At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Kent, Ohio, and the wider Portage County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Student housing turnover near the university, older homes along the Cuyahoga River getting new kitchens and baths, and steady construction work around the Haymaker Parkway corridor keep containers busy for homeowners and builders alike.
What you pay turns on the size you pick, how heavy your debris is, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving site charges to take the load. Below you will find our price ranges, how the city's street rules work, and what is safe to load.

Four things move the number on a Kent quote, and the container itself is only the first.
Size comes first because it sets the base rate. Guessing small and needing a second haul almost always costs more than booking one size up at the start.
Weight is the next lever. Portage County has no landfill of its own, so every load leaves the county for a receiving site in a neighboring county. That extra haul is built into what heavy material costs here, which is why shingles, plaster, and concrete are worth keeping in their own container.
Timing matters more in Kent than in many towns. The city's garbage rules bar collection work before 7:00 a.m. and after 7:00 p.m. anywhere in town, residential or commercial, so a swap has to land inside a twelve-hour window. Multi-family, commercial, and institutional properties also cannot let waste sit on site longer than ten days, which shapes how a long job gets scheduled.
Finally, the drop spot counts. A driveway placement is straightforward. A container in the street is not, and that difference is worth sorting out before you book.

Picking a size is really about two questions: how much volume you will fill, and how dense that volume is. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes in Kent.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one to ask for when the material is dense. A bathroom gut, a patio tear-out, or a load of brick and block will reach its weight limit long before the walls fill up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a single large room, a garage you have been meaning to empty for years, or a small tear-off on a one-story roof. It buys headroom without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Kent households land on. It handles a full-house cleanout, a kitchen plus a bath, or carpet and subfloor from several rooms in one go.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for whole-floor remodels, an addition, or a new build where framing scrap and packaging pile up fast. Mixed debris eats volume quickly, and this size keeps pace.
The 40-Yard Dumpster tops the Kent range. Commercial fit-outs, structural demolition, and industrial clearing projects are what it is for.
If you are torn between two sizes, describe the room count and the material to your account manager and they will steer you.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Kent publishes no container permit, and nothing in the city's code requires one.
A Kent street is a different matter. Kent's traffic rules state plainly that no person shall place any obstruction in or upon a street without proper authority, and the code sets out no application form, fee, or review time to go with that sentence. Sidewalks are tighter still: goods, materials, and equipment may sit on a Kent sidewalk only as long as a delivery or pickup actually takes, and in no case longer than one hour.
So a street or sidewalk placement in Kent is a conversation with the city rather than a form you can download. The office to call is the City of Kent Service Department on 330-678-8105. City Hall is at 319 S. Water Street and takes general calls on 330-678-8100, and the city lists what it does issue on its applications and permits page.
One thing worth knowing: in Kent the collection permit sits with the City Board of Health rather than with public works, and it is issued vehicle by vehicle after a health commissioner's inspection. Your account manager can walk you through which office your job actually touches before anything is scheduled.
Nearly everything a Kent remodel produces can be loaded. Kent's own rules draw a hard line around four categories: hazardous waste, asbestos, asbestos-containing material, and infectious waste may not go into any public or private container in the city, and that applies to a rented container as much as a curbside cart.
Beyond those, the usual exclusions hold. Liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, batteries, and pressurized cylinders all need separate handling. Tires and large appliances should be set aside and mentioned when you book, because they are normally billed by the piece rather than by weight.
Kent also has a packaging rule that catches people out. Loose material such as rock, brick, block, dirt, sand, and cement has to be properly contained rather than loaded loose. A container handles that requirement for you, which is part of why the city names a larger receptacle as the fix when a property outgrows its carts.
The city further requires every load to go to a site properly licensed under state law, so the destination is not a free choice. Anything you cannot place on that list is worth raising with your account manager 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.
Portage County does not have a landfill inside its borders. The county's own waste district says so directly and adds that it leans on facilities in neighboring counties, so a Kent container load is hauled out of county to a receiving site. Those receiving sites are company-run, which is why none is named here.
What the county does run, and runs itself, is the Portage County Solid Waste Management District at 3588 Mogadore Road, Kent, OH 44240, reachable on 330-678-8808. The district office keeps weekday hours and its Brimfield Township drop-off area is open around the clock, with the hard-to-recycle facility open Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and until 5 p.m. on the first Monday of the month. Household hazardous waste is taken on the first Monday of each month between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Be clear about what that site is for, though. It takes recycling, scrap metal, appliances, electronics, automotive fluids, and tires from residents. It does not take a container load of construction debris, so do not route a roll-off there. The district publishes the full list on its own drop-off page.
Your account manager confirms which receiving site your load is headed to, and what that site charges, before delivery day.
3588 Mogadore Road, Kent, OH 44240
County district site for recycling and hard-to-recycle items; it takes no container loads.
Most Kent rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling two or three days ahead gives you room to settle the drop spot and, if the street is involved, to talk to the city first.
A few things make the delivery go cleanly:
Kent's collection window also matters here. Nothing can be hauled before 7:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. anywhere in the city, so a late-afternoon call may mean a next-morning pull rather than a same-evening one.

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.
Kent rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. Because every load leaves Portage County for a receiving site, haul distance and weight both matter. Your account manager prices the tonnage and overage rate with you when you book.
For anything past a couple of pickup loads, the container wins. With no landfill inside Portage County, self-hauling means a longer round trip than most people expect, plus a gate charge each visit and your own fuel and hours. One container absorbs the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you nearly always run out of space before you run out of allowed weight.
Kent bars hazardous waste, asbestos and asbestos-containing material, and infectious waste from any container in the city. Liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and batteries also stay out. Tires and large appliances need to be kept separate and mentioned at booking, since they are billed per item.
In Kent the 10-yard opens at $399 to $499, the lowest of the five. The cheapest booking is not always the cheapest finish here, though. Load it with plaster or concrete and you can pass its weight allowance while it still looks half empty, so splitting dense material into its own haul often costs less overall.
Three days and five days usually price the same, because the rate is built around the job rather than the calendar. What shifts your bill is weight. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, and you will know your ceiling before the truck arrives.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material are all fine in Kent. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt go in as well, and a Kent load of them alone usually costs less than a mixed one. Loose rock, dirt, and sand must be contained rather than loaded loose.
