At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals throughout Hoboken, New Jersey, and the rest of the Hudson County waterfront in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Brownstone gut renovations, condo conversions, roof and facade work on the old row buildings, and construction along the Washington Street corridor all run through containers in a city with almost no spare ground.
Your price depends on the size you need, the weight of the debris, how long the container stays, and the street permit that nearly every Hoboken job requires. Below you will find size guidance, the City's container permit in plain words, the weekend rule that catches people out, and what cannot go in.

Size comes first, and in Hoboken the limit is usually the street rather than the volume. A 20-yard container occupies about the length of two parked cars, which is why we ask about the block before we quote.
Weight is the second factor. Plaster, lath, brick, and old tile from a row-house gut are dense, so the weight allowance runs out long before the container looks full. Framing, cabinets, and drywall behave the opposite way.
The street permit is the third, and it is specific to Hoboken. The City charges for a container on a public street or sidewalk in two parts, a flat charge for the first 48 hours and then a smaller charge for every day after that, so the permit cost grows with each day the container stays out there. A placement on private ground avoids that entirely, so it is worth hunting for a courtyard or a loading area first.
Last comes the haul. Hoboken does not collect construction debris, so every load leaves the city privately, and the distance to a permitted receiving facility is built into the quote by your account manager.

Work backwards from the space you can actually hold, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster runs five container sizes across Hoboken.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container and the one that fits a tight Hoboken block best. It is also the right call for plaster, brick, and tile, which reach the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a single-room gut, a bathroom and kitchen done together, or flooring stripped from a floor-through apartment. It is the usual compromise when the 10 is too small and the street is narrow.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a full brownstone renovation or a multi-unit turnover. It needs a real stretch of curb or a yard, so confirm the spot before you book it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a studs-out job or a builder on a larger site. It is rarely practical on a residential street in Hoboken and usually goes on private ground.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is used on commercial and demolition work with the room to take it, mostly on the western and waterfront sites.
Describe the block and the project to your account manager and they will tell you which size will actually work there.
On private property in Hoboken you need no City permit. A container in a private driveway, a rear yard, a parking pad, or a fenced construction site is yours to place, which is the simplest route in Hoboken when you can find the space.
On a public street or sidewalk you need a permit before the container arrives, and Hoboken is unusually precise about it. The City requires a demolition container permit from the Department of Transportation and Parking for any dumpster or container on a public street or sidewalk, issued for a stated period and for one container at one place. The charge is set for the first 48 hours and then runs by the day, and a copy of the permit has to stay displayed on the container so it can be read from the sidewalk. Your account manager will get the current figure from the City before you commit to a date.
Two details in that permit matter more than the fee. First, the weekend: a container is not allowed on a Hoboken street or sidewalk after 5:00 p.m. on Friday or before 10:00 a.m. on Monday unless the Director of Transportation and Parking has written permission into the permit. Plan a Friday pickup or ask for that permission in advance. Second, the placement rules: no closer than 25 feet to an intersection or crosswalk, no closer than six inches to the curb, filled no higher than four inches from the top, covered between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and in transit, and the ground around it cleaned when it goes. The City can also set temporary no-parking for the container and for one space in front and one behind, within its own time limits.
For the permit itself, contact the Department of Transportation and Parking. For street or sidewalk opening work, the Office of the City Engineer handles the separate sidewalk and road opening permits and can be reached on 201-420-2000, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Your account manager will confirm which permit your spot needs and get it moving before we schedule the truck.
Ordinary Hoboken renovation and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from New Jersey's hazardous rules and from the City's own list.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a standard container. Hoboken treats non-latex paint, varnish, turpentine, and pesticides as household hazardous waste with their own route through the county's twice-yearly drop-off dates, not the container.
Latex paint is a Hoboken-specific case worth knowing. An empty or fully dried can goes out with regular garbage, a half-full can can be dried out with cat litter or newspaper, and a can more than half full goes to the City's recycling site rather than into your container.
Ammunition, firearms, and anything resembling ordnance are referred to the City's public safety office and never go in a container.
Containers also have to stay covered overnight in Hoboken and cannot be filled above four inches from the rim, so overfilling is a compliance problem as well as a safety one. Your account manager will tell you if your projected volume needs a swap rather than a heap.
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's own public drop-off is the Hoboken Recycling Center at 1501 Madison Street, Hoboken, NJ, open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, reachable on 201-420-2000. It takes resident recyclables, leaf bags, and part-used latex paint.
What it does not take is your job. The City states plainly that construction and demolition waste, with sheet rock, concrete, and treated lumber given as the examples, is not collected by the City of Hoboken and must be hauled privately. That is the clearest statement in the code or on the City site that this market is open to a private hauler, and it is why a container is the route for a gut renovation rather than curbside collection.
Container loads from Hoboken therefore go out of the city to a state-approved receiving facility across the Hudson County district, which is also where the City sends its own contracted stream. Every container carries the state-assigned identification number and the responsible party's name, address, and phone, along with a reflector and a reflective stripe at each end, because New Jersey and the City both require it.
Your account manager confirms the receiving facility for your material and the charge that applies to it before the container is delivered.
1501 Madison Street, Hoboken, NJ
City drop-off open weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon. It takes no construction debris.
Most Hoboken rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container is going on the street, add time for the permit, because it has to be in hand before delivery rather than after.
Five things that keep a Hoboken delivery on schedule:
Because the permit is priced by the day and the weekend is restricted, a shorter rental on the street often beats a longer one. Your account manager will work out which is cheaper for your job.

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.
A 10-yard container in Hoboken runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. A street placement adds the City's own per-day permit charge on top, and the weight of your debris moves the rest. Your Hoboken account manager sets out the included tonnage and the overage rate at the quoting stage.
In Hoboken it is not really a choice. The City collects no construction debris and its recycling site is a resident drop-off, so a renovation has to be hauled privately whatever you do. A container does it in one trip instead of many, with one disposal charge.
Yes. In a Hoboken apartment a three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will run out of room well before the weight allowance runs out.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a Hoboken container. Non-latex paint, varnish, turpentine, and pesticides are household hazardous waste and have their own county drop-off route. Firearms and ammunition go to the City's public safety office instead.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and it is also the easiest to permit on a narrow street. It stays the cheapest only if the material suits it, since plaster, brick, and tile can pass the weight limit in a small container and add an overage charge.
Three days normally costs the same as five for the container itself, because the price follows the job and the disposal. On the street, though, the City's permit runs by the day, so a shorter rental genuinely costs less there. Ask your Hoboken account manager to price the short and the long option side by side.
Plaster, lath, wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout debris are all allowed in Hoboken. Clean concrete and brick are accepted as well and often cost less in their own container. Anything unusual out of a Hoboken brownstone is worth checking with your account manager before it goes in.
