At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and the Greater Hazleton area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A lot of the city is brick and frame housing from the coal years, which means plaster, lath and slate come out of remodels here rather than drywall, and the warehouse and construction work along the Route 924 corridor keeps larger containers moving as well.
What you pay turns on the size you take, how heavy the debris is, how long the container sits, and what the receiving facility charges at the gate. Below you will find the price ranges, the City permit Hazleton writes specifically for dumpsters, the state rule that decides whether a clean load is cheaper, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Three things set the number on a Hazleton job, and one of them is a Pennsylvania rule rather than a local one.
Size is the first. Taking the next container up is almost always cheaper than booking a second haul, and on a tight city lot a second delivery also means a second permit conversation.
Weight is the second, because disposal is billed by the ton. Plaster and lath from an older Hazleton house are far heavier than the same volume of modern drywall, and slate roofing is heavier still, so an old-house remodel often needs a smaller container than the room count suggests.
The third is how the load is sorted. Pennsylvania treats uncontaminated soil, rock, stone, gravel, brick, block, concrete and used asphalt as clean fill when they are kept separate from other waste, and clean fill sits outside the municipal waste rules that govern a mixed load. Keep a hard load clean and it is handled differently and usually priced better. Mix one bag of household trash into it and the whole container becomes municipal waste. That single decision moves a Hazleton price more than almost anything else, and your account manager will plan the sort with you.

Choose on volume, then check the weight, because older Hazleton material is dense. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for masonry, plaster, slate and soil. Those materials hit the weight ceiling with the container barely half full, so the smallest unit is the right and cheapest tool.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a single bathroom, a porch tear-off or a packed garage, and it is a good size for the narrow rear yards and alleys common in the older city blocks.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers a multi-room remodel or a full house cleanout. It is the size placed most often on Hazleton jobs that have a driveway or a side lot to work with.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles a whole-floor gut, a new build, or a commercial fit-out where the debris is bulky and mixed.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is built for demolition and sustained construction, where volume rather than weight is the limit.
Tell your account manager the age of the building as well as the size of the job, and they will steer you to the right unit.
Start on private ground if you can: a driveway or an off-street lot avoids the conditions the City attaches to a sidewalk or street placement. But Hazleton is unusual in that its dumpster rules are written as their own part of the City code, and the permit sentence is not limited to the right-of-way. It says a permit to place dumpsters or construction containers in the City must be obtained by whoever wants to place one. On the face of it that reaches a driveway too, so the safe move on any Hazleton job is to ask first.
The permit comes from the City of Hazleton Office of Code Enforcement, now on the third floor of City Hall, and the code says approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, which is a helpful piece of drafting for a customer. Call Code Enforcement at 570-459-4925, Monday to Friday, 8:30 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. No permit runs longer than a year, and if the container ends up in a metered space the City charges the meter value on top.
For a sidewalk or street placement the City sets five conditions. The container needs a reflector at least six inches across on each side so it is visible at night. It has to be sound and self-supporting. It cannot block traffic or be loaded so the contents spill. It must be marked with the owner's name and telephone number. And it must not create odors or a fire risk. On top of that, nothing may sit within ten feet of a fire hydrant, a fire lane or a structure without the Fire Chief's approval, and that ten-foot clearance from any building catches more city lots than people expect.
Two more duties fall on us rather than on you. Hazleton gives the lessor three days to empty a full container once you ask, and it makes the container's owner repair any damage to the street or sidewalk within ten days of removal. Your account manager tracks both and will find you the right contact at the City.
Normal building debris loads without trouble: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, carpet and general cleanout material.
The City adds a separation duty that most places leave to the hauler. In Hazleton it is a violation to put construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste or a lead acid battery into mixed household waste, bulky waste or recyclables. So the remodel material has to be kept out of the household stream, which is exactly what a container does for you.
Hazardous material stays out in every case: paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, asbestos, pesticides and anything holding refrigerant. Lead acid batteries have their own route to a retailer, a wholesaler or an authorized recycling facility, and electronics are handled separately as well.
Tires and large appliances are priced on their own at most receiving sites, so tell your account manager about them at the booking stage instead of letting them become an overage.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Hazleton controls the destination rather than leaving it open. A licensed collector may only take municipal waste gathered in the city to the disposal facility designated under Luzerne County's own contract, and the City works with the Hazleton City Authority to make sure collectors keep to the County's waste management plan. The County keeps that arrangement under contract, so we confirm the current destination with the City and the County before a container is delivered.
There is no publicly run landfill or transfer station in Luzerne County that we can point you to, which means a Hazleton load goes to a privately operated facility and the gate charge there sets the floor under your disposal cost.
One statewide rule shapes the trip. Pennsylvania requires a waste transportation authorization for trucks hauling municipal or residual waste, and the receiving facility is barred from accepting a load from a vehicle that does not carry a valid sticker. Clean fill is exempt from that regime. Your account manager confirms both the destination and the paperwork, and will tell you whether your material qualifies as clean fill.
Most Hazleton rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the City expects a permit, build a few days of lead time into a first placement.
These five habits keep a Hazleton delivery smooth:
Keep the City's collection hours in mind too. Hazleton allows waste collection work Monday through Saturday between 3:00 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon unless the City approves an exception, so an afternoon call usually means a next-morning swap rather than a same-day one.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster works across Hazleton and the Greater Hazleton communities around it, from the older blocks on Broad Street and Alter Street out to the newer development near the Route 924 and Interstate 81 interchange and the surrounding Luzerne County boroughs. Whether the job is a kitchen in a century-old row house or a warehouse fit-out, we arrange the container, the haul and the disposal around your build.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, plan the sort if a clean load will save you money, and give you a firm price on the call.
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.
Hazleton rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. The material you load, your tonnage and the gate charge at the receiving facility all move the final figure. Your account manager settles the included weight and the overage rate at booking.
For a Hazleton remodel, renting almost always costs less. Hauling plaster and masonry yourself means repeat trips in a loaded pickup, a charge at each gate, fuel both ways and a weekend gone. One container takes it all in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. With furniture and soft goods you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, asbestos, pesticides, lead acid batteries and anything holding refrigerant all stay out. Hazleton also bars mixing construction debris into household waste or recyclables, so keep the two streams apart. Tires and large appliances are priced separately, so mention them early.
Our smallest Hazleton unit, the 10-yard, opens at $399 to $499. On an older Hazleton house it is often the smart choice as well, because plaster, brick and slate are heavy enough that a bigger container of the same material would simply run into overage charges.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the price is built around the haul and the weight rather than the number of days. If your container sits on a Hazleton sidewalk, though, shorter is better, since the City expects a full unit to be emptied within three days of your request.
Wood, drywall, plaster and lath, roofing including slate, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout junk are all fine. Clean brick, block, concrete and uncontaminated soil are accepted too and are treated as clean fill when kept separate. Anything out of the ordinary, put it to your account manager first.
