At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Herndon, Virginia, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards, from the historic blocks around Elden Street and the W&OD trail out to the Sugarland Run and Dulles edges. Herndon is an incorporated town inside Fairfax County, which gives it two layers of rules rather than one, and the work here runs from townhouse and condominium refurbishment to office and data center construction on the western side.
Your price follows container size, the weight of the load, the rental length and the disposal charge at the county facility. Two local rules matter more than the rest: Herndon's street rules are unusually firm, and the county scheme that governs commercial waste contains one line that decides what paperwork a one-off container actually needs.

Three things shape a Herndon quote, and the first is a county rule about what may share a container.
Fairfax County requires construction and demolition debris to travel separately: it cannot be collected in the same container as household-type waste or recyclables. So a job that generates both needs two containers or two staged loads, and knowing that at the quote stage is what stops a surprise at the gate.
The second is the placement surface. The Town requires bulk containers to stand on concrete, asphalt or a similar durable and impervious surface, accessible by truck. On a gravel driveway or a grass verge that is a pre-delivery question, and the answer is usually plywood or a prepared pad rather than a cancelled delivery.
The third is weight. Herndon townhouse refits produce tile, plaster and old cast iron, and condominium turnovers produce a lot of carpet and cabinetry. Dense material reaches its weight allowance well before the container looks full, so your account manager prices the material rather than the volume.

Pick for the material, then check the pad, because the surface rule bites here more than in most towns.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right container for tile, brick, concrete or soil, where weight runs out first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom strip-out, a garage clearing or a single townhouse turnover.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for a roof tear-off or a remodel spanning several rooms, and it fits a two-car townhouse pad.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles a whole-house renovation or an office strip-out producing partitions, ceiling grid and carpet together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is normally a commercial container here, for high-volume light debris.
Tell your account manager what the job produces and what the ground is like where it will sit, and they will match the container to both and flag whether the surface needs preparing.
On private property there is no Herndon container permit, but there is a condition, and it is the one most customers have never heard. The Town requires bulk containers to be set on concrete, asphalt or a similar durable and impervious surface and to be accessible by truck. On a paved driveway that is satisfied already. On gravel, grass or a soft verge it needs solving before delivery day.
The street is a harder question in Herndon than in most towns. The town rules bar blocking a street or sidewalk with benches, cartons, barrels, carts, vehicles, goods or any other article or fixture at all. The only opening is a temporary street closing by the town council for other than public purposes. There is no container permit to apply for. Herndon's excavation permit covers breaking, digging up or opening a street, and a container set on the surface does none of those, so that is not a route either. The practical answer is a private spot, and your account manager will plan one with you.
On permits, Herndon hands the commercial question to the county. Its own rules say that commercial and industrial waste and recycling are governed by the Fairfax County waste chapter, apart from the town's storage, container and private-collection sections. The county scheme then says something useful. A certificate to operate is needed by anyone running regularly scheduled refuse collection. Anyone providing collection on an ad hoc basis needs the right disposal or special waste permit instead, and the county says in its own words that no certificate is required for that. A project container is ad hoc work, not a scheduled route. Your account manager settles which permit applies before you book.
Everyday construction and household debris is welcome here, and the local rules are mostly about keeping categories apart.
Nothing hazardous belongs in a standard container, so no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos. Tires need their own handling. Herndon also refuses infectious material, surgical dressing and dead animals from any collection, and sends automotive and rechargeable batteries and electronics to county recycling and disposal sites rather than into a container.
The separation rule is the one that shapes planning. In Fairfax County, construction and demolition debris cannot share a container with household-type waste or recyclables. A home cleanout that also involves knocking out a wall is therefore two loads rather than one, and it is cheaper to plan that than to discover it.
There is also a county rule on open-topped containers that is worth explaining plainly. The county bars open-top containers from collecting, storing or carrying refuse or other items that rot. Refuse there means a kind of household waste, not construction debris. The county also says its open-top limit on recyclables does not apply to construction and demolition debris collected for recycling. We read that as leaving a construction container in the clear and a household refuse container not. Your account manager will settle that question for your material ahead of the drop.
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.
Fairfax County owns and runs the disposal network that serves Herndon, with its own permit office on site, so the destination is a matter of public record.
Herndon's nearest site is the I-66 Transfer Station at 4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, reached on 703-631-1179. It takes trash and recycling on weekdays between 7 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon, and at weekends until 4. The permit office runs on weekdays from 8 until half past four, and household hazardous waste and electronics are accepted six days a week, closed Wednesdays.
The County also runs the I-95 Landfill Complex at Lorton, on 703-690-1703. If you are planning to drive there yourself, call first: the County has announced that the Furnace Road entrance permanently closed in October 2026 while still publishing that street address. For a container you do not need to worry about it, because the County's locations page carries current hours and your account manager confirms the destination and the receiving window before the container is delivered.
One duty sits with us rather than with you, and it is worth knowing about. The County wants every roll-off to carry safety reflectors on both sides and both ends. Every container of two cubic yards or more must be marked with the owner's name, phone number and the materials it may take. The Town adds the capacity in cubic yards, in letters at least two inches high.
4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030
Fairfax County facility. Trash and recycling Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Herndon rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The transfer station is close, so the limiting factor is almost always the placement rather than the haul.
Five things that keep a Herndon job moving:
Townhouse access is the local wrinkle. Where a pad is shared or reached through a narrow court, we often send a smaller container and collect twice rather than block a shared drive. Your account manager will raise that at the quote stage.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Herndon, from the Elden Street blocks and the trail corridor out through Sugarland Run, Dulles Park, Folly Lick and the Worldgate area, and we work the western Fairfax County corridor on the same daily runs. Leesburg sits close enough that we cover it on the same schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material, check the pad meets the Town's surface rule, split the load if the county separation rule applies, and confirm the destination before delivery.
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.
Expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, each on a five day period. Weight drives the final figure, and so does whether the job needs one container or two under the county separation rule. Your account manager agrees the tonnage allowance and the overage rate with you before the Herndon container is booked.
For a project, no. Town collection will not take construction debris, so self hauling means repeated runs to the county transfer station with a charge each time, and you still have to keep construction material out of the household load. One container handles it in a single arrangement.
Yes. A three seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and packed cartons. On a townhouse turnover that is a handy rule of thumb, because furniture uses volume rather than weight.
No liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos, and nothing else hazardous; tires go separately. In Herndon, batteries and electronics go to county recycling sites instead. Construction debris must also stay out of a container holding household waste or recyclables.
The 10-yard is our lowest, $399 to $499. On tile, brick, concrete or soil it is the correct container as well as the lowest priced, because dense material reaches its weight allowance while most of the space goes unfilled.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the delivery, the collection and the disposal rather than the nights on site. What the container holds matters far more than how long it stays. Put the tonnage question to your account manager while you are booking.
Framing, drywall, plaster, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture and cardboard all go in, along with the usual contents of a townhouse turnover. Clean concrete and brick are welcome, and a hard load on its own usually tips cheaper. Tell us about anything unexpected before the loading starts.
