At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Katy, Texas, and the fast-growing corridor west of Houston in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Subdivision construction runs almost without pause out here, the older homes near downtown Katy are being renovated one at a time, and storm and flood repair work adds another steady stream of debris.
Your price reflects the container you take, the weight of what goes in, how long it stays, and the disposal charges at the receiving site. Katy also sits across three county lines, and the city itself has a container permit rule worth knowing before you book, so both are covered below.

Container size is the first thing to settle. Paying a little more for the next size up beats filling a small container early and ordering a second haul.
Weight comes next. Brick, mortar, roof tile, and slab concrete are dense, and a small container of them can outweigh a big container of cabinets and carpet.
Sorting changes the destination, and the destination changes the price. Harris County explains that a Type IV landfill takes only construction and demolition waste, trees, brush, and similar dry debris, with no household garbage, while a Type I landfill takes everything. A clean construction load can go to the cheaper of the two, which is a good reason to keep kitchen trash out of a remodel container.
One more local factor applies inside the city limits. The City of Katy requires a permit before a container larger than 55 gallons is placed at someone else's property, and it issues that permit through its Public Works Department. Your account manager handles this before your delivery date is confirmed.

Work out roughly how much debris the job makes, then check how heavy it will be. One of our five sizes will suit.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the small one and the right one for heavy material. A driveway section, a brick planter, or a single bathroom gut suits it, because dense debris reaches the weight ceiling while the container still looks half full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes on a crowded garage, a flooring tear-out, or one slope of a roof. It is the natural step up when a 10 feels tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for Katy homeowners. Whole-house cleanouts and multi-room remodels fit, and it still sits on a standard suburban driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, major renovations, and new residential construction, where framing scrap, drywall, and packaging accumulate for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and belongs on commercial jobs, retail build-outs, and demolition producing a lot of bulky debris.
Not certain which fits? Describe the job to your account manager and they will pick it for you.
On private property, your own driveway or a job site you control, Texas does not require a state permit for the container. Inside the Katy city limits, though, the city's own rule still applies: a container over 55 gallons placed at another person's property needs a permit from the Public Works Department first. The city also permits the trucks that service those containers, with set insurance limits and covered-load requirements.
If the container will sit in a public street, alley, or sidewalk instead, that is work in the right of way and the city's Permits Department handles it. Those rules are written around utility and roadway work, so the city will tell you which route your placement takes.
The catch here is geography. A Katy mailing address does not always mean a City of Katy address, since the postal area spreads across unincorporated Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties where the city's rules do not reach. Check which side of the line you are on before you assume.
Katy Public Works sits at 5454 Franz Road and takes calls at 281-391-4820. Your account manager can confirm whether your address is inside the city and sort out the container permit for you.
Most building debris and household junk is fine. The limits come from Texas rules and from the receiving landfill.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality keeps a short list out of every landfill in the state. Its prohibited waste list covers lead-acid batteries, do-it-yourself used motor oil, used oil filters, whole tires, liquid waste, regulated hazardous waste, and any refrigerator, freezer, or air conditioner still holding refrigerant.
Keep the usual items out as well. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never belong in a delivered container.
Harris County residents outside the City of Houston can take household chemicals to the county's hazardous waste facility by appointment, and Fort Bend County residents can use the county recycling center, where appliances are billed per unit at $5.00 without refrigerant and $10.00 with it.
If something has you guessing, ask your account manager before it 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.
Katy's position across three county lines means your load follows the nearest permitted landfill rather than a single city facility. Harris County Pollution Control Services draws the useful distinction: a Type IV site takes construction and demolition debris, trees, brush, and similar dry debris only, while a Type I site takes household garbage as well. The landfills serving the Katy area are privately run and permitted by the state, and the charge at the scale is set by the operator.
For the materials a container cannot take, the public options are county-run. The Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 6900 Hahl Road, Houston, TX 77040, enter at Hahl Road near 290 and Gessner, is open by appointment to Harris County residents who live outside the City of Houston. Call 346-286-4299 to book, and 346-286-4294 if you want to check for a weather closure.
South of town, the Fort Bend County Recycling Center at 1200 Blume Road, Rosenberg, TX 77471 takes household recyclables, paint, oil, batteries, and appliances from county residents. Its line is 281-633-7581, and it runs Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Wednesdays. It is residential only, so business and commercial loads are turned away. Waller County runs its own drop-off as well.
Your account manager confirms which landfill is taking your container and what the disposal charges look like before the truck leaves the yard.

Most Katy rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Inside the city limits the container permit needs settling first, so a few days of notice helps, and early bookings usually price better.
Five things that keep delivery simple:
One Gulf Coast note worth adding. Heavy rain and street flooding can shut a drop spot for a day, and the counties get busy after a storm, so build a little slack into the schedule in hurricane season.

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, both on a standard five-day rental. Weight and material type move the final number, since the landfill bills by the ton. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before your container is delivered.
A container usually wins. Hauling it yourself means repeated runs to a landfill that may be half an hour away, fuel each way, and a truck able to take the weight. Past two or three loads, one container at the job costs less and finishes sooner.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for chairs, a bed frame, and bagged clutter. Household furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you run out of space long before you hit the weight limit.
Texas keeps lead-acid batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, whole tires, liquid waste, hazardous waste, and anything holding refrigerant out of every landfill in the state. Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out too. Set those aside and tell your account manager about them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest in total. Brick, tile, and concrete can take a small container over its weight allowance in a hurry, so keeping heavy material in its own load often works out better than sizing down.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, because the rate is built around the job rather than counted by the day. Weight moves the bill much more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Most ordinary debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt go in too, and they are cheaper to handle as their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before it goes in.
