At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Independence, Missouri, and the eastern Jackson County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Independence has a deep stock of mid-century ranch homes getting new roofs, kitchens, and basements, plus steady commercial construction along 39th Street and the I-70 corridor, and all of that work makes debris faster than a curbside cart can handle.
Four things set your price: the container size, the weight and kind of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal charge where the load lands. Below you'll find price ranges, the city's right-of-way rules, what the state keeps out of landfills, and where your debris actually goes.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
A handful of factors decide what you pay in Independence, and the container size is the first.
Weight is the second, and roofing is the local example. A single layer of shingles off an average Independence ranch can run several tons, which is why a 10-yard or 15-yard container often beats a bigger one for a tear-off. Concrete, brick, and tile behave the same way.
The third is the trip to the scale. Independence has no landfill inside the city limits, so every load leaves town. Most general debris heads for the sanitary landfill at Sugar Creek just to the north, and clean construction debris can go to the demolition landfill over at Blue Springs. Different sites, different rates.
The fourth is how your debris is sorted. A mixed load is priced as mixed. Keeping clean concrete or clean wood separate can land it at a cheaper gate, and your account manager can tell you when that's worth doing.
Doing it yourself is an option for very small jobs. The city's own Drop-Off Depot charges $30.00 for a car and $40.00 for a pickup, but it opens only one Saturday a month from April through October, and only for residents with household loads.

Match the size to your volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries 10 to 40 yard containers.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the best pick for dense material. Bathroom tear-outs, small concrete removals, and brick or dirt jobs all fit here, because heavy debris tops out the weight limit well before the walls fill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the local favorite for a single-layer roof tear-off or a packed two-car garage. It gives you more room than a 10 without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers the full house cleanout and the multi-room remodel. It's the most requested size for residential work in Independence and still fits on most driveways here.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, large basement finishes, and new construction. Reach for it when the debris is high in volume but not especially heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It handles commercial demolition, warehouse cleanouts, and large-scale construction that produces a steady stream of debris.
Caught between two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they'll tell you which one actually costs less.
Set the container on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, and Independence generally won't ask for a permit. The rule changes once any part of it sits in the public right-of-way.
That strip is wider than people expect. The city's own guidance is that the right-of-way runs about 11 feet back from the edge of the pavement, which can take in the grass strip and part of the sidewalk. For a precise line you would need to check Jackson County property records or have the lot surveyed.
If the container lands in that strip, you need a Right-of-Way Permit from the City of Independence. Applications go through the city's online permitting portal, and the right-of-way office answers questions at 816-325-7617. The city is clear that it controls how that strip is used and that obstructions placed there are not allowed without approval.
One more thing worth knowing. Independence licenses the companies that collect waste in the city, and the City Council signs off on each one. Your account manager can confirm how that rule applies to your job and get you to the right city contact before delivery.
Most house and job-site debris is welcome. The limits come from Missouri law and from what each disposal site will take.
Missouri keeps four things out of landfills statewide: major appliances, whole tires, oil, and lead-acid batteries. The state's list of banned items counts refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, trash compactors, and water heaters as major appliances. Microwaves came off that list in 2002 and can go in a regular load. Tire shops have to take back the tires they replace, so that's the easy route for those.
Hazardous material is out as well: paint, cleaners, drain openers, pool chemicals, pesticides, fertilizer, antifreeze, gasoline, propane tanks, and sealed drums. Anything with asbestos in it needs a licensed abatement contractor, not a container.
Televisions and computer monitors are their own problem. The city turns them away at its drop-off site, and you should pull them out before the container arrives.
Got something you can't place on that list? Check with your account manager before you load it.
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 of Independence states it plainly: there are no landfills in Independence. Every container that leaves a job here crosses a city line before it gets weighed.
Most mixed household and remodel debris goes north to the sanitary landfill at Sugar Creek, which is the only operating sanitary landfill in Jackson County on the state's list. Clean construction and demolition debris has a second option, the county's demolition landfill out at Blue Springs, which takes material like concrete, brick, wood, and shingles.
For small household loads, the city runs its own site. The Drop-Off Depot sits at 875 S. Vista Ave, a mile east of M-291 on Truman Road, and it opens 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month from April through October. It's for Independence residents with household loads only, no commercial waste, and it takes cash or a local check.
Because each site prices differently, the destination shows up on your bill. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and what that means before the truck is scheduled.
875 S. Vista Ave, Independence, MO 64056
City-run drop-off, open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, April through October.
Most Independence orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with the driver arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out gives you room to sort the drop spot and any permit, and it usually costs less.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Weather is the local wildcard. Ice and heavy spring storms can close streets in the older hilly parts of town, so build a spare day into a winter or spring schedule.

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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899 for a standard five-day rental. What you load and which landfill takes it also move the number, since nothing is disposed of inside the city. Your account manager confirms the tonnage and overage rate at booking.
For most jobs, renting costs less. The city drop-off opens one Saturday a month, takes residents only, and charges by the vehicle, so a real cleanout means several trips over several months. One container takes the whole job at once, on your own timeline.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a recliner, a mattress, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you run out of space long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out appliances, whole tires, oil, and lead-acid batteries, all four banned from Missouri landfills. Paint, cleaners, pool chemicals, pesticides, antifreeze, gasoline, propane tanks, and sealed drums are out too. Televisions and computer monitors need a recycler. Tell your account manager about anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Weight decides the rest. Load it with shingles, concrete, or tile and you can pass the included tonnage quickly, which adds overage charges. Putting dense material in its own load usually works out cheaper overall.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the rental is priced by the job rather than the day. The weight of your load matters far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container shows up.
Most home and job-site debris is fine: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are accepted as well, and they often cost less when kept in their own load. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
