At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Garden City, New York, and the surrounding central Nassau County villages in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The housing stock is largely pre-war and tightly spaced, so gut kitchen and bath renovations, slate and shingle roof work, dormer additions and office fit-out construction along Stewart and Franklin Avenues all need containers.
Your price reflects the container size, the weight of the debris, the length of the rental, and the disposal charges at the facility that takes the load. Below you will find those ranges, the Village permit written specifically about roll-off containers, what New York State asks of the truck, what cannot go in, and our delivery timing.

In Garden City one cost sits outside our quote entirely, and it is big enough to plan around.
Container size is the first lever, as everywhere. Order once, correctly, and the job is cheaper.
Debris weight is the second. Slate, plaster, terra cotta and masonry from a pre-war house are much heavier than the same volume of modern framing and drywall, so weight limits arrive sooner here than builders expect.
The third is the Village permit, and this is the local one. If the container has to stand in a Village street, the Village charges for the privilege by the week or by the month, and a commercial job pays double the residential rate. Those are Village charges rather than ours, and the only reliable way to avoid them is to find space on the property.
The fourth is the destination. Nassau County has no landfill of its own, so a load leaves the island, and a mixed container costs more to handle than a clean one. Your account manager will price the options with you.

Pick on volume, then confirm the choice against weight. Prime Dumpster carries sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom, a walkway or step removal, or a single room of plaster. Dense material belongs here, because the weight allowance ends the load first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers an attic or garage clearing, old flooring and padding, or part of a roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual Garden City answer for a kitchen and bath renovation running together, or a full house cleanout before a sale.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a gut renovation, a dormer or rear addition, or a commercial fit-out, where light bulky material fills volume quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we offer and suits office demolition, institutional clearing and large construction projects.

A container on private property, in a driveway or inside the job site, needs no Village permit. Lots here are deep, so that is often possible even on a narrow street.
For a street placement, Garden City has an entire set of rules written about this kind of container by name, and it is the most detailed of any village in the area. No one may place a roll-off container on any Village street without first obtaining a permit, and the Village publishes the application form for it, asking for the business name and contact, the section, block and lot, whether the property is residential or commercial, whether the permit is by the week or by thirty days, and a site drawing attached to the form.
The conditions are specific. The street has to be at least thirty feet wide from curb to curb. The container must sit parallel to the curb with its street side no more than eight feet six inches from the curb. It must carry a permanent installation of at least sixteen square feet of diagonal reflective striping at each end facing oncoming traffic, together with the owner's name, address and telephone number in letters at least two inches high. It may not block any part of the sidewalk. A certificate of insurance running to the Village has to come with the application. A permit lasts thirty days and a written application is needed to extend it another thirty. The permit has to be posted on the job site, the container has to be emptied once the contents reach its waterline, and the permit holder is responsible for repairing any damage to the street, sidewalk or curb.
The Director of Public Works may also refuse a permit outright where a location would be a nuisance or a hazard because of contour, narrow width or traffic.
The fee schedule is published and current. A residential street container costs $150 per week or $400 per thirty days, and a commercial one costs $300 per week or $800 per thirty days, with portable storage units restricted to parking lots. Public Works at 2 Cherry Valley Avenue answers on 516-465-4003 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. Your account manager will tell you what a driveway placement saves you before you commit.
Most building and household debris is fine. The limits here come from New York State's transporter rules and from what the Village refuses outright.
New York State requires anyone transporting regulated waste in the state to hold one of three authorizations, and the Department of Environmental Conservation places construction and demolition debris, including all categories of fill material, and commercial solid waste in the transporter registration category. Two materials sit in the heavier permit category instead: waste tires and asbestos. That means neither can simply ride along in a general construction container, and both need their own arrangement. Construction and demolition loads also travel with a waste tracking document, and the registration requires that waste be delivered only to receiving facilities authorized to accept it.
The Village is equally clear about what it will not handle. It does not collect waste from building construction, alterations or repairs where a contractor did the work, and it states that contractors are responsible for removing and disposing of their own material. It does not collect concrete or tires at all. Landscapers are likewise responsible for their own material.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents and fuel never belong in a container. The Village sends residents to the Town of Hempstead program on 516-378-4210 for oil and chemical drums, cartridges, explosives, chemicals, paints and gasoline, and the Village's own rules forbid putting any explosive or highly volatile liquid, cartridge, shell, ammunition or gunpowder out for collection.
Ask your account manager about asbestos, tires or anything unusual before it goes near the container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Nassau County has no landfill, so nothing from Garden City is buried locally. Loads are taken to a transfer or processing facility authorized to accept them and move on from there, and under the state registration rules we can only deliver to a facility that holds the right authorization for your material.
The Village runs a transfer operation of its own at its Public Works yard at 2 Cherry Valley Avenue, and it is worth being clear about what that is. It handles the Village's own curbside collection. It is a department yard rather than a public drop-off, and the Village does not offer it as a place to take contractor debris, so it is not somewhere to drive a trailer load.
There is one Village threshold that often decides the question for a commercial customer. The Village treats more than one container of one and a half cubic yards a week, or more than ten thirty-gallon containers or bags, as an excess accumulation of waste for a commercial establishment, and the Board of Trustees may set special removal charges for it. Unpaid charges can be added to the Village tax roll with an administrative charge on top. For any project that produces more than that in a week, a roll-off container handles the volume in one movement instead.
Your account manager confirms the receiving facility, the tonnage included in your price and the overage rate before your container arrives.
Most Garden City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Allow longer if the container has to go in the street, because the Village permit needs an application, insurance and a site drawing.
Five things keep a Nassau County delivery on track:
If a street placement is unavoidable, start the Village paperwork before you book the trades. Thirty days is the permit term, and an extension needs a written application rather than a phone call.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole Village of Garden City, from the blocks around the Long Island Rail Road stations and the Seventh Street shops out to the Mineola, Hempstead, Stewart Manor and West Hempstead boundaries, and the wider central Nassau County area. We plan delivery, pickup and disposal around your renovation schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will fit the container to your driveway, explain the Village permit if you need one, and quote the job 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 here, based on a five-day rental. Heavy pre-war material and off-island disposal move the total, and a street placement adds a separate Village charge. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
A container is almost always cheaper on Long Island. There is no county landfill to drive to, the Village yard is not a public drop-off, and the Village refuses construction debris, concrete and tires at the curb. One container handles the job in a single movement.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser and bagged material. Furniture fills space rather than weight, so volume is what limits you.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents and fuel. Under New York rules, waste tires and asbestos need a different transporter authorization than construction debris, so they cannot travel in a general container. The Village also refuses concrete and tires at the curb.
The 10-yard container is our lowest priced option at $399 to $499. Weight still decides your bill. Slate, plaster and masonry from an older Garden City house can carry a small container past its allowance, so dense material is cheaper in a dedicated load.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price follows the job rather than the calendar. Weight affects the total far more than duration. Ask your account manager for the included tonnage and the per-ton overage rate before delivery.
Lumber, plaster, lath, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, trim, doors, furniture and general cleanout material are all acceptable. Clean concrete, brick and masonry are fine and cost least kept separate. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
