At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Kernersville, North Carolina, and the surrounding Forsyth County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Sitting between Winston-Salem and Greensboro, the town carries a mix of established neighborhoods now on their second or third round of renovation and fresh residential construction spreading out from the Business 40 and Interstate 40 interchange, and both keep containers moving.
Your total depends on the container size, the material going in, the length of the rental, and the gate charge at the publicly run landfill that takes the load. Below are our ranges, what the town does and does not allow on a street, and the county permit that sits behind the work.

A Kernersville quote turns on four things, and two of them are local.
Size sets the base. Choosing one step up is almost always cheaper than discovering halfway through that you need a second container.
Weight sets the rest of a Kernersville quote. Winston-Salem and Forsyth County run the receiving sites jointly, and their flat-rate lane at the municipal landfill starts as low as $7 for the smallest qualifying load, with everything larger weighed across the scales instead. Dense material therefore rewards being kept on its own.
Where the load goes is the third factor, and it is not one choice but two. Construction and demolition debris can go to a dedicated site that takes nothing else, or to the municipal landfill which takes it alongside household waste. Their hours differ, and that difference can decide whether your container moves on a Saturday or waits until Monday.
Last, timing on site. Forsyth County requires the owner or occupant of any premises where waste is accumulating to clear it at least once every seven days. On a multi-week renovation that means a scheduled swap whether or not the container is full, so the county rule, not the container, often sets the rhythm of a long job.

Work from the heaviest material first, then check the volume. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes in Kernersville.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one Kernersville brick and block call for. A brick patio, a block retaining wall, or a bathroom stripped to the studs will reach the weight allowance well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage emptied properly, a laundry and hall refresh, or a modest shingle tear-off on a single-story roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick in Kernersville. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen with a bath, or carpet and subfloor from most of a house all sit comfortably in it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, full renovations, and new residential construction, where framing scrap and cardboard build volume fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, intended for commercial fit-outs, structural demolition, and industrial clearing work.
Tell your account manager the room count and the material and they will pick the size that fits.
On private property, including your driveway, no town permit is needed and Kernersville publishes none.
The street is a firm no rather than a permit question. The town's encroachment rules state that no person shall place any porch, steps, fence, wall, or other obstruction whatsoever in or on any of the streets, sidewalks, or public alleys, and there is no permit limb attached to that prohibition anywhere in the chapter. Each day an obstruction stays, starting on the tenth day after notice from the Chief of Police or the Director of Public Services, counts as a separate offense. So in practice the driveway is the placement that works in Kernersville, and the Public Services Department is the office to ask if your site leaves you no private option.
What does apply to the operator is a county requirement rather than a town one, and it has two parts. Forsyth County requires a solid waste management permit from the county manager before anyone may collect or transport solid waste commercially, issued only after the county inspects the facilities, equipment, and proposed operating methods, and running for one year at a time. Separately, the county requires a franchise from the Board of County Commissioners describing the territory to be served. The county may make a territory franchise exclusive, and its non-exclusive class is written around commercial, industrial, and business establishments.
Your account manager confirms how that structure applies to your address before the container is scheduled.
Infectious and hazardous waste, household hazardous waste, and anything burning or smoldering are all barred. Asbestos is out. So are liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and lead-acid batteries, each of which has its own disposal route.
Kernersville adds a dimension rule that surprises people. The town will not take wood with any cross-section larger than four inches or longer than six feet, and it refuses earth, rocks, tires, and automobile parts. Yard material over four inches in diameter is barred from landfill disposal altogether by definition, which is why green waste belongs in its own stream rather than mixed into a construction load.
The town also declines anything banned from the receiving landfill by law or by the landfill's own rules, and says such material may not be placed in any town container.
On the county side, construction and demolition waste must go to a site specifically permitted by state environmental authorities to receive it. That is why the destination for your load is fixed in advance. Raise anything unusual with your account manager before it is loaded.
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.
Winston-Salem and Forsyth County run their solid waste sites through a joint utility, and its own description is useful: the Solid Waste Division operates one landfill for municipal solid waste, another for construction and demolition debris, and two yard waste facilities.
For a construction or demolition load, the dedicated site is the Old Salisbury Road Landfill at 3336 Old Salisbury Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27127, on 336-727-8000. It takes construction and demolition waste only, and it is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday with no Saturday hours at all.
The other option is the Hanes Mill Road Solid Waste Facility at 325 W Hanes Mill Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105, also on 336-727-8000. It runs 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, and it takes construction debris alongside residential and commercial household waste. It is permitted to receive municipal solid waste from Davie, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties, so a Kernersville load qualifies.
Two practical notes from the utility's own landfill information page. Industrial process and other special waste is taken only by prior approval. And the free disposal permit the city advertises is limited to Winston-Salem single-family owners for non-commercial use, so it is not a route for a Kernersville job.
Your account manager confirms which of the two sites your container is routed to and what the gate will charge before delivery.
3336 Old Salisbury Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27127
Publicly run site taking construction and demolition waste only, weekdays until 4 p.m.
325 W Hanes Mill Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105
Publicly run landfill open weekdays until 4:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings.
Most Kernersville rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice lets us line up the right receiving site, which is the step that matters most here.
Five things worth doing before the truck arrives:
The hours at the two sites differ in a way that matters at the end of a week. The construction-only landfill closes at 4 p.m. and does not open Saturdays, while the municipal landfill runs Saturday mornings, so a Friday afternoon fill may need Monday for its haul depending on where the load is going.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Kernersville and the surrounding Forsyth County area, from downtown and the Main Street corridor out along Interstate 40 and North Carolina Highway 66 toward Walkertown, Oak Ridge, and the Guilford County line. We arrange the drop, the swap, and the haul to whichever public site suits your material.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will choose the size, name the public site your load is headed to, and give you a straight figure 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.
A Kernersville 10-yard is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899 over five days. The gate charge at the Forsyth County site and your debris weight then adjust the total. Your account manager settles the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most projects, renting wins. The free city disposal permit covers Winston-Salem single-family owners only and is non-commercial, so a Kernersville job pays at the gate each trip plus fuel and hours. One container handles the lot in a single haul.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a chest of drawers, and a good stack of boxes. Bulky furniture fills space long before it reaches the weight allowance.
Infectious and hazardous waste, household hazardous waste, asbestos, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, lead-acid batteries, tires, and earth all stay out. Kernersville also refuses wood thicker than four inches in section or longer than six feet, so oversized material needs cutting down first.
Kernersville's lowest start is the 10-yard at $399 to $499. What you load decides whether it is genuinely cheapest. Brick, block, and mortar reach its weight ceiling quickly, so putting dense material in its own container often beats paying overage on a mixed one.
Three days usually prices the same as five, since the quote is built around the project rather than the calendar. Weight is what changes a Forsyth County invoice. Ask your account manager for the included tonnage and the per-ton overage figure and you will know the ceiling up front.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material are all acceptable here. Clean brick, concrete, and asphalt are fine and often cheaper in their own load. Oversized wood needs cutting and yard material belongs in a separate stream.
