Prime Dumpster arranges roll-off container placement throughout Garner, North Carolina and the southern Wake County communities around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Garner has grown fast on the south side of Raleigh, so the containers sit on two very different kinds of job: new construction and shell work in the subdivisions off Ten Ten Road and White Oak, and renovation and cleanout work on the older brick ranches near downtown and Aversboro Road.
What makes a Garner quote different is that the Town runs an open permit for private collectors and writes its own rules around construction debris, while Wake County decides what the disposal side costs. Below are our price ranges, both of those rules explained simply, and how fast we can be on site.

Three things move a Garner number, and the first one is where the load is allowed to go.
Wake County owns the landfill that serves this side of the county, and it takes waste only from licensed haulers on credit accounts. Everything it accepts has to have been generated inside Wake County. That is good news for a Garner customer, because the route is short and settled, and short hauls cost less. It also means a job straddling the county line needs a word with your account manager first.
Weight comes next. Garner's older housing is brick and block, and a 1960s ranch gives up far more tonnage per cubic yard than a 2015 build. Masonry, mortar, tile and shingles are the dense ones. Volume runs the new-construction work.
The last piece is how clean the load is. Separating the heavy masonry from the light construction waste sends each container to the facility that handles it most cheaply. It is the saving most Garner customers leave on the table.

Choose on volume, check against weight, then look at the driveway. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across southern Wake County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is for dense material and tight sites. Brick, block, concrete, mortar and tile belong in it, because the tonnage runs out long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage clear-down, a single bathroom gut, or a small section of roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Garner orders most often. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen replacement, or flooring lifted across several rooms all go in one haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, full renovations and new residential construction, where framing waste and packaging build volume quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, sized for commercial shell and fit-out work and for the industrial and distribution sites along the Jones Sausage Road and US 70 corridors.
Tell your account manager the age of the building and what is coming out of it, and they will size it with you.
On private property the answer is straightforward. A container on your own driveway, parking lot or lot needs no Town permit, and Garner has no screening rule, no setback and no cover rule for a container on private ground.
Better than that, the Town's health and sanitation chapter actually names a container as the way to stay compliant. It treats an open accumulation of construction and demolition debris as a nuisance, and then says that if the same material is in a dumpster, a trailer or a truck bed, it is not considered open. So on a Garner job site the container is not a tolerated nuisance, it is the Town's own answer to one.
What the Town does insist on is that someone deals with the debris. Its rules put construction debris on the builder or contractor who generated it, and add that if they fail to dispose of it promptly, the property owner has to. If debris piles up, the Town can remove it and charge the cost, and an unpaid charge becomes a lien collected like unpaid taxes. That is why we book the pull with the drop.
If any part of the container will sit in the public right of way, you need an encroachment permit. Garner runs two grades, and a temporary item such as a container falls under the minor encroachment permit from the Town Engineering Department. Every Town encroachment permit must include a signed encroachment agreement, and you can apply online. Where the road is state maintained, which covers several main routes through Garner, the paperwork is a state encroachment agreement and takes longer.
Two numbers worth keeping. The Public Works Service Desk is on 919-772-7600 and the solid waste and streets operation works out of 610 Rand Mill Road. Town Hall is at 900 7th Ave. on 919-772-4688.
Two licensing notes, because in Garner there are two layers and most suppliers mention neither.
Any private firm collecting, transporting or disposing of waste inside the Town limits has to hold a Town permit first, issued through the town manager's office. The standard is a good one: the Town grants the permit once it finds the applicant has adequate equipment, plans and resources for sanitary collection and disposal. There is no cap and no approved list to get onto.
Wake County then adds its own. The County requires all persons, firms and corporations engaged in the collection of garbage, refuse, solid waste or recyclables anywhere in Wake County to hold a Solid Waste Hauler's Privilege License, with a certificate of liability insurance and a fee, and applications are accepted only between 1 May and 31 July each year. The window is closed at the moment. A separate landfill credit account is needed on top of that to use the County's landfill or transfer station at all. The County publishes its list of licensed haulers, so this is something you can and should check for any supplier you are considering, including us. Your account manager will tell you exactly where we stand on both layers for your job rather than leaving you to assume.
North Carolina has no long state banned-materials table, so most of the rules here come from the receiving facility and from common sense.
Out of every container: hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oils, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks and anything with a warning label. Batteries of every type go separately, and the county has asked residents to expect a battery ban, so keep them out.
Electronics, televisions and monitors are collected on their own rather than mixed into a load. Appliances holding refrigerant are handled separately. Tires need to be dealt with on their own and rims have to come off.
The Town's own commercial container rules are a useful guide to what a receiving site dislikes. They bar uncompactable material, cap a container and its contents at 5,000 pounds together, and bar material that originated outside the Town, which is a reminder that origin matters here.
Everything a Garner renovation actually produces is fine: wood, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, insulation, fixtures and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too, and they cost less when they travel in a container of their own.
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.
Start with what the Town will not do, because it says so plainly on its own curbside collection page: the Town will not pick up construction debris or any waste generated by commercial or contracted and paid services. Its spring and fall cleanups exclude the same thing. So a renovation or a job site in Garner is always a private container, never a municipal pickup.
From there the load goes into the Wake County system. The county's own landfill for this side of the county sits where Holly Springs meets Apex, and the county describes it as taking the waste collected from Wake County's businesses and its 1.1 million residents. Two conditions apply and both are the county's own words: it accepts waste only from licensed haulers on credit accounts, and all waste must originate inside Wake County. The county does not publish who operates it, so we name it without claiming more than that.
For the household-scale items a container cannot take, two county sites are genuinely useful and both are run by the county's own Solid Waste Management Division.
The Wake County Convenience Center Site 1 at 10505 Old Stage Road, Raleigh, NC is the closest of the county's eleven centers to Garner, open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. It does take household construction debris, but only from a homeowner and only with verification, so it is no help to a contractor or a container load. Call 919-856-7400.
The South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC 27539 opens Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is one of the few county sites open to businesses as well as residents. It takes cardboard, scrap metal, appliances, oils, filters and pallets, and no construction debris at all. The same number reaches it. One site rule is worth copying onto any job: all open-body vehicles transporting waste must be secured to prevent blown and spilled debris.
Your account manager confirms which facility your container is going to and what the sorted material will be charged at before it is delivered.
10505 Old Stage Road, Raleigh, NC
Open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Household construction debris is taken from a homeowner only, with verification, and not from a contractor or a container load.
6130 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC 27539
Open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., to businesses and residents. Takes cardboard, metals, appliances, oils and pallets, and no construction debris.
Most Garner rentals are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Add lead time if the container has to sit in the right of way, and add more if the road is state maintained.
Five things that make a Garner delivery go smoothly:
One Triangle note. The county facilities close on the main holidays, so a container filled on a holiday weekend usually moves the following working day.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Garner, from downtown and Aversboro Road to Forest Ridge, White Oak, Ten Ten Road and the industrial sites along US 70, plus the southern Wake County communities beside it. We plan placement so the container stays on private ground wherever that is possible, which keeps the encroachment paperwork out of your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out where it may sit, 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.
A 10-yard container in Garner runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. What moves the number most is weight and whether the load is clean, because masonry and mixed renovation waste are handled differently. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and the overage rate before you commit.
For anything beyond a car boot, the container is cheaper in Garner. The county convenience centers take household construction debris from a homeowner only and with verification, and the county landfill works on hauler credit accounts. A container holds the whole job and goes once.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so a Garner house cleanout fills the volume well before it troubles the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, batteries and asbestos all stay out. Tires, appliances with refrigerant, televisions and monitors go to separate collection. Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets and general cleanout material are all fine in a mixed container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a tight downtown Garner lot it is often the only size that fits the driveway. Watch the weight on an older brick ranch, because block, mortar and tile will reach the tonnage allowance before the container looks anywhere near full.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the container is priced for the job rather than by the day. In Garner the thing to shorten is not the rental but the time debris sits loose, since the Town can require prompt removal. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included.
Wood, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, insulation, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material are all lawful in a Garner container. Clean brick, block and concrete are accepted as well, and keeping them separate from the light construction waste lowers what the receiving facility charges.
