At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Jamestown, New York, and the surrounding Chautauqua County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old housing stock near the Riverwalk keeps remodeling crews busy year round, and construction, roofing, and property cleanup work across the city give contractors steady reasons to keep a container on site.
What you pay comes down to four things: the size you pick, the debris you load, how long you keep the container, and the fees the county charges when the load is weighed. Below, we cover those costs, the permit rule for city streets, what the landfill will and won't take, and how quickly we can get a container to you.

The prices below reflect average ranges for a standard five-day rental period. Your account manager will confirm tonnage, overage rates, and other project specifics during your free, custom quote.
| 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 |
Size is the first lever on your quote. A larger container costs more at the start, but one that is too small usually costs more in the end, because a second haul is billed much like a second rental.
Weight is the quieter one. The county bills by the ton, so plaster, shingles, and old tile use up your allowance well before the walls of the container are full. Mixed cleanout debris behaves very differently from a tear-off.
The disposal side is public in Jamestown, which makes planning easier. The county's 2026 landfill pricing is $44.00 per ton for construction and demolition debris and $32.00 per ton for household and general waste, and a load that shows up with electronics in it picks up another $25.00.
City rules can add a step. If your container sits on a public street, you need a permit before it arrives, and the City Clerk lists the work in right-of-way permit at $75.00. Your account manager will flag it early so the paperwork doesn't hold up your delivery date.

Pick your size by volume first, then sanity-check it against weight. We carry five sizes, and most Jamestown jobs land in the middle of the range.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the small one. It suits a bathroom gut, a single room, or a yard cleanup. It is also the right call for brick, block, and broken concrete, since dense debris tops out the weight long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the step up: a packed garage, a basement, or a single-layer roof tear-off on a modest house. You gain real capacity without jumping to a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one ordered most often in Jamestown. Whole-house cleanouts, kitchen-plus-bath remodels, and flooring jobs all fit comfortably, and it still sits on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, gut renovations, and new builds. When a job throws off framing lumber, drywall, and fixtures all at once, the extra room pays for itself.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial demolition, big industrial cleanouts, and jobs that run for weeks and keep producing bulky, lightweight debris.
Still weighing two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they will point you to the one that fits.
A container that stays on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, does not need a city permit in Jamestown. The rule changes the moment any part of it touches a public street, alley, or sidewalk.
For that, the City of Jamestown requires a right-of-way permit from the Department of Public Works. The City's right-of-way permit policy is clear that no work may begin in the right-of-way until the permit is in hand, and that the permit holder stays responsible for everything done under it, including work by anyone else operating on the same permit.
The City also expects the permit holder to check whether any other approval applies to the job, so a street placement near a travel lane or a metered space is worth asking about before you commit to a date.
The fee is published. The City Clerk's permit and license fee list shows $75.00 for a work in right-of-way permit, with sidewalk work billed separately. For questions about your specific spot, call the Department of Public Works at 716-483-7545. If you aren't sure whether the curb strip in front of your house counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you reach the right person.
Ordinary household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from New York State law and from what Chautauqua County will take at its own facilities.
Electronics are the big one. New York banned consumers from putting covered electronics in landfills, in the trash, or at the curb, as the state's electronic waste rules spell out. That covers TVs, monitors, desktops, laptops, and e-readers. Pull them before the container is hauled.
Hazardous material stays out too: liquids, fuel, solvents, oil-based paint, and asbestos have no place in a standard container. The county's list of items it won't take adds car, boat, and mower batteries, rechargeable batteries of every kind, and anything containing mercury. Water-based paint is fine once it has fully dried out.
Tires, appliances with a cooling unit, and mattresses are all accepted, but each one is billed per piece at the gate rather than by weight. Tell us about them when you book and they will show up on your quote instead of as a surprise.
If an item has you second-guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Nearly every load from a Jamestown job ends up at the Chautauqua County Landfill, which the county's Department of Public Facilities runs at 3889 Towerville Road, Jamestown, NY 14701. The county landfill page lists it as open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the gate phone is 716-661-8422.
Smaller or sorted loads sometimes route through the South County Transfer Station at 2570 South Work Street, Falconer, NY 14733, a short run east of the city. It takes commercial loads Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and it is closed on Mondays.
Both sites are county-owned, and Chautauqua County directs waste generated inside the county to its own facilities rather than to out-of-county disposal. That is good news for pricing, since the rates are published rather than negotiated. Your account manager will confirm which site your container is headed for and what the weight allowance looks like before delivery.
3889 Towerville Road, Jamestown, NY 14701
Run by the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities. Open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
2570 South Work Street, Falconer, NY 14733
County-run transfer station east of Jamestown. Takes commercial loads Tuesday through Friday; closed Mondays.
Most Jamestown orders go out within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early is still worth it, because it leaves room for a permit and often a better price.
A few things make delivery day go smoothly:
Keep the gate hours in mind as well. The county landfill runs Monday through Friday only, so a container filled late on a Friday will usually be pulled the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout the City of Jamestown and the nearby Chautauqua County communities, including Falconer, Lakewood, Celoron, Busti, Ellery, and the villages along Chautauqua Lake. Whether you are working on the north side, out toward Southwestern Drive, or at a lakeside property, we schedule the drop and the pickup around your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the debris, explain the county's weight rules, and quote you 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.
Expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The debris you load matters just as much, since the county weighs every load and charges by the ton. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and overage rate before the truck is dispatched.
Hauling it yourself only wins on very small jobs. Each run means a gate charge, fuel, and a half day of your time, and a pickup bed holds far less than people expect. Once a project fills more than two or three truckloads, one container almost always comes out cheaper.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you will run out of space long before you get anywhere near the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, oil-based paint, and asbestos. Electronics are banned from New York landfills, so TVs, monitors, and computers have to come out first. Car and rechargeable batteries are refused locally, and tires, mattresses, and cooling appliances are billed per piece instead of by weight.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. That said, the cheapest rental is the one that matches your debris. Load a small container with tile or concrete and you will blow past the weight allowance quickly. Splitting heavy material into its own load usually saves money overall.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives your final bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton runs, and you will know your ceiling up front.
Just about all ordinary debris qualifies: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, furniture, cardboard, and general household junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and keeping them in a separate load is usually the cheaper route. When an item is borderline, check with your account manager before you load it.
