Prime Dumpster arranges roll-off containers across Golden Valley, Minnesota and the western Hennepin County suburbs beside it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Golden Valley is a mature inner suburb where most of the housing went up between the 1940s and the 1960s, so the work is nearly all renovation rather than new construction: kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, roof and siding jobs on the ramblers and split-levels, garage teardowns, and commercial interior work along the Highway 55 and Interstate 394 corridors.
Golden Valley is an open market and says so, which is good news. Two local rules decide how a job runs here, though, and neither is obvious. The City licenses haulers and caps one class of license. And in spring the City lowers the axle weight allowed on every street it owns. Below are our price ranges, both of those explained, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

The thing that moves a Golden Valley number most is not the size. It is the season.
When spring load restrictions are in force, traffic on every City street is limited to a maximum weight of 6 tons per axle. The City can issue a waiver for a single trip at up to 7 tons per axle, and only one waiver is issued per project per season. The application goes to the Physical Development office at 7800 Golden Valley Road with a sketch showing the project location and the proposed haul route.
Read that twice if you are planning heavy work in March, April or May. A container loaded with concrete, plaster, roofing or tile is exactly what breaches 6 tons per axle, and you get one waived trip for the whole project. The answers are to schedule dense material outside the restriction, or to use a smaller container and more trips. Your account manager works that out with you before you pick a start date.
After that, the usual levers. Golden Valley's housing is mid-century, so a gut job gives up plaster, lath and old tile, all heavy for their volume. Volume runs the lighter work. And a clean load always beats a mixed one, because the facility charges to separate what you did not.

Pick on volume, test against weight, then check the calendar. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across western Hennepin County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material size, and in Golden Valley it is also the spring answer. Concrete, brick, plaster and tile belong in it, and a smaller load is easier to keep under the axle limit.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, one bathroom gut, or a small roof section.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Golden Valley orders most. A basement finishing job, a kitchen replacement, or flooring lifted across several rooms fits in one haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions and whole-house remodels, where lath, plaster and framing come out together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, sized for commercial interior demolition on the main corridors.
Tell your account manager what is coming out and when the work starts, and they will size it with you.
On private property you need no City container permit, and that is the simple part. The City does have rules about where a container sits and how long, and they apply on your own lot.
In residential zones, containers have to be stored no more than five feet from the primary or accessory structure, with a hardship route decided by the City Manager. Curbside placement is allowed only from 5 p.m. the day before collection to 9 p.m. on the day.
For commercial properties and buildings of more than four units, the rule is tighter. Any bulk or box type container used to store solid waste must be fully screened from view of the public right of way, a public park or a residential area, and in no event may a container be placed next to the street. So a commercial Golden Valley job needs a screened spot, planned in advance.
There is also a clock, and it starts earlier than people expect. Material too large or unsuitable for a storage container must be dealt with in no event later than 10 days after it was first stored on the premises, with yard waste allowed forty days. The City Manager can permit longer storage on a showing of need. That clock runs from the day the debris first goes down, not the day the container arrives, so a project that stockpiles first has already used some of it.
Two further points sit on our side rather than yours, and they matter when you choose a supplier.
The City licenses haulers, and the duty not to use an unlicensed one falls on you. Its own rule says no person shall permit solid waste to be moved from property they own or occupy by any unauthorized or unlicensed collector. The residential class of license is capped at the number in place in March 2020 and shrinks by attrition towards a floor of four. The commercial class carries no cap at all. Licenses expire on 1 April, applications go in at least 60 days ahead, and a license cannot be sold or assigned.
The City also sets a vehicle standard that reads awkwardly against an open-top container, requiring a fully enclosed metal body that is tightly sealed. A roll-off on a tilt frame is neither on its face, and we raise that rather than pretend it is not written there. Eagan, a few miles south, writes the same clause with an express exception for construction and demolition debris haulers. Your account manager will confirm the position for your job before anything is delivered.
The numbers worth keeping: Physical Development and Engineering are at 7800 Golden Valley Road on 763-593-8030, and the City's main line is 763-593-8000.
Out of every container: hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oils, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, propane cylinders and anything carrying a warning label. The City also bars burning or burying any waste in the city without a license for it.
Televisions, monitors and electronics go to their own collection, and so do refrigerant appliances, tires and lead acid batteries. Mattresses and carpet are bulky waste in Golden Valley's definitions and are usually cheaper handled on their own.
The useful split here is weight rather than material. Because of the spring axle limit, keeping concrete, plaster, tile and roofing in their own small container is not only cheaper to dispose of, it is what keeps a load legal on a City street in March and April.
Everything else from a renovation is fine: wood, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, insulation, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material. Ask your account manager about anything borderline before it goes in, because a contaminated load is repriced at the facility.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Golden Valley runs what it calls an open system, described plainly on its own garbage hauling page: residents contract individually with a hauler of their choice, while recycling goes through a single hauler the City contracts. The Council settled on that in 2019. For a container customer that is the best available arrangement, because nobody holds a monopoly on the work.
The City's own definitions then tell you where a construction load sits. Golden Valley adopts the state definition of mixed municipal solid waste, and that definition expressly excludes construction debris, along with street sweepings, ash, tires, batteries and vehicle fluids. Its bulky waste class is a subset of that and is described in household terms. So the license classes are written around household and commercial trash rather than around a construction container, while the duty in the solid waste chapter uses the wider term. Both readings end in the same place: use a licensed hauler and confirm the position for your job.
On destinations, the county layer is thinner than people assume. Hennepin County publishes no solid waste hauler license: its licenses and certificates index covers birth and death certificates, marriage, identification, vehicles, recreation and road and property matters, and nothing on waste collection. The regional hauler licensing arrangement across the seven metro counties also excludes construction debris from the waste it licenses, which is the same exclusion Golden Valley's own definitions carry.
What the county does run is drop-off sites, and the nearer one is the Hennepin County Brooklyn Park Drop-Off Facility at 8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445, on 612-348-3777. It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Read the access rules first, because they are narrow. It is open to Hennepin County households only and takes no construction debris. The county states that in general it does not accept waste from businesses, and its definition of a business covers rental properties, townhouse associations, home-based businesses and nonprofits.
Golden Valley's own drop-off is Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day, an annual event for items that cannot be donated rather than a standing facility. Your account manager confirms which processing facility your container is bound for and what the sorted material will be charged at before delivery.
8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445
County run, open Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hennepin County households only, and the county does not take waste from businesses or construction debris.
Most Golden Valley rentals are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Spring is the exception, and it is worth planning around rather than discovering.
Five things that make a Golden Valley delivery go smoothly:
One Hennepin County note. The county drop-off sites close on Sunday and Monday, so the odds and ends need a weekday or Saturday trip.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Golden Valley, from the neighborhoods around Brookview and Theodore Wirth Park to Hidden Lakes, the streets off Winnetka Avenue and the commercial corridors along Highway 55 and Interstate 394, plus the inner suburbs next door.

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 Golden Valley runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. In spring the axle weight limit on City streets can matter more than the size, because a heavy load may need a waiver. Your account manager confirms tonnage, the overage rate and the timing.
In Golden Valley the container wins easily. The county drop-off sites are open to Hennepin County households only, refuse waste from any income-producing activity, and take no construction debris at all. A container holds the whole job and goes once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so a Golden Valley basement clearing fills the volume well before it reaches the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane cylinders and asbestos all stay out. Televisions, monitors, electronics, refrigerant appliances, tires and lead acid batteries 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 in Golden Valley it is often the smart choice rather than just the cheap one, because a lighter load is easier to keep under the spring axle limit. Watch the weight on a mid-century house, since plaster and tile 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. The clock that bites in Golden Valley is the City's ten-day storage limit on material left on site. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what an extra ton costs.
Wood, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, insulation, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material are all lawful in a Golden Valley container. Clean concrete, brick and plaster are accepted too, and they cost less in their own container as well as being easier to keep street legal.
