At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Grand Forks, North Dakota, and the Red River valley communities around it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Basement finishing in the older neighborhoods west of the university, reroofing after hail, and steady construction out toward the 32nd Avenue corridor all put containers to work for homeowners and contractors.
What you pay comes down to container size, the weight of the material you load, how many days you keep it, and the charges at the city landfill north of town. Below you will find the price ranges, how the City handles containers on its streets, what the landfill will not take, and how soon delivery can be arranged.

Grand Forks quotes move on a short list of local factors.
The size you choose sets the floor. Ordering one step larger than you think you need is usually cheaper than adding a second haul, and on a winter job a second haul can mean waiting out a storm.
Material weight does the rest of the work. The city landfill charges by weight, so a 10-yard container of old concrete steps or wet plaster can cost more to empty than a 20-yard container of framing offcuts. Splitting dense material into its own load is the single easiest saving here.
Where the load goes is already settled in Grand Forks. The City runs the landfill itself, and the city code even defines a roll-off container as one that is "removed from the site and emptied at the city landfill and returned to the site." That means the destination is predictable and so is the charge structure.
Winter adds a practical factor rather than a line item. Frozen ground, snow windrows and a narrower alley make the drop spot the thing to plan first. Your account manager will talk through access before the truck is dispatched.

Start with volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across Grand Forks.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for dense loads. Sidewalk slabs, a brick chimney, tile, or soil from a basement window project will reach the weight ceiling with room still showing above the material.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the mid-size jobs that come up most: a garage emptied before a move, old carpet from a few rooms, or one layer of shingles off a modest house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the everyday choice for a whole-home cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel done together, or a reroof on a typical Grand Forks home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits additions, garage builds and interior demolition. It takes bulky, lighter material such as studs, siding, insulation and cabinetry without filling up too soon.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size, built for commercial fit-outs, warehouse clearing and demolition work that turns out a high volume of light debris.
Give your account manager the rough square footage and the material list, and they will tell you which size is the economical pick.
Private property is straightforward. A driveway, a yard pad or a commercial lot needs no permission from the City, and that is where almost every Grand Forks container goes.
The street is the opposite. The city code makes it unlawful to obstruct any street, avenue, alley, sidewalk, gutter or public park with "any other material, article, or commodity whatever," and it attaches no permit to that rule. The only permits the street chapter creates are for excavation work and for goods displayed for sale. In short, there is no published route that lets a container stand in a Grand Forks street, so plan for private ground.
The office to call is Public Works at 701-738-8740. City Hall is at 255 N. 4th Street, and the main number is 701-746-4636. If your job needs a building permit as well, that line is 701-746-2631.
If access is tight and the driveway will not take a container, tell your account manager early. They can look at the approach, suggest a placement that stays on your own property, and point you to the right City contact if the site genuinely leaves no option.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos stay out of a standard container. In Grand Forks, asbestos goes further than a simple exclusion: private hauling of asbestos needs authorization from the City Council, so an abatement job has to be arranged separately and well in advance.
The City's own list for its carts is a good guide to what belongs in a container instead. Grass clippings, yard waste, tree trimmings, rocks, dirt, cement and construction materials are all kept out of city carts, which is precisely why a remodel needs a roll-off.
A few more rules are local and worth knowing. Ashes have to be fully cold and bagged. Paint cans have to be dried out, not poured. Tires and special waste still carry a charge at the landfill even when a resident is using a free drop-off. And the city code specifically bars human tissue and pathological waste from any container or from the city landfill.
Anything you are unsure about, raise it with your account manager before it goes in. One wrong item can hold up a whole load at the scale.
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.
Grand Forks is unusual in that the City owns and runs the landfill its own containers go to, so there is no guessing about the destination.
Loads from Grand Forks go to the Grand Forks Landfill at 2701 N. 69th Street, Grand Forks, ND 58203, about a mile north of Highway 2. It is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., and closed Sunday. The landfill information page carries those hours and the Public Works number, 701-738-8740.
Two things about the site matter commercially. First, nobody hauls or dumps there except under the direction of the sanitation superintendent, so arrangements are made ahead of the load rather than at the gate. Second, the City charges residents and non-residents differently, with non-resident rates set by contract or by a schedule the superintendent maintains. The origin of your debris therefore affects the disposal side of your quote.
The City also runs a free resident drop-off for household items up to four times a year, limited to household quantities with proof of residency. That is useful for a garage tidy, but it does not cover a contractor load, and fees still apply to tires and special waste.
Your account manager confirms the destination and the charge basis for your container before delivery.
2701 N. 69th St., Grand Forks, ND 58203
Open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., closed Sunday.
Most Grand Forks rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. In winter, booking a few days ahead is worth more than it looks, because it lets you clear and sand the drop spot before the truck arrives.
Five things that make a Grand Forks delivery go smoothly:
The landfill schedule is the last piece. It closes at 11 a.m. on Saturday and all day Sunday, so a container finished on a Saturday afternoon will usually be hauled on the following working day.

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, based on a five-day rental in Grand Forks. Your position in that range depends on debris weight and the charges at the city landfill. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Driving it yourself means repeat runs out to 69th Street, a charge each visit, fuel, and hours of your own time. Beyond a couple of pickup loads, one container usually works out cheaper, and on a winter job it keeps debris from piling up under the snow.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a bookcase and several boxes. Furniture fills the floor area long before the weight limit becomes the issue.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos all stay out. In Grand Forks, asbestos hauling needs City Council authorization, so it is handled separately. Keep tires and batteries aside too, since they have their own charges and handling at the city landfill.
The 10-yard container is the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The cheapest rental is not always the cheapest job, though. Load it with concrete or soil and the weight allowance goes early. Keeping dense material in a separate container is usually the better saving.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because our pricing covers the delivery, the haul and the disposal rather than the days. Weight drives your final bill much more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the rate for extra tons.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are fine and often cost less when kept separate. If an item seems unusual, check with your account manager first.
