At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Gahanna, Ohio, and the surrounding northeast Franklin County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Gahanna's mid-century neighborhoods are turning over fast, so kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, deck replacement and construction work along Hamilton Road and the Creekside district all need containers.
Your price depends on four inputs: the size you order, how heavy the load is, how long the container stays, and what the receiving facility charges per ton. The sections below set out those ranges, the City permit that names dumpsters directly, a central Ohio disposal change you need to know about, and how quickly delivery can be arranged.

Central Ohio publishes its disposal pricing, which makes a Gahanna quote easier to pin down than most.
Container size comes first. A larger container costs more up front and still beats a second trip when the first one is full on day two.
Weight is second. Shingles, plaster, block and poured concrete are all dense enough to use the weight allowance while the container still has space above the rail.
The destination is third, and this is the number people want. Direct hauling to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill costs $39.75 per ton for waste generated inside the district, and the same rate applies to construction and demolition debris. There is also a $25 charge for an untarped load, which is why every container leaves covered.
Fourth, where the load can go has changed. Since late September 2025 the county authority has treated construction and demolition debris as a separate stream from household trash, and that debris can no longer be dropped at either county transfer station. It has to go straight to the landfill. That added mileage is part of what you are paying for on a construction job, and your account manager will explain how it affects your quote.

Start from volume, then check the answer against weight. Prime Dumpster carries sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for a bathroom, a small concrete removal or a single-room project. Dense material belongs here, because weight finishes the load before the space runs out.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or basement clearing, carpet and underlay removal, or one roof slope on a ranch.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual answer in Gahanna for a full-house cleanout or a remodel covering a kitchen, a bath and a hallway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits an addition, a gut renovation or new construction, where framing scrap and packaging take up volume fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry and suits commercial fit-outs, industrial clearing and large demolition.

On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Gahanna requires no container permit.
In the public right of way it does, and unusually it says so in those words. The City's right-of-way regulations state that all dumpsters or containers placed within the public right of way must obtain a right-of-way permit, and that the rule does not apply to the ordinary trash and recycling carts residents put at the curb. Few cities put it that plainly.
Requests go through the Department of Engineering on forms the Director of Engineering approves, submitted through the City's online portal, and no work may begin until the permit has been issued. A permit runs for a maximum of six months. If a lane or a whole street has to close, the City wants ten business days of notice so it can tell police, fire and the schools, and that notice sits on top of the review time. A residential or business right-of-way permit carries a flat review and inspection fee with three inspection visits included.
The Director of Engineering answers on 614-342-4052, and Gahanna City Hall at 825 Tech Center Drive answers on 614-342-4000. Your account manager will confirm whether your spot is inside the right of way and help you line up the permit before delivery.
Most building and household debris is accepted. The limits come from the receiving landfill and from Ohio's own rules.
The Franklin County landfill does not take yard waste, liquids or anything hazardous. Ohio bans whole tires from landfill by name, so tires have to be recycled instead, and state law keeps lead acid batteries out of landfill disposal as well.
There is also a commingling rule worth knowing before you load a demolition job. Ohio treats clean hard fill as a narrow category, covering only concrete, asphalt concrete, brick, block, tile and stone. Once other waste is mixed in with clean hard fill, all of the material has to be handled and disposed of as solid waste or as construction and demolition debris. That is the clearest argument there is for a second container: one for clean masonry, one for everything else.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos never belong in a standard container, and asbestos needs licensed abatement before demolition starts. The City also keeps freon appliances, car and motorcycle batteries, used motor oil, oil-based paint, tires, yard waste, explosives and radioactive material out of its own collection, and points residents to the county authority's free hazardous waste drop-off on East 8th Avenue in Columbus.
If an item is borderline, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Nearly every container load from Gahanna ends up at the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill, 3851 London Groveport Road in Grove City. It is run by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio, the public county district, and it opens Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 6 a.m. to noon.
Since the authority separated construction and demolition debris from household trash in late September 2025, that landfill is the only county site a construction load can go to. The Morse Road Transfer Station, which shares a zip code with Gahanna at 4262 Morse Road, can no longer take construction debris at all, and in any case the authority does not permit residents to use its transfer stations, limiting them to the City of Columbus and to commercial haulers holding a credit agreement.
A few landfill rules reach the customer. Every truck and trailer load must be fully tarped before entering, and an untarped load is charged extra. Anyone unloading by hand at the working face has to check in half an hour before closing, which is 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Safety vests are required for anyone who leaves the vehicle.
Your account manager confirms the receiving site, the tonnage included in your quote and the overage rate before your container is delivered.
3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123
Run by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio, open weekdays 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon.
4262 Morse Road, Columbus, OH 43230
Open weekdays 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. for haulers on a county credit agreement; no construction debris and no residents.
Most Gahanna rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of lead time usually improves the price, and it is essential if you need a right-of-way permit.
Five things keep a drop on schedule:
Keep the landfill calendar in mind too. It closes at noon on Saturday and does not open Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon waits until Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Gahanna, from Creekside and Olde Gahanna out along Hamilton Road and Morse Road to the New Albany, Blacklick and Mifflin Township lines, and the wider northeast Franklin County area. We plan delivery, pickup and disposal around your project schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the debris, confirm where it is headed, and quote the job while you are on the line.
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 container in Gahanna runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the county landfill's per-ton charge move the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
A container is cheaper for anything past a trailer load. The county transfer stations are closed to residents, construction debris must now go straight to the landfill, and you pay by the ton and unload yourself. One container handles the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch occupies roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and bagged material. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so the space runs out long before the limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos. Ohio bars whole tires from landfill and keeps lead acid batteries out of disposal. Yard waste is not accepted at the landfill either, so set it aside and mention it when you book.
The 10-yard container is our lowest priced option at $399 to $499. Weight still decides your invoice. Concrete, block and layered shingles can take a small container past its allowance, so heavy demolition material usually costs less in its own dedicated load.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because we price the job rather than the days. Tonnage drives the total far more than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what each extra ton costs.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, trim, doors, furniture and general cleanout material are all allowed. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted and cheapest in a dedicated load. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
