At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hackensack, New Jersey, and the nearby Bergen County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. As the county seat, Hackensack runs a busy mix of downtown apartment construction, medical and office work along Prospect Avenue, and steady updating of its older houses, and every one of those jobs needs somewhere for the debris to go.
Your price comes down to four things: the size of the container, the weight and type of what you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the facility that takes your load. Below you'll find price ranges, the city's street permit rules, what you can't throw in, and where your debris ends up.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Four things move the number on your Hackensack quote, and the first one is simply how big a container you order.
Weight is the next one. Plaster, tile, roofing, and concrete are dense, so a small container full of them can weigh more than a big container full of old furniture. Tell us what you're loading and we can match the size to the weight.
Where the load goes matters here more than in most towns. Bergen County runs a waste flow system, so a load from a Hackensack job has to be dropped at a facility the county has approved. Those sites are close, which helps, but each one sets its own disposal fees.
City rules can add a line to your bill too. A container on a Hackensack street needs a permit from the Police Department, and the filing fee is $50 for a home and $250 for a business. The container also has to carry reflective yellow panels on both ends, which is worth asking about before delivery day.

Pick your size by volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest one we carry. It suits a bathroom redo, a single room, or a small yard job. It's also the right call for brick, dirt, and broken concrete, since dense loads hit the weight limit long before the walls fill up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles the middle jobs: a packed garage, a basement, old flooring, or a small roof tear-off. You gain room without paying for a much larger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Hackensack homeowners end up with. It holds a full house cleanout or a remodel that runs across several rooms, and it still fits on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, gut jobs, and new home builds. Choose it when the debris is bulky and mixed rather than heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It fits commercial demolition, apartment turnovers, and industrial cleanouts that throw off a lot of volume.
Still weighing two sizes? Tell your account manager what the job involves and they'll point you to the cheaper of the two.
Keep the container on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, and Hackensack generally doesn't ask for a permit. The rule changes the moment any part of it sits on a city street or in a city-owned parking lot.
For those spots, the city requires a roll-off container permit, and it comes from the Hackensack Police Department rather than Public Works. The Chief of Police or the officer in charge signs off, after checking with the Traffic Bureau that the spot isn't a hazard. You can reach the Police Department at 201-646-7777, and the public counter is at 225 State St.
The city's container rules set some conditions worth knowing early. The street has to be at least 30 feet wide curb to curb. The container sits parallel to the curb, no more than eight feet six inches out from it, and it can't block the sidewalk. Each end needs an all-yellow reflective diamond panel at least 18 inches across. You also need to keep the load covered, and a permit runs 14 days before you ask for more time.
Proof of insurance goes in with the application, and the city has to be named on it. If you aren't sure whether your spot counts as city street, your account manager can help you reach the right desk before you book.
Normal house and job-site debris is fine. The limits come from New Jersey law and from what the receiving facility will take off the truck.
New Jersey keeps televisions and computers out of regular trash. That covers desktops, laptops, and monitors, and it has been the rule statewide since 2011. The state's electronics law points those items to a recycling drop-off instead, so pull them out before the container arrives. Phones, DVD players, and game consoles aren't covered by the ban.
Hazardous material is out as well: paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, wet batteries, propane tanks, and anything with asbestos in it. Liquids of any kind are a problem, because a leaking container can be refused at the gate and can put you on the hook for the cleanup.
Appliances and tires need their own handling. Hackensack picks up metal items and appliances only by appointment, for a $10.00 fee, and curbside collection is capped at two furniture items or two bags per pickup. That cap is the main reason a cleanout usually calls for a container.
Not sure about one odd item? Ask your account manager before it goes in, not after.
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.
Bergen County has no public landfill of its own. Since the start of 2024, everything thrown out in the county has to be taken to a facility the Bergen County Utilities Authority has approved, under a county waste flow system certified by the state. The authority keeps the approved list current and can be reached at 201-641-2552.
For a Hackensack job, the closest approved sites are transfer stations a few miles away: one on North Main Street in Lodi, one on Atlantic Avenue in Garfield, and one on Moonachie Road in Moonachie. Your debris is weighed and sorted there, then moved on by rail or truck to a landfill or an energy recovery plant.
Short trips are good news for you, since haul time is part of what you pay for. The county doesn't set the disposal fees at those sites, so each one prices its own scale. Your account manager can confirm which facility will take your load and what the charges look like before the truck rolls.
Most Hackensack orders go out within one to two business days, and the driver arrives inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself a few extra days if the container is going on the street, since the police permit has to be in hand first.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Winter is the one thing that can upset a street placement. Hackensack requires a container to come off the roadway as soon as snow builds up in a snow emergency area, so plan around the forecast from December through March.

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 container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the fees at the receiving transfer station move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything bigger than a car load, renting wins. Self-hauling in Bergen County means a minimum charge at the scale on every trip, plus fuel, tolls, and your own hours. One container handles the whole job in a single haul, and you load it on your own schedule.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you almost always run out of space before you run out of weight.
Keep out hazardous material: paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, wet batteries, propane tanks, and asbestos. Liquids are out too. New Jersey also bars televisions, computers, and monitors from regular trash, so set those aside. Tires and appliances need separate handling, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The catch is weight. Fill it with plaster, tile, or concrete and you can pass the included tonnage quickly, which adds overage charges. Keeping dense material in its own load is usually the cheaper route.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because a rental is priced by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives your bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Nearly all house and job-site debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are accepted as well, and they often cost less when kept in a separate load. Check any unusual item with your account manager first.
