A handful of factors decide what a dumpster costs in Harker Heights.
Size sets the starting point. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can lead to overage charges or a second trip.
Weight comes next. Disposal in this area is charged by the ton, so shingles, tile, brick, and dirt add up far faster than furniture and boxes.
The disposal site matters, too. The nearest public site that posts its fees is the City of Killeen Transfer Station. Its current rates are $80 per ton for Killeen utility customers and $137.60 per ton for everyone else. A Harker Heights load counts as a non-utility customer, so it pays the higher rate. These are the transfer station's fees, not our prices.
Some items cost extra no matter the weight. The same site charges by the piece for tires, mattresses from non-utility customers, and appliances with Freon, and it adds a surcharge for loads that arrive without a cover. List those items when you book so your quote reflects them.

Your best size depends on how much debris you'll create and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small bedroom cleanout, or a load of brush after a trim. Choose it for heavy material like concrete, brick, or rock, since dense debris reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, carpet or tile removal, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for families clearing out a whole house before a move or remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for big renovations, room additions, new home construction, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial projects, large teardowns, and business or warehouse cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about your project, and they'll help you choose a size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, usually doesn't need a City permit in Harker Heights. If the container has to sit on a City street or across a sidewalk, check with the City first.
Harker Heights doesn't publish a permit made just for dumpsters. Its fee schedule lists a $25 fee for temporary storage containers kept less than 60 days, plus a street cut fee for work that opens the pavement. The City doesn't say whether either one covers a dumpster. The same schedule charges double the permit fee when work starts without a required permit, so it pays to ask first.
The Public Works Department handles City streets. It's at 305 Millers Crossing and can be reached at 254-953-5649, Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ask whether your placement needs a permit, and get the answer in writing if you can.
If you're unsure where your property line ends, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most household and construction debris is fine in your container. Texas rules and the disposal site set the limits.
Texas keeps whole tires out of landfills. Tires have to be split, quartered, or shredded before a landfill takes them, which is why disposal sites charge for them by the piece. Texas is less strict than many states on household electronics. The state environmental agency says most household electronics can go in regular trash, though recycling is still the better choice.
The Killeen Transfer Station turns away asbestos, fertilizers, hazardous waste, liquids, medical waste, pesticides, septic waste, and animal carcasses. Motor oil, antifreeze, and lead-acid batteries go to the Killeen Recycling Center instead.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and pressurized tanks don't belong in a standard dumpster either. Set aside tires, mattresses, and appliances, and mention them when you book.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
The City of Killeen Transfer Station is the closest public disposal site with posted fees. It's at 12200 State Highway 195, Killeen, TX 76549, south of Harker Heights. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's closed the fourth Saturday of each month. The phone number is 254-501-8971.
According to the City of Killeen, the station takes brush, construction and demolition debris, furniture, household garbage, grass, leaves, and yard waste. Every load has to be covered or secured with a tarp or net.
Harker Heights' own trash service runs through a contracted collection company, and it won't pick up construction or demolition debris like rock, dirt, concrete, brick, or scrap building material. City code also says contractors must haul away the debris their work creates. A roll-off container is the simple way to handle both.
The final destination for your load depends on what's in it and on our hauling route. Your account manager will confirm where it's going and explain any fees before delivery.
12200 State Highway 195, Killeen, TX 76549
Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday and Saturday until 3 p.m.
Most rentals in Harker Heights can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to check on street placement and prepare the spot.
Here's how to keep your delivery on track:
The transfer station's schedule matters, too. It closes at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, shuts down the fourth Saturday of the month, and stays closed on Sundays, so a weekend load may wait until Monday.

Rentals in Harker Heights range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard dumpster, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and local per-ton disposal fees also shape the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, a dumpster wins. Hauling it yourself means paying the non-utility rate at the transfer station on every trip, plus fuel, a trailer, and your weekend. A dumpster lets you load at your own pace, and the hauler takes everything away in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and a pile of boxes. Bulky furniture fills space quickly but doesn't weigh much, so volume runs out before weight does.
In Harker Heights, keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Car batteries and motor oil should go to recycling. Whole tires aren't allowed in Texas landfills, so tell us about tires, mattresses, and Freon appliances when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final bill still depends on weight, because disposal here is charged by the ton. A small container full of tile or brick can pass its weight allowance, so keeping heavy debris separate often saves money.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job instead of by the day, and the weight of your debris affects your bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the included weight and extra-day charges.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, brush, and general clutter. Texas also allows most household electronics in regular trash, unlike many states. Heavy items like concrete and dirt are fine in the right size container. Your account manager can check anything you're unsure about.
