Prime Dumpster supplies roll-off containers across Georgetown, Kentucky and the Scott County countryside around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Georgetown is a historic county seat that has taken on a lot of new building, and that shows in the work: porch, roof and plaster jobs on the older homes near Court Street and the college, and new construction and remodeling out in the subdivisions and along the US 62 and US 25 corridors.
Georgetown is unusual, and in a way that helps you. The city gives its own residential collection to one exclusive contractor, and then carves a hole in that monopoly that is shaped exactly like this product. The trade-off is that the city regulates the container itself more tightly than most. Below are the price ranges, both of those points in plain words, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

A Georgetown quote starts with a cost most customers never see on an invoice.
The city charges every firm holding its non-exclusive solid waste franchise a sum equal to ten percent of the gross service revenue earned inside the city limits, reported and paid quarterly, with an accountant's certified statement each year and the books open to city audit. That is a real cost of doing business here and it is inside any honest Georgetown price. Nobody can quote around it, and a quote that looks far below the market usually means somebody is not carrying it.
Kentucky's second price driver is landfill class. The state has no long banned-materials list and controls disposal by the class of landfill instead, and construction and demolition debris is its own class with its own sites. In practice that means a clean construction load has a cheaper route than a mixed one, and the separation decision is yours to make before anything is loaded.
Weight is the third. Georgetown's older homes give up plaster, lath, slate and soft brick, all heavy for their volume, so a historic renovation produces more tonnage per cubic yard than a new build. Volume runs the new work instead, where framing offcuts, sheathing, drywall and packaging fill space rather than weight.

Size on volume, test against weight, then check where it can legally sit. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across Scott County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster takes dense material and fits the tightest lots downtown. Plaster, brick, slate, concrete and tile all belong in it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, one bathroom gut, or a small roof section.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice in Georgetown. A full house cleanout, a kitchen replacement, or flooring taken up across several rooms fits in a single haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions and gut renovations, where lath, plaster and framing come out of an older house together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, sized for commercial interior demolition and for the industrial and logistics work on the city's north and east sides.
Describe the building and its age to your account manager and they will size it with you.
Private property is where Georgetown differs from most Kentucky cities, so start here rather than with the street.
The city regulates dumpsters in residentially zoned property in its own right, and a new container needs a permit from the building inspector, issued only after a drawing has been reviewed showing compliance with every provision. The property owner is responsible for getting that permit. Even on your own driveway, then, there is a step before delivery.
The rules behind the drawing, and the one at the top is good news:
If the container has to sit in the public right of way, there is one extra step and it is easy to miss. You need written location approval from the chief of police before building inspection will issue the permit, and a container in the right of way has to carry lights or reflectors making it easily visible to traffic. Get the police sign-off moving first, because the building permit waits on it.
The city also keeps a removal power. A container in the wrong place can be tagged with a notice giving until 8 a.m. the next day, after which public works removes it to the city yard and holds it until the owner shows proof of ownership and pays any fine.
The office to call is the Georgetown and Scott County Building Inspection Department at 125 W Clinton Street, Georgetown, KY 40324, on 502-863-9802. One practical gap to know about: the department's current fee schedule, in force from 1 October 2026, prices demolition, temporary signs, tents and construction trailers, and it does not list a dumpster permit at all. So the permit is required and its price is a phone call. Your account manager will make that call with you.
Kentucky publishes no statewide banned-materials table, so the limits here come from the class of landfill a load is bound for and from the receiving site's own acceptance rules.
Out of every container, without exception: hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oils, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks and anything carrying a warning label. Batteries go separately. Electronics, televisions and monitors are collected on their own. Appliances holding refrigerant and tires are each handled separately.
The more useful point is about what should be split rather than what is barred. Because Kentucky handles construction and demolition debris as its own landfill class, a load of clean brick, block and concrete has a different and cheaper destination than a mixed renovation load. Keeping the masonry in its own container is the saving most Georgetown customers miss.
Everything else from a renovation is fine: wood, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, insulation, fixtures and general cleanout material. Ask your account manager about anything borderline before it goes in, because a contaminated load is repriced at the gate.

Georgetown's residential collection belongs to one exclusive contractor, and the city bills for it through its water and sewer service, with non-payment ending in a water disconnection. That system is not open to a competing hauler on the city streets, and the penalty for collecting on those streets without authority runs per act of collection.
Then comes the sentence that matters most on this whole subject. The city's own rule says that except through the use of dumpsters, all solid waste generated within the city shall be collected by the exclusive contractor, and that private persons may collect solid waste generated within the city if that waste is collected in a dumpster. The monopoly simply does not reach a container. That is the clearest written opening we have found anywhere in our service area for exactly this product, and it is why a Georgetown job can be served without a fight.
The route in is the city's non-exclusive franchise, which reaches municipal, industrial and commercial waste, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste, medical waste and recycling. It is open, not capped, and it carries the ten percent of gross revenue described above. Your account manager confirms the current position for your job.
On the destination side, Georgetown publishes no city-run or county-run disposal or drop-off site, and Scott County's own website does not answer from here, so we have no public facility to point you to. The city's public works department lists street sweeping, leaf collection, brush removal and storm drains, and no disposal yard. That is an honest zero rather than a gap we have papered over. Call Building Inspection on 502-863-9802 for the current county drop-off arrangements, and your account manager will confirm which construction and demolition facility your container is bound for and what the material will be charged at before delivery.
Kentucky also registers waste collectors with the county they serve rather than with the state, filed annually. Scott County is the county for Georgetown. We keep those registrations current, and your account manager can confirm the detail.
Most Georgetown rentals are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Build in more time than that, because this city needs a permit even on private ground.
Five things that make a Georgetown delivery go smoothly:
One Scott County note. Because the construction and demolition facilities keep weekday hours, a container filled late on a Friday is usually hauled on Monday.

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 Georgetown runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The city's ten percent franchise charge on gross revenue sits inside any lawful local price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage, the overage rate and the permit position before you commit.
In Georgetown the container is almost always cheaper, because there is no city or county drop-off site published for a renovation load and a construction and demolition facility works on account. A container also keeps you inside the city's dumpster rule, which a pile of debris does not.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so a Georgetown house cleanout fills the volume long before it reaches the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, batteries and asbestos all stay out. Tires, refrigerant appliances, televisions and monitors go to separate collection. Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring and cabinets are all fine in a mixed load.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a downtown Georgetown lot with ten-foot side setbacks it is frequently the only size that will legally fit. Watch the weight on a historic house, because plaster, lath and slate reach the tonnage allowance fast.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because a container is priced for the job rather than by the day. In Georgetown the clock that matters is the permit, not the rental, since the building inspector reviews a drawing before delivery. 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 Georgetown container. Clean brick, block and concrete are accepted too, and because Kentucky treats construction debris as its own landfill class they cost less in their own container.
