At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Kettering, Ohio, and the neighboring Montgomery County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mid-century ranch homes along Shroyer Road and Far Hills Avenue keep a steady flow of kitchen, bath and basement remodels going, and construction and repair work around the Government Center and the Kettering Health campuses adds commercial demand on top of that.
Your cost comes down to four things: the container you pick, how heavy the load turns out, how long you keep it, and the per ton rate at the county facility that takes the material. The sections below walk through those ranges, the street permit the City issues by name for a container, what the county will and will not take, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

Four things move the number on a Kettering quote, and the biggest one is weight rather than volume.
Pick the container to match the material, not the pile. A 10-yard unit is the right call for broken concrete, brick or tile from a patio or a chimney, because dense material reaches its weight allowance while the walls are still half empty. Mixed remodel debris is bulky and light, so a 20 or 30 covers more work for less money per cubic yard.
The county sets the tipping rate, not us. Montgomery County charges by the ton and prices construction and demolition material on its own line, and the posted schedule separates it from ordinary trash. Loads that originate in Montgomery County are charged at a lower trash rate than loads brought in from the nine surrounding counties, which is worth knowing if your project straddles a county line.
Separate the heavy material when you can. Clean concrete, brick and block in their own container, with drywall, lumber and shingles in a second one, usually beats one mixed load once the scale ticket arrives. Tires and freon appliances are billed separately at the county gate, so tell your account manager if any are going in.
Placement matters too. A driveway drop needs no City paperwork at all in Kettering, while a container on the street does. That is a timing question rather than a cost question, and your account manager can tell you which one your site needs.

Start from the kind of debris and work up to the volume. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards, and the right one is usually smaller than people expect for heavy material and larger than they expect for furniture.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized around dense material. Use it for a concrete driveway section, a brick chimney, tile, or a small bathroom gut. It sits low, so loading over the side is easy.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a two-car garage cleanout, a single-room flooring tear-out, or a small shingle tear-off on a ranch roof. It gives real working room without the footprint of a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Kettering homeowners end up with. A full-house declutter, a kitchen and bath done together, or carpet pulled from a whole floor all fit comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, basement finishes, and larger tear-offs where the debris is mixed and voluminous. Contractors working the older housing stock here tend to default to this size.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest unit on the Montgomery County list. It is built for commercial fit-outs, structure demolition and industrial cleanouts that keep producing volume for weeks.
Describe the job and the material to your account manager and they will size it with you off the debris list, not off square footage.
On private property, no. A container in your own driveway or on a job site you control needs no City permission in Kettering, which is the simplest and cheapest way to run a residential job here.
The street is different. Kettering issues a Temporary Revocable Permit for use of the public right-of-way, and the City's own application names dumpsters in its scope line: it covers the use of a storage container or a dumpster on the street. You can see the application form on the City website.
Note what the word revocable means. The permission can be withdrawn, so a street placement in Kettering is never a settled thing for the length of a long project. Plan a driveway or lot placement if the schedule has any slack in it.
A different permit, the Right of Way Construction Permit, covers digging and building in the right-of-way rather than parking something in it, so it is not the one you want for a container.
The City publishes no fee or review window for the temporary permit. For either one, the Kettering Engineering Department is at the Government Center on Shroyer Road and takes calls on 937-296-2436. If you are not sure where the right-of-way line falls on your frontage, your account manager can put you in touch with the right desk before your delivery date.
Standard household and jobsite debris is fine. The limits here come from what the county facility will accept and from Ohio rules on a handful of specific materials.
Hazardous waste stays out, and that covers more than people assume: paint, solvents, thinners, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides and asbestos-containing material. Liquids of any kind are out too, including partly full cans.
Tires and refrigerant appliances are not banned, but they are priced on their own lines at the county gate and a freon removal charge applies to appliances. Pull them out and list them when you book so the quote is right the first time. Ohio also treats scrap tires as a regulated load above a small count, so a pile of tires is a separate conversation.
Electronics, batteries and fluorescent tubes should go to a household hazardous waste collection rather than into the container.
If you are holding something and genuinely cannot tell, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail. One wrong item can reprice a whole load at the scale.
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.
Kettering's own household service is run by a City contractor and it is written around household material. The City's solid waste chapter expressly leaves out earth and material from construction or demolition operations, so the curb is not where remodel debris goes here. The City also requires every commercial property to hold collection service, and treats going without it as a nuisance, with each day counted separately.
Container loads from Kettering go to the Montgomery County Transfer and Recycling Facility, run by the Montgomery County Solid Waste District. The County publishes its hours and disposal rates: Monday through Friday 6 am to 7 pm, Saturday 8 am to 3 pm, and closed Sunday. The District takes calls on 937-225-4999.
Two of the County's own rules shape how we run a Kettering job. From January 2026 every truck and trailer load must be fully tarped before entering the facility, with a tarp accepted in place of an enclosed body. And the gates close promptly at the posted time, with no late entry once they are secured, so an afternoon pull has to leave real margin.
The County publishes hours and rates for the facility but not a street address, so we have not printed one. Your account manager confirms the destination for your load and the rate that applies to it before the truck is scheduled.
Most Kettering orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking two or three days out gives you a choice of arrival windows instead of whatever is left.
A few things on your side make the drop go smoothly:
Keep the county schedule in mind at the back end. The facility is closed Sundays and shuts at 3 pm on Saturdays, so a container filled late on a Saturday is usually hauled the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves every Kettering neighborhood, from the Shroyer Road and Dorothy Lane corridors out to Oakwood Avenue and the Stroop Road retail strip, along with the surrounding Montgomery County communities. We coordinate delivery, pickup and disposal around your build schedule rather than a fixed route day.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the material, confirm where the load is going, and price it 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.
Reckon on $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard over a five-day rental. The material matters as much as the size, because Montgomery County prices construction and demolition debris by the ton. Your account manager sets the included weight and the overage rate with you when you book.
Past a couple of pickup loads, the container wins on cost and on time. Hauling it yourself means a scale ticket each trip, fuel, and your own hours, and the county gate closes at 3 pm on Saturdays. One container handles the whole job and leaves you working instead of driving.
Yes, easily. Allow roughly a fifth of a 10-yard unit for a three-seat couch, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of boxes. Furniture fills the volume long before it troubles the weight allowance.
Keep out paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, asbestos material and liquids of any kind. Tires and refrigerant appliances are not forbidden but carry their own charges at the county gate, so list them when you order. Electronics and batteries belong at a household hazardous waste collection.
The lowest Kettering price is the 10-yard at $399 to $499. The lowest starting price is not always the lowest finished cost, though. Load it with concrete or tile and the weight allowance runs out first, and the overage can exceed what a second container would have cost. Keeping dense material in its own load is the usual saving.
Three days prices the same as five in Kettering, because the cost sits in the haul and the tonnage rather than the calendar. What goes in moves the bill far more than how long it stays. Your account manager will confirm the weight built into the Kettering quote and the cost of each ton above it.
Nearly all ordinary building and household debris: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted as well and often cost less when they travel in their own container. Anything unusual is worth a quick word with your account manager before the load is made up.
