At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Jacksonville, North Carolina, and the surrounding Onslow County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Rental turnovers tied to the base, roof and siding repairs after coastal storms, and steady construction along Western Boulevard and out toward Richlands keep containers moving here for homeowners and contractors.
What you pay comes down to the container size, how heavy the load is, how long you keep it, and the county's rate at the scale. Below you will find our price ranges, the rule for a container in a city street, what the state keeps out of a landfill, and exactly where your debris goes.

Jacksonville is one of the places where sorting a load changes the bill in a visible way, so it is worth starting there.
Onslow County charges $60 per ton for mixed construction and demolition debris, and $34 per ton for clean yard waste, brick, rock, concrete, untreated wood, and uncontaminated dirt. Same truck, same trip, roughly half the rate. Keeping the clean material in its own container is usually the single biggest saving available on a Jacksonville job.
Size comes next. A bigger container costs more up front and still beats paying for a second haul when the first one fills early.
Weight does the rest. Shingles, brick, mortar, and slab are dense, so a small container loaded with them reaches its tonnage while it still looks half empty.
Local rules round it out. A container on your own driveway is simple. One that occupies a city street needs the City's written approval first. Your account manager will sort the placement and the destination with you before the truck is scheduled.

Pick from two things: how much debris, and how heavy. We rent five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest. It fits a single bathroom, a small shed teardown, or a modest cleanout, and it is the right pick for brick, block, and concrete, which hit the weight cap early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a room taken back to the studs, a small roof tear-off, or carpet and tile pulled from a few rooms at once.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a Jacksonville house. A full cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or storm debris mixed with household items all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a gut renovation, or a new build, where a crew needs room to keep loading for a week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial tear-outs, demolition, and high-volume cleanouts where bulk rather than weight runs out first.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and let them choose.
On private property, your driveway or a job site inside the property line, no city permit applies to the container.
A street, alley, sidewalk, or other public place is different. City rules make it unlawful to do work there that could create a dangerous condition without first getting a written permit from the director of public works, and a bond can be required with it. The permit has to name the location and the extent of the work, and the city expects notice to its police communications center a full day before anything starts.
City rules separately bar placing an injurious obstruction in a public street, so this is not a case where you can set the container down and sort out the paperwork later. Get the approval before the delivery date.
The Streets Division is the place to start, at 910-938-5333, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No fee or review time is published for this permit. If you are not sure whether your drop spot is private ground or city right-of-way, your account manager can help you work that out and reach the right person.
Most construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from North Carolina's landfill disposal bans and from how Onslow County splits its material.
The state keeps a long list out of its landfills: scrap tires, white goods such as stoves and refrigerators, computers and televisions, lead-acid batteries, used oil and oil filters, antifreeze, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, oyster shells, wooden pallets, and yard trash. Lithium-ion batteries join that list at the end of 2026, and the City already says it will not take them at all. Fluorescent tubes and mercury thermostats are barred from construction debris landfills on top of that.
Hazardous waste belongs nowhere near a container. The City's own definition covers cleaning fluids, crankcase and cutting oils, paint, solvents, explosives, acids, caustics, poisons, pesticides, and anything radioactive or infectious.
Separation matters more here than in most markets, because the county sends different materials to different landfills. The City says so plainly about its own loaner trailer: yard waste, household junk, and construction material cannot travel together because they are buried in different places. The same logic applies to a rented container, and it is also why the clean rate is so much lower.
Televisions and monitors carry a per-item charge rather than a weight charge, and asbestos is a separate, much more expensive stream. Ask your account manager before anything unusual 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.
Loads from Jacksonville go to Onslow County Solid Waste at 415 Meadowview Road, Jacksonville, NC 28540. The county runs it, and the scale is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office takes calls at 910-989-2107.
The county runs the landfill as a self-funding operation, which is its own way of saying the rate at the scale is what pays for it. Construction debris and household waste both go in at $60 per ton, clean rubble and yard material at $34, and asbestos at $90. The minimum charge covers anything up to a hundred pounds.
One more thing to plan for. Commercial drivers and anyone riding with them have to wear a reflective vest or shirt when they are near the heavy equipment, and the county fines people who do not. Your account manager will confirm the destination and what the disposal charge adds before delivery.
415 Meadowview Road, Jacksonville, NC 28540
County-run landfill, open Monday through Saturday 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Most Jacksonville orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of lead time helps, mostly so a street permit and the drop spot are settled first.
Five habits that keep a delivery smooth:
The county scale is open six days a week, which is unusually generous, so a Saturday fill can still be hauled the same week. It closes on Sunday, so plan a weekend push accordingly.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding parts of Onslow County, from downtown and Northwoods to the Brynn Marr and Carolina Forest neighborhoods, the Western Boulevard corridor, and out toward Richlands, Swansboro, and Hubert. Whether the job is one bathroom or a full teardown, we arrange the drop, the pickup, and the run to the county landfill around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the work, tell you whether splitting the load saves you money, and quote a firm 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Where you land depends on size, how heavy the load is, and whether it goes in as clean rubble or mixed construction debris. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Beyond a load or two, the container is cheaper. Self-hauling means a weight charge at the scale on every trip, plus fuel and most of a morning, and the county also expects a reflective vest from commercial drivers. One container clears the job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With bulky furniture you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and asbestos. North Carolina also bars tires, appliances, computers and televisions, batteries, used oil, oil filters, pallets, and yard trash from its landfills. The City does not take lithium batteries at all.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. Weight decides the rest. Brick and broken slab can pass the included tonnage quickly, and keeping clean rubble in its own load also drops the county rate, so two loads sometimes beat one.
Three days usually costs what five days costs, because the price is built around the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves your bill much more than days do. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before delivery.
Most home and job-site debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, windows, doors, furniture, carpet, and general cleanout junk. Clean brick, block, concrete, and untreated wood are accepted as well and cost noticeably less in their own load. Check unusual items with your account manager.
