At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Henderson, Kentucky, and the surrounding Henderson County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Remodeling work on the older housing near the downtown grid, farm and outbuilding clearouts in the county, and steady construction on the south and east edges of town all keep containers in demand here.
Your cost comes down to the size you choose, how heavy the load is, how long you keep the container, and what the City charges by the ton at its own facility. That last one is the good news in Henderson, because the rates are published, and below you will find them along with the City's placement rules, what cannot go in the load, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Henderson is one of the clearer markets to quote, because the City publishes what it charges to take your material.
Container size comes first. A 20-yard unit covers most whole-house work, and stepping up a size costs less than a second haul out to the job.
Weight matters more here than in many towns, because the City charges construction material at a different rate from household trash. Its construction and demolition station takes material from a Henderson County business at $85.00 per ton with a $15.00 minimum, while household trash from a commercial account is $58.00 per ton with a $12.00 minimum. Rates are prorated every 400 pounds, so there is no rounding up to the next ton.
Where your material comes from matters too. The same rate list prices an out-of-county construction load at $124.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum, against the $85.00 in-county rate, so a job inside Henderson County is genuinely cheaper to finish than one just over the line.
And keeping the load sorted pays. The City runs two separate stations on the same site, and a mixed load may be sent to both: its page says that if you have a mixed load you may be instructed by the gate operator to unload at both locations. Two clean containers often beat one mixed one, and your account manager will say when that applies.

Work out the volume, then check the weight, because the City prices construction material by the ton. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right unit for dense material. Broken concrete, brick, block and soil reach the weight ceiling with the container part full, so the smallest size keeps the ticket down.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom gut, a porch rebuild or a crowded garage, and it drops neatly on a single-width Henderson driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most common placement in Henderson. It takes a multi-room remodel or a full house cleanout without crowding a residential lot.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for larger work: a whole-floor renovation, a new house, or a commercial project generating bulky mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and handles demolition, industrial cleanouts and sustained construction where volume is the constraint.
Describe the material as well as the rooms to your account manager, and they will tell you whether one container or two will cost you less.
On private property, a driveway or a job site you control, Henderson does not put a container permit in your way. Keeping the unit off the public way is the simplest route, and it is what we aim for on every booking.
If the container has to sit on a street, alley, sidewalk or any part of the public right-of-way, the City's rules change. A temporary or removable obstruction in the right-of-way needs the written approval of the City Manager, and the code is drafted broadly enough that a container counts. Without that approval the City can serve notice, give fifteen calendar days to clear it, then remove it and bill the property owner, or issue a citation heard in district court. An appeal goes back to the City Manager, whose written decision is final.
Downtown is stricter again. Inside the Central Business District no trash, junk or refuse of any kind may be stored on a street or sidewalk at all, with no approval route offered, so a job in the downtown core needs an off-street spot.
For placement questions, call the City of Henderson Solid Waste office at 270-854-2064. It is at 1449 Corporate Court and is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. The Municipal Center switchboard is 270-831-1200. Your account manager will find the right person and get the approval in hand before we schedule the drop.
Kentucky publishes no single statewide banned-materials list. Control runs through the class of landfill a load can go to, and construction and demolition debris is its own class with its own site, which is why the City operates two stations side by side.
The practical list comes from the City's own gate. Henderson will not take tires, batteries, oil, paint, chemicals or any free-flowing liquid, and it will not take air conditioners or refrigerators. The City's own guidance adds that a refrigerator or freezer is accepted only once the freon has been removed by a licensed technician.
Hazardous waste and asbestos stay out of a container in every case, and so do solvents and fuel.
Tires and appliances need their own route rather than a place in your load, so mention them when you book and your account manager will sort out where they go instead of letting them get the whole container turned away at the scales.
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.
Henderson is unusual and it works in your favor: the City owns and runs the facility that takes your load. The Landfill Transfer Station sits at 790 Wolf Hills Road, Henderson, KY 42420, and its office number is 270-826-1067.
It is open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon, and the City is specific about the cut-off: all loads must be in the gate by 3:15 and out of the facility by 3:30. It is closed Sundays and on City holidays, and hours can shift during holiday weeks.
The construction and demolition side takes all types of non-hazardous construction material, plus wood furniture, tree limbs and yard waste. The transfer station side takes regular household trash, mattresses, carpet and cushioned furniture. Both sides take cards as well as cash and checks.
The City also closes the question of where a load may go: it is unlawful to bury or dump garbage or refuse of any kind anywhere inside the city except at the City's own transfer station and residual landfill. That keeps the trip short, which is part of why Henderson prices well. Your account manager confirms the destination and the ticket before delivery.

City run. Open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with all loads in the gate by 3:15 p.m.
Most Henderson rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out gives you time to settle the drop spot and, if the container has to go in the right-of-way, to get the City Manager's approval.
Five things that make a Henderson delivery go smoothly:
Plan around the gate as well. Because the City facility closes at 3:30 in the afternoon and does not open on Sundays, a container filled late on a Saturday is normally hauled the following week.

Prime Dumpster serves Henderson and the Henderson County communities around it, from the older streets near the riverfront and Audubon Mill Park out along the US-41 corridor and the farms and outbuildings in the surrounding county.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the material, work out whether sorting saves you money at the City scales, and quote you 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.
Henderson rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. What you load matters, because the City charges construction material and household trash at different rates per ton. Your account manager confirms your included weight and overage rate up front.
The City facility is free for Henderson city and county households with proof of residency, so a very small job can be a self-haul. Once you are into a remodel it flips: you pay per ton as a business, every trip costs fuel and hours, and one container covers it in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Cushioned furniture is bulky but light, so volume runs out well before weight does.
Henderson's own facility refuses tires, batteries, oil, paint, chemicals and any free-flowing liquid, plus air conditioners and refrigerators unless the freon has been removed by a licensed technician. Hazardous waste, solvents, fuel and asbestos stay out of a container everywhere. Flag tires and appliances when you book.
Henderson's lowest starting price belongs to the 10-yard unit, $399 to $499. It is also often the better value on heavy work, because the City bills construction material by weight and prorates every 400 pounds, so keeping dense material in a small dedicated container avoids overage on a larger one.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the number of days. The weight of what you load changes your bill far more than the length of the rental. Get the included weight from your account manager before the container arrives.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpet and general cleanout material are all fine. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too, and the City's construction station takes all types of non-hazardous construction material. Anything unusual, clear it with your account manager before loading.
