In Hays, what you throw away can matter as much as the size you rent. Here's why.
Size is still the starting point. A larger container costs more, and the right size keeps you from paying overage fees or booking a second haul.
The type of debris changes the landfill fee a lot. Ellis County posts a separate fee for each kind of load. Its 2026 rates are $90 per ton for household and mixed waste, $50 per ton for construction and demolition debris, and $15 per ton for clean rubble like brick and concrete. Keeping loads sorted can make a real difference.
A few charges sit outside the per-ton fee. The county adds a $20 load assist fee when its equipment has to help unload a roll-off. It also adds 50 percent to the disposal fee for any load that arrives unsecured or spills on the way. Those are disposal fees, not rental prices.
City rules can add a small step, too, if you need a container permit. That's covered in the permit section below.

The right size depends on how much debris you have 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 driveway's worth of broken concrete. Heavy rubble reaches the weight limit before the container is full, and in Hays it also gets the lowest landfill fee when kept clean.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage or shop cleanout, new flooring in a few rooms, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Hays for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that spans several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new home builds, and storm cleanup with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we offer. It suits commercial construction, big demolitions, and large farm or warehouse cleanouts.
Tell your account manager what you're working on, and they'll help you choose.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, you generally won't need a permit to set it there. Things change if it would sit on a City street or other public right-of-way, or if the City treats it as a temporary container.
The City of Hays has a Temporary and Permanent Storage Container Permit, listed on its permit applications page. The fee is $20 for residential property and $30 for commercial property, and the permit lasts 60 days unless the City says otherwise. On residential lots, the form allows containers tied to an approved construction project or to natural disaster cleanup.
That form is written mainly for storage and shipping containers, so ask the City which rules cover a roll-off at your address. Call City of Hays Planning and Development at 785-628-7310. The office is at 1002 Vine Street.
If you're not sure whether your spot is private or public, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in your container. Kansas rules and the Ellis County Landfill set the limits.
Kansas law says construction and demolition waste can't include loose, crumbly asbestos, household garbage, tires, drums, or appliances and furniture that still hold ozone-harming refrigerants. That means those items can't ride in a construction debris load. The county takes some of them on their own, with separate fees.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and gas cylinders can't go in a standard dumpster either. Non-friable asbestos needs special plans made with the landfill ahead of time, and it must be wet and covered.
Electronics have their own route. The county takes most electronics free, like laptops, printers, and flat-screen TVs, but it doesn't take old tube TVs, tube monitors, or projection TVs. Tires and appliances with refrigerant are charged separately, so mention them when you book.
Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in.
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.
Dumpster loads from Hays go to the Ellis County Landfill at 1515 West 55th Street, Hays, KS 67601. The county runs the site through its municipal and solid waste department. The phone number is 785-628-9460.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It stops accepting loads 15 minutes before closing. The county also closes it on major holidays, including Thanksgiving and the day after, and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Because the county charges different fees for household waste, construction debris, and clean rubble, what you load decides the disposal cost. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
1515 West 55th Street, Hays, KS 67601
Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; no loads in the last 15 minutes.
Most dumpster rentals in Hays can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little extra lead time helps if you need to check with the City about a container permit.
Keep these tips in mind for delivery:
The landfill is closed on Sundays and takes no loads in its last 15 minutes, so a container filled late in the week may be 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.
Dumpster rentals in Hays run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The type of debris matters here, since the county landfill charges different fees for each kind. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For small jobs, a trip to the county landfill can make sense. For bigger ones, a dumpster usually wins. Each trip carries its own minimum charge and per-ton fee, plus the time spent loading, driving, and unloading. A dumpster lets you finish the job and have it hauled once.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving space for a recliner, a mattress, and a stack of boxes. Furniture takes up room but doesn't weigh much, so space runs out before weight does.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, gas cylinders, and friable asbestos out of your Hays dumpster. Tires, drums, and appliances with refrigerant can't ride in a construction load either. The county takes some of them separately, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your load still decides the final cost. Clean brick and concrete carry the county's lowest disposal fee, so keeping rubble separate from household trash is one of the best ways to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since dumpsters are priced by the job, not the day. What you load has a bigger effect on the bill than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager about included weight and extra days.
Most household and construction debris is fine, including brick, drywall, wood, roofing, plaster, soil, concrete, toilets, ceramic sinks, carpet, and furniture. Sorting construction debris away from household trash often lowers disposal costs in Hays. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
