At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Huntsville, Texas, and the surrounding Walker County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Sam Houston State University turns over housing every year, the older streets near downtown keep remodelers working, and new construction along the Interstate 45 corridor means contractors here order containers on a regular cycle.
What you pay depends on container size, debris weight, how long you keep the container, and what the city's transfer station charges to take the load. Below you will find our price ranges, the city rules that apply to a container in Huntsville, and what the transfer station will turn away.

Huntsville has one feature that shapes pricing more than most towns: the city runs the facility that takes your load.
Container size is still the first lever. Going one size up almost always costs less than ordering a second haul later in the week.
Debris weight is the second, and here it is measured precisely. Every vehicle is weighed on the way in and again on the way out, so your disposal charge reflects actual tons rather than an estimate.
The city's own rate is the third. Disposal starts at a $15.00 minimum inside the city limits and a $20.00 minimum outside them, with tires priced separately, under rates the city set effective October 2025.
The fourth is sorting. Huntsville inspects loads, and concrete needs approval ahead of time before the station will take it. Keeping a clean, single-material load is genuinely cheaper here. Your account manager can walk you through all four.

Pick for the heaviest thing you are throwing away, not just the biggest pile.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It suits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a small yard job. It is also the right choice for brick and block, since dense material reaches the weight limit long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size work like a garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof job.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common pick for Huntsville homes and student rentals. A full-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel fits comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new builds, and demolition work that makes a lot of mixed material.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for commercial construction, big demolition jobs, and industrial cleanouts.
Because Huntsville charges by weight at the gate, the right size can also be the cheaper size. Describe the job to your Prime Dumpster account manager and they will size it with the disposal cost in mind.
A container on private property, such as a driveway or a fenced site, does not need a street permit in Huntsville. The city's rule here is different from most places, though, because it attaches to the container itself rather than to the ground under it.
Under the city's roll-off policy, every roll-off container used in Huntsville has to carry a City of Huntsville sticker permanently attached to it, and the container may only be set for construction or demolition debris removal once the application is approved and the fees are paid. The city charges $100 per container for that sticker each fiscal year, and the fee is not prorated. The company placing the container also has to hold liability insurance of $100,000 for each accident involving injury or property damage. An unstickered container is a city code violation and draws a fine from the municipal court.
This is a supplier-side requirement, not something you file yourself, but it is worth knowing why you cannot simply borrow a container from out of town for a Huntsville job.
The Solid Waste Division handles the stickers from the transfer station office at 590 Interstate 45 North. Call 936-294-5712, Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For street or lane questions, the Public Works Department is at 936-294-5707 on weekdays. Your account manager will confirm how the sticker rule applies to your booking before delivery.
Most construction and cleanout debris is welcome, and Huntsville publishes its refusals plainly.
The transfer station will not take regulated hazardous waste, PCBs, lead acid batteries, liquid waste, regulated asbestos material, Class 1 industrial solid waste, or medical waste. Paint, fuel, solvents, and oil fall under the same hazardous limits.
Concrete is the one that surprises contractors. The station needs prior approval before a load of concrete arrives, so a slab or footing tear-out has to be planned rather than just thrown in.
Tires are handled separately and carry their own charge, and the city applies tire fees to any tires found inside a container load.
The city also inspects loads, and anything the station will not accept has to be taken back out by the company that hauled it. Keeping a clean load is in everyone's interest. The city's own curbside service refuses bricks, concrete blocks, concrete, dirt, rocks, paint, oil, batteries, car parts, large metal objects, and lumber or leavings from construction or remodeling, which is exactly why a container is the normal answer for a remodel here.
If you are not sure about an item, ask your account manager 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.
Huntsville loads go to the City of Huntsville Solid Waste Transfer Station Facility at 590 Interstate 45 N, Huntsville, TX 77320. The city's Solid Waste Disposal Division runs it, and the city describes it as the collection point for municipal waste from the city, the state prison system, the university, and other parts of Walker County. From there the material is loaded into tractor-trailers and taken on to a landfill in Montgomery County.
The facility is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but the cut-offs matter more than the closing time. The last load from a trailer has to arrive by 4:30 p.m., the last load from a vehicle without a trailer by 4:45 p.m., and all unloading has to be finished by 5 p.m. Closed-toe shoes are required to enter.
Every load that enters has to be secured so nothing can blow out or spill, and the city says offenders may be reported to law enforcement. Vehicles are weighed in and weighed out, and the attendant takes payment at that point by cash, local check, or credit card.
Because the city owns the gate, the charge on your invoice follows the city's published rates. Your account manager will confirm the destination and the expected disposal cost before your delivery date.
590 Interstate 45 N, Huntsville, TX 77320
City-run site, open Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a 4:30 p.m. trailer cut-off.
Most Huntsville rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little notice helps in August and May, when student housing turns over and demand spikes.
These five habits make delivery day go smoothly:
Those cut-offs are the real scheduling constraint here. A container collected late in the afternoon may not reach the gate before 4:30 p.m., and the facility is closed on Sunday, so a Saturday finish often means a Monday haul.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Huntsville, from the neighborhoods around the university and the downtown square out to Highway 75, Highway 30, and the properties along the Interstate 45 frontage. We also cover the wider Walker County communities outside the city limits, where the city's transfer station still takes the load at its outside-the-city rate.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, sort out the city's container requirements, and give you a clear number 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.
Huntsville rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Debris weight matters a lot here, because the city weighs every load in and out at its transfer station. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and overage rate up front.
For most jobs a rental is cheaper. Hauling it yourself means paying a minimum charge at the gate on every trip, plus fuel and a truck or trailer, and the facility closes to trailers at 4:30 p.m. One container handles the whole job and gets weighed once.
Yes, with room left over. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a few chairs, and boxes. Furniture fills volume long before it reaches the weight limit, so plan for space rather than tons.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquid waste, asbestos material, lead acid batteries, PCBs, and medical waste, all of which the transfer station refuses. Tires carry their own charge. Concrete needs the city's approval before the load arrives, so tell us if you have any.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Since disposal here is weighed precisely, the cheapest outcome usually comes from matching material to container. Brick, tile, and dirt in their own small load beat a mixed container that goes over its weight allowance.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, because the price covers delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than calendar time. Weight is what moves the number. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs.
Nearly all construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean brick and asphalt are accepted too. Concrete is the exception that needs clearance first, so check with your account manager before loading it.
