At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Jamestown, Kentucky, and the wider Russell County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Jamestown sits on the north shore of Lake Cumberland, and lake property keeps crews busy with cabin construction, dock and deck work, roof replacements, and the kind of seasonal cleanout that fills a container quickly. Year-round homes in town add remodels and estate cleanouts to the mix.
Your cost here comes down to the container size, how heavy the load is, how long you keep it, and the cost of getting it to the county transfer station. Below are the price ranges, how the permit question works in a city this size, what the facility will not take, and how soon delivery can be arranged.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Size is the first lever. A bigger container costs more, but ordering one size too small is the expensive mistake, because it means either overage charges or paying for a second trip.
What you load is the second. Shingles, mortar, tile, and old concrete are dense enough to reach the weight allowance when the container still looks half full, so a small container is often the right answer for heavy debris. Name any tires or appliances when you call, since those are usually priced per piece.
Rural geography is the third, and it matters more here than in a big city. Loads from Jamestown travel to the county transfer station over on Landfill Road, and the haul distance is part of what you are paying for. That is also why self-hauling a rural job rarely saves what people expect.
Finally, the schedule plays a part. The transfer station keeps weekday hours only, so a container filled on a Friday evening normally waits for Monday. Your account manager can build that into the timing so you are not paying for idle days.

Match the container to the volume of debris first, then sanity-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, and lake-property jobs around Jamestown tend to use the smaller three.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the compact option, right for a bathroom, a single deck tear-off, or a shed. It is also the correct size for concrete, block, and brick, since dense material fills the weight allowance long before it fills the space.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or basement cleanout, a kitchen gut, or a modest shingle tear-off. It is a good middle choice when a 10-yard looks tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for a full-house cleanout or a remodel spanning several rooms. It still sits comfortably on a driveway or a gravel pad.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a new cabin build, a large addition, or a mixed demolition load where volume builds fast across several materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry, built for commercial demolition and long-running construction work.
Not sure where your job lands? Describe it to your account manager and they will size it for you.
On private property, such as your own driveway, a gravel pad, or a fenced job site, a container does not need a city permit in Jamestown. That covers the large majority of jobs here, since lots around the lake usually have room to set a container well back from the road.
Jamestown is a small city and it does not publish a street or right-of-way permit rule. If your only workable spot is a city street or shoulder, the right move is to call City Hall at 270-343-4594 before you book. The office is at 112 North Main Street and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Two other authorities can come into play depending on the road. County roads are looked after by the Russell County Road Department on Landfill Road, reachable at 270-866-4567. If the container would sit on a state route, including the highways running through town, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handles that. Russell County falls in its Somerset-based Highway District 8, which can be reached at 606-677-4017.
Because the answer depends on who owns the strip of ground your container will sit on, tell your account manager the exact address and they will help you identify the right office and get in front of it before delivery day.
Ordinary building and cleanout debris is fine. The limits here come from how Kentucky classifies waste and from what the county facility will take at the gate.
Kentucky sorts waste into classes and matches each class to a type of landfill. Construction and demolition debris is its own class, covering material from building, repair, and demolition work plus land-clearing vegetation, and the state is explicit that it has to be nonhazardous and non-soluble. Brick, concrete, and lumber are the typical examples. General household and commercial trash goes to a different class of landfill. Keeping those streams apart is what keeps a load cheap and acceptable.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard container in every case. Car batteries are meant to go back to the retailer or wholesaler when you buy the replacement, not into a container. Waste tires are a separately tracked stream in Kentucky, so keep them out and mention them when you book.
If you are holding something and you are not sure which pile it belongs in, ask your account manager before it goes in. It is a much cheaper question than a rejected load.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Loads from Jamestown go to the Russell County Transfer Station at 323 Landfill Road, Russell Springs, KY 42642. It is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The county closed it to Saturday traffic in late 2025, so weekday delivery is the only option now.
The station is run by Russell County, which is worth knowing because the county sets what it charges and what it accepts, not the hauler. Material that leaves the station is consolidated and moved on to a permitted landfill from there.
The county also runs a separate Russell County Recycling Center at 210 Landfill Road, open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., which is the better home for clean cardboard and metal if your job generates much of either. Full details on both sit on Russell County's own services page. Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and what the facility expects before the container arrives.
323 Landfill Road, Russell Springs, KY 42642
Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and closed on weekends.
210 Landfill Road, Russell Springs, KY 42642
Open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most Jamestown rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Rural addresses are worth booking a little earlier, since routing to a lake property takes more planning than a suburban driveway.
These five things make delivery day easier:
Keep the facility calendar in mind as well. With the transfer station closed on weekends, a container filled late on a Friday will usually be emptied on Monday rather than over the weekend.

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.
Jamestown rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The material you load and the haul to the county transfer station both affect the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
In a rural county it is rarely close. The transfer station is a real drive from town, it keeps weekday hours only, and a pickup bed holds far less than a 10-yard container. Once a job needs more than a couple of runs, one container usually costs less and saves you several mornings.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture runs you out of room long before it runs you out of weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are out in every case. Car batteries belong back at the retailer, and waste tires are handled as a separate stream in Kentucky. Mixing construction debris in with general trash can also change which landfill the load can go to.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. The cheapest container is not always the cheapest job, though. Fill a small one with block or mortar and you can pass the weight allowance quickly. Keeping heavy material in its own load is usually the saving, and your account manager can price it both ways.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as a five-day one, because the price follows the job and the tonnage rather than the calendar. Weight is what shifts the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container goes out.
Nearly all ordinary building and cleanout debris. That covers lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, decking, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard, and general junk from a cleanout. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are fine too, and a clean load of them usually costs less to get rid of. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
