At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Killeen, Texas, and the surrounding Bell County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Turnover driven by Fort Cavazos keeps rental property cleanouts and move-out work constant here, and new construction along the Highway 195 and West Trimmier corridors adds the kind of mixed debris that a container handles far better than a pickup bed.
Killeen is one of the cities where the collection rules themselves shape the answer, so what follows covers what the City's own ordinance says about who may collect waste for payment, what the municipal transfer station charges by the ton, where the paperwork sits, and how a container job gets scheduled.

Weight is the main variable on a Killeen quote, because the municipal transfer station charges by the ton and the ticket follows your load.
The published tipping rates split two ways. The City's transfer station page sets a rate of $80.00 per ton before tax for customers on City solid waste service, with a minimum of $4.00 per 100 pounds, and $137.60 per ton before tax for anyone whose property is not on that service, with a minimum of $6.88 per 100 pounds. That is a large gap, and which side of it applies to your address is a question worth settling before you order anything.
Some material carries its own line. The same fee schedule charges $21.00 for each freon appliance, $20.00 per mattress or box spring for commercial loads, and $4.00 to $13.00 per tire depending on rim size. Those are per-item charges, so they land on top of the tonnage rather than inside it.
Cover the load or pay for it. The station adds a $26.25 surcharge on an unsecured load, and the City explains that it has to keep two miles of the Highway 195 entrance road clear of litter to stay inside its state permit. A tarp with straps satisfies the rule, which is the standard we run to anyway.
Finally, the container you choose has to suit the debris. Brick, mortar and tile in a 10-yard, mixed remodel waste in a 20 or 30, and the two kept apart wherever the job allows.

Work backwards from the material. There are five container sizes to choose from between 10 and 40 yards, and heavy Killeen debris almost always wants the smallest one.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for density. Concrete, brick, mortar, tile and dirt belong here, because the tonnage limit arrives long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the garage and single-room size. Shelving, old flooring, a shed teardown, or a modest shingle tear-off all fit without paying for space you will not use.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a Killeen rental turnover or a multi-room remodel. Furniture, carpet, cabinets and drywall go in together and there is still room at the top.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full renovation, a new build, or a commercial clear-down. If the debris is bulky rather than dense, this is where the cost per cubic yard starts to work in your favor.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest unit available in Bell County. Structural demolition, warehouse cleanouts and large-scale construction use it, and it is the size the municipal yard tops out at too.
Tell your account manager what the debris actually is, including the heavy items, and they will pick the size with you.
On private property the answer is straightforward: no permit. A container on your driveway, pad or job site needs no City application in Killeen, and that is where nearly every residential job here puts one.
The City's code does not create a dumpster permit for the street either. What it has instead is a general rule in its streets chapter making it unlawful to place an object that encroaches on a roadway, alley or right-of-way far enough to impede free passage across the entire width. That is an outcome test rather than a paperwork test, and the same article lists an exception for objects lawfully in place to provide utility or governmental services, naming waste collection containers among them.
Sidewalks are treated separately and more strictly. The code bars obstructing a sidewalk with vehicles, barrels, tables or other articles, so the walkway is not an option whatever the project.
Because there is no application form to file, the practical step in Killeen is to agree the drop spot in advance. The City's main line is 254-501-7600 and the transfer station takes calls on 254-501-8971. Your account manager will confirm the placement with you and raise it with the City if your frontage is tight.
The Killeen transfer station publishes its own accepted and restricted lists, and those are the limits that bite on a container load here.
Accepted by name: brush, construction and demolition debris, furniture, grass clippings, household garbage, leaves and yard waste. That covers the great majority of remodel and cleanout material.
Restricted by name: asbestos, fertilizers, hazardous waste, liquids, medical waste, pesticides, septic waste, slaughterhouse material and animal carcasses, plus any other special waste the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality prohibits. Paint, solvents, fuel and motor oil fall inside the hazardous and liquid categories, so they stay out.
Tires and freon appliances are accepted but priced per item, so they are not forbidden, just billed. The City also notes that waste generated on the military installation is not accepted without prior approval from the City Manager, which matters on contracts that cross the line.
When something sits on the edge of those lists, your account manager can check it against the station's rules before it goes in the container.
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.
Killeen is unusual and the page should say so plainly. The City's ordinance makes the municipal solid waste services division the exclusive provider of collection and disposal for every premises inside the city limits, and makes it unlawful for anyone else to provide that service for payment or to use the public streets for it. The City also rents open-top roll-off containers itself, in 20, 30 and 40 cubic yard sizes, through an account set up at the transfer station with a deposit. So in Killeen the municipal yard is both the gate and a direct alternative to us, and your account manager will confirm exactly how the rule applies to your address and your material before anything is booked.
The destination for container loads is the City of Killeen Transfer Station at 12200 State Highway 195, Killeen, TX 76549. It is a state-permitted Type V transfer station run by the City itself. Published hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Saturday 8 am to 3 pm, and the station is closed on the fourth Saturday of each month. The number is 254-501-8971.
The City also runs a separate recycling center that takes antifreeze, motor oil, oil filters and lead acid batteries, which is where those items should go rather than into a container.
One scheduling detail worth planning around: the station has a certified public scale, so your tonnage is measured rather than estimated. Your account manager can explain how the ticket converts into your final bill.
12200 State Highway 195, Killeen, TX 76549
Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Saturday 8 am to 3 pm, closed the fourth Saturday of the month.
Most Killeen orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the collection rules here need checking against your specific address, giving us a day or two of notice is more useful in Killeen than in most cities.
Five things that speed the job up:
The back end matters here too. The station closes at 3 pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays and is shut on the fourth Saturday of the month, so a late-week finish can push the haul into the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Killeen, from the older streets near downtown and College Street out to the newer subdivisions off Clear Creek Road, Stan Schlueter Loop and Highway 195, along with the neighboring Bell and Coryell County communities. Delivery, pickup and disposal are coordinated around your build calendar.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will check how the local collection rule lands on your address, size the container to the debris, and give you a firm number 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.
Across a five-day rental a 10-yard costs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899. The City charges by the ton at its transfer station and at two different rates depending on whether the property is on municipal service, so your material and your address both move the final figure.
Beyond a load or two, no. Each trip to the station means a scale ticket, fuel, and your own time, and the gate closes at 3 pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A container takes the whole job in one haul and you stay on the work instead of driving Highway 195.
Yes. Reckon on a three-seat couch taking about a fifth of a 10-yard unit, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is light for its bulk, so you will fill the space long before you approach the weight limit.
The Killeen station names asbestos, fertilizers, hazardous waste, liquids, medical waste, pesticides, septic waste and animal carcasses as restricted. That rules out paint, solvents, fuel and motor oil. Tires and freon appliances are accepted but carry per-item charges, so declare them when you order.
The 10-yard has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. It is only the cheapest result if the material suits it. Fill a small container with brick or concrete and the tonnage charge takes over, which is why keeping dense debris in its own load usually beats squeezing everything into one.
A three-day rental usually prices the same as five days, because the cost is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the number of nights. Weight drives your bill. Ask your account manager how many tons are included and what the station charges above that.
Construction and demolition debris, lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, furniture, cardboard, brush and general household junk are all accepted at the Killeen station. Clean concrete and brick go in too and are usually cheaper when kept separate. Anything you are unsure about is worth raising with your account manager first.
