lead time helps, mostly so a street permit is in hand before the truck arrives.
Five habits that keep a delivery smooth:
Plan the end of the job as well as the start. Telling your account manager your finish date gets the pickup on the schedule sooner.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster coordinates dumpster rentals throughout Frankfort and the surrounding parts of Franklin County, from downtown and South Frankfort to Bellepoint, Thornhill, Farmdale, and the subdivisions out along Versailles Road and US 127. We arrange delivery, pickup, and the run to the landfill around your schedule, and we walk you through the city permit when a drop has to sit in the street.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the work, point you at the city permit if your spot needs one, and give you a clear 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.
Figure on $399 to $499 at the 10-yard end and $699 to $899 at the 40-yard end for a five-day rental. The spread in between tracks size, load weight and the landfill rate. Included tonnage and the overage rate get confirmed by your account manager at booking.
For anything past a load or two, the container wins. The county's free landfill passes are closed to contractors and exclude shingles, concrete, tires, and appliances, so self-hauling means paying the gate on every trip plus fuel and your own hours.
Comfortably. One three-seat couch occupies something like a fifth of a 10-yard container, so a mattress, a dresser and several boxes can go in beside it. Furniture fills the space long before it troubles the tonnage.
Nothing hazardous, no liquids, no wet paint, no solvents and no fuel. Frankfort also bars dead animals and petroleum products from waste containers, and wants leftover paint solidified first. Electronics have a free city drop-off, so pull those out and flag tires and appliances at booking.
Lowest entry price goes to the 10-yard, at $399 to $499. After that it is all weight. Plaster, brick and broken slab eat the included tonnage quickly, so splitting the heavy material into its own load often beats cramming one container.
A three-day hold is normally billed the same as five, since the price follows the job and not the calendar. Tonnage is what shifts the total. Get the included weight and the per-ton overage confirmed before the container arrives.
Almost all household and job-site material qualifies: lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, carpet, cabinets, windows, doors and ordinary cleanout junk. Clean brick, block and concrete are welcome as well and are cheaper kept separate. Soil is its own conversation, so raise it first.
