At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Janesville, Wisconsin, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards, from the older streets near the Rock River downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the east and the industrial ground south of the interstate. The city has spent two decades reusing the land and buildings left behind by its old assembly plant. So the work here mixes industrial demolition and new construction with steady renovation of a big stock of pre-war and mid-century houses.
Your price follows container size, the weight of the load, the rental length and where the material can be taken. Janesville is unusual in one respect that works to your advantage once you understand it: the City runs two separate landfills with different rules and different pricing bases, and choosing correctly between them is worth real money.

Three local things shape a Janesville quote, and the first is almost unique to this city.
Which landfill the load goes to comes first. The City runs a sanitary landfill and a separate demolition landfill, and they price on different bases. The sanitary landfill charges by weight, with a minimum set by the type of vehicle. The demolition landfill charges by the cubic yard, and it charges more for debris from outside the City than for debris from inside it. For the same pile of rubble, the cheaper site depends on how dense the load is. So sorting and pricing are one decision here.
What may go where is second, and the City is strict. Concrete, broken pavement and asphalt paving are barred from the sanitary landfill and must go to the demolition landfill. The demolition landfill takes only a fixed list: clean soil, brick, building stone, concrete, asphalt paving, broken pavement, untreated wood including brush and stumps, and wood pallets. Anything else goes elsewhere. On a mixed job that means two containers.
Weight is third, and in Janesville it is often the deciding factor. The plaster, brick and old concrete that come out of a pre-war house renovation are dense enough to reach a container's allowance while plenty of space remains.

Pick for the material first, because in this city the material also picks the destination.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the container for concrete, brick, building stone or clean soil, all of which are demolition landfill material here.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a basement clearing, a bathroom strip-out or an old garage coming down.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a roof tear-off or a remodel across several rooms, and it fits most Janesville driveways.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house renovation or a commercial strip-out generating framing, carpet, cabinets and drywall together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, built for the industrial demolition and redevelopment work this city sees a lot of.
Describe the job and say whether the concrete can be kept apart, and your account manager will size the containers and pick the destinations in the same conversation.
On private property, a driveway or a fenced site, Janesville requires no container permit. The city rules contain no container provision at all. Firm, level ground and plywood under the rails is the whole of it.
The street is a different story, and Janesville has the strictest version we have come across. Nobody may block or occupy a public street, alley or sidewalk unless the Chief of Police says so. There is a written application. It asks for the exact spot, the exact dates, the safety steps planned, and the name, address and phone number of every next-door owner, plus proof they were told and a note of any objection they made. The applicant covers the City against claims, and the Chief may ask for insurance, a bond or other surety naming the City.
Then come the two clauses that matter most. The Chief may turn the application down at any time and without cause, even when it is complete and fully covered. The Chief may also cancel a permit already issued, at any time and without cause. Marked state and federal highways are left out of the permit entirely. So no one can promise you a street spot in Janesville. That is why we plan a private spot, and why your account manager raises the street only as a last resort.
One permit falls on us, not on you. Anyone hauling waste to a City sanitary landfill for payment must buy an annual permit from the City Clerk, on or before 30 June each year. The fee is charged per vehicle, and the first vehicle costs more than each one after it. That is a condition of using the City's landfills. It is not permission to collect, and it is ours to hold, not yours.
Ordinary construction and household debris is what these containers are for. What matters here is which City site will take it.
Nothing hazardous travels in a standard container, so no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos. Special wastes such as asbestos, barrels, contaminated soil and industrial process waste need the City's approval first. Have that conversation before the container arrives, not after it is full.
The City's landfill bans are wider than most. Lead-acid batteries, major appliances, motor oil and oil filters, toxic and hazardous waste, waste tires, yard waste, electronics and asphalt roof shingles are all barred from City landfill disposal. Concrete and broken pavement are barred from the sanitary landfill but taken at the demolition one. So a roofing tear-off needs its destination settled with the City's solid waste staff before the load is built, and your account manager will settle it for you.
Wisconsin adds a statewide layer. Its recycling law bans burying or burning a list of recyclable and compostable items everywhere in the state, in homes, businesses, schools and institutions alike. Open burning is out too. It is illegal to burn construction and demolition material in Wisconsin, and illegal to burn an unwanted building. The one exception is an approved fire department practice burn, and the building must be checked for asbestos first.
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.
Janesville is one of the few cities its size that owns its own disposal sites, and the city rules are built around them. The City Manager names the sanitary and demolition landfill site and the yard waste composting sites. Those are the only places in the City where waste may be dropped without the Public Works Director's express permission.
We do not publish a street address, opening hours or a per-ton figure here. We print a facility address or a charge only when we have checked it at the source. What we will tell you is which of the two landfills your load is going to, and what that means for the price.
One city rule binds us on every trip. Anyone hauling waste or demolition debris to a City landfill must use an enclosed truck or trailer, or cover the load with a secure tarp. We sheet every container before it moves. That is also why a container loaded above the rails cannot be collected. To check anything yourself, ask the City of Janesville Public Works Department. Your account manager names which of the two landfills it is going to before delivery.
Most Janesville rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Having the landfills inside the City keeps turnaround short. The main limit on timing is a local curfew.
Five things that keep a Janesville job on track:
Winter is the other factor in Rock County. Frozen ground carries a loaded container well. A thaw part way through the rental can leave a full one sitting in soft ground, so we will talk timing through on a job that spans the season.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Janesville, from the downtown blocks along the Rock River through the near west and south sides out to the newer east side subdivisions and the industrial ground by the interstate, and we cover the surrounding Rock County communities on the same runs.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material, tell you which of the City's two landfills it is heading for and why that matters to the price, and keep the placement off the street.
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 is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899, both on a five day period. Here the destination matters as much as the weight, because the two City landfills price on different bases. Your account manager spells out the tonnage allowance and the cost of each extra ton before the Janesville booking goes in.
Beyond a pickup load, no. Self hauling means repeat trips, a minimum charge set by your vehicle each time, keeping concrete apart yourself, and covering every load to get in. One container does all three.
Yes. A three seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and boxed household goods. Soft furniture uses volume rather than weight, so you run out of room before tonnage.
No liquids, paint, solvents, fuel or asbestos, and nothing else hazardous. In Janesville, waste tires, major appliances, motor oil, electronics, yard waste and asphalt roof shingles are all barred from City landfill disposal, so each needs its own route arranged at booking.
A 10-yard begins at $399 to $499 on our list. For concrete, brick or clean soil it is the right container as well as the lowest priced, because dense material uses its weight allowance while most of the space goes unfilled.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around delivery, collection and disposal rather than nights on site. What the container holds, and which landfill it goes to, matters far more. Your account manager will go over the tonnage allowance with you.
Framing, drywall, plaster, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture and cardboard all go in, along with the usual contents of an older house. Clean concrete, brick, building stone and untreated wood are welcome too, and they have their own cheaper destination here. Point out anything unexpected before you start loading.
