At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Greenville, North Carolina, and the rest of Pitt County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Rental turnover around East Carolina University, construction and office work in the medical district, and flood repairs along the Tar River all keep roll-off containers moving for property owners and contractors here.
Four things set the price: the container size, the weight and makeup of your debris, how long you keep it, and what the county charges to take the load. Below are our price ranges, who to ask before a container goes in a city street, and the materials North Carolina keeps out of its landfills.

Here is what actually moves the number on a Greenville quote.
Container size sets the base figure. Ordering one size up is almost always cheaper than booking a second haul, and far cheaper than an overage charge on a container filled past its weight limit.
The material sets the ceiling. Shingles, brick, and wet carpet from a flooded house are all heavy, and water adds weight nobody plans for. Dense or soaked debris belongs in a smaller container loaded no higher than the rails.
Disposal is the third piece. Loads from town are weighed in at the county site east of the city, and the county, not the hauler, sets what that costs. Those charges come through in your quote.
Placement is the last piece. A driveway or a fenced site costs nothing extra. A container that reaches into a street or a sidewalk means a call to the city first, and on the student rental streets near campus that call is worth making a week ahead.

Pick by volume first, then check the weight, since heavy debris changes the answer. We carry five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for dense material: brick, block, broken concrete, or one bathroom taken down to the studs. Heavy debris reaches the weight allowance well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a cleared-out garage, a flooring tear-out, or one slope of a roof. It gives real extra room without stepping up in price to a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is what most Greenville jobs use. A full-house cleanout, a flood gut, or a remodel over several rooms all fit, and it still parks on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles an addition, a new build, or a multi-unit turnover where several apartments empty at once. Volume, not weight, is what runs out on jobs like that.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial construction, interior strip-outs, and large demolition move faster with it.
Weighing two sizes against each other? Tell your account manager what the job involves and they will choose for you.
A container on private property, your driveway or your own site, needs no permit from the city. The question arrives the moment part of it sits in a street, a sidewalk, or a shoulder.
In Greenville, that side of things belongs to the Engineering Department, which issues the permits for work in the city right-of-way, including the right-of-way excavation permit and the land disturbing permit. Building permits come from the Inspections Division instead, so Engineering is the right first call for a container question.
Engineering is at 1500 Beatty Street and answers at 252-329-4467. Public Works shares the building and can be reached at 252-329-4522, and either number will tell you whether the strip in front of your address belongs to the city.
Several of the busiest roads here are not the city's at all. Routes carrying US or NC numbers are maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and anything set in state right-of-way needs a written encroachment agreement from its district office. Your account manager will work out which agency owns the frontage at your address and get the right approval started before your delivery date.
Ordinary building and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from the state ban list and from what the receiving site will take.
North Carolina publishes a long list of materials that cannot be landfilled anywhere in the state. The Department of Environmental Quality keeps the official list, and it covers used oil and oil filters, antifreeze, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, wooden pallets, oyster shells, yard trash, and lead-acid batteries. Whole scrap tires are banned as well.
White goods are on the list too, which matters on a flood job. Refrigerators, ranges, freezers, washers, dryers, water heaters, and window air conditioners all have to be pulled out of the load and handled separately.
Electronics are banned as well. Televisions, monitors, laptops, desktops, printers, and scanners cannot go to a landfill, so a student-housing cleanout needs a separate pile for them.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of any container, whatever the facility. If something on your job falls in a gray area, your account manager will sort it out before the load is rejected at the gate.
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.
Container loads from town are taken to the Pitt County Transfer Station, run by Pitt County Solid Waste and Recycling at 3025 Landfill Road, Greenville, NC 27834. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon, closed Sundays, and the gate number is 252-902-3350.
At a transfer station, your debris is weighed, tipped, and reloaded into larger trailers for the trip to a regional landfill. That is why the county sets the gate charge rather than the truck that picked you up.
It also explains why a container is the practical answer for project debris here. The city collects garbage, recycling, yard waste, and bulky items from single-family homes, but it does not pick up construction, demolition, or building debris at the curb, and bulky collection runs by appointment only.
Your account manager will confirm which facility is receiving your load and what the gate charges for that material before the container is dropped off.
3025 Landfill Road, Greenville, NC 27834
County-run transfer station open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon.
Most Greenville orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Ordering ahead gives you room to clear the spot, settle a street question, and often price the job better.
Five habits that make delivery day smooth:
Keep the county schedule in mind as well. The transfer station closes at noon on Saturday and stays shut on Sunday, so a container topped off over the weekend 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.
In Greenville, a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The material matters too, since the county transfer station charges by weight and roofing and flood debris are heavy. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the overage rate when the order goes in.
Beyond a load or two, renting is cheaper. The county gate closes at 4 p.m. on weekdays and noon on Saturday, so self-hauling means taking time off, paying at the scale each trip, and loading everything twice. A container holds the whole job and goes once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a desk, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so with a household load you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. North Carolina also bans used oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, whole tires, pallets, yard trash, white goods, televisions, and computer equipment from landfills. Those items need their own pile, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. What goes in it still decides the bill, because brick, mortar, and soaked carpet can take a small container past its weight allowance fast. Splitting heavy material into one container and light debris into another usually costs less.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since the price is built around the job and the haul rather than the number of days. Weight is the variable that moves your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what an extra ton costs before delivery.
Nearly all of what a build or a cleanout produces: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet, and general household junk. Clean brick, block, and concrete are fine too, and they often cost less in a container of their own. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
