At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Kingston, New York, and the surrounding Ulster County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Kingston's housing stock runs old, from the stone houses of the Stockade to the brick and frame blocks down in the Rondout, and that keeps gut renovations, roof replacements and basement cleanouts going all year. New construction along the Route 9W and Route 28 corridors adds to it.
Your cost here comes down to four things: the container you pick, the weight of what goes in it, how long you keep it, and the per-ton rate at the county transfer station. Below are our price ranges, the city's rule for putting a container in a public space, what the county will and will not take, and where a Kingston load actually goes.

Start with the container. A bigger one costs more today and less overall if it saves you a second trip for the truck.
Then look hard at weight, because Ulster County charges by the ton and the rate is not small. Trash and construction debris both run $150 per ton at the county transfer stations, with a minimum charge on every load and a fuel surcharge adjusted each month. That makes plaster, tile and wet lumber expensive in a way they are not in cheaper markets, so it pays to tell us honestly what is coming out.
Certain items also carry their own charge on top of the per-ton rate. Mattresses, car tires, propane tanks, lead acid batteries and any appliance holding refrigerant are all billed individually at the scale. List them when you book and the pricing stays clear and upfront.
Location matters last. A container on a Kingston street needs a city permit, and that takes at least two days to line up, which is a planning cost even when it is not a big dollar cost. Your account manager will price all of this before you commit.

Choose on volume, then double-check against weight, because Kingston's per-ton rate punishes guessing. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yard containers.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for a bathroom, a small porch tear-off, or a load of masonry. Heavy rubble hits its limit long before the container looks full, which is exactly what you want.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage, an attic, or one slope of an older Kingston roof. It takes noticeably more than the smallest container without needing much more room on site.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a full-house cleanout or a kitchen and bath done together. It is the size we send most often in the city.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a gut renovation, an addition, or a tear-down of an outbuilding. The taller walls help when the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts and large construction sites.
Caught between two sizes? Give your account manager the room count and the material, and they will tell you which one to take.
If the container sits on your own private property, such as a driveway or a fenced site, the City of Kingston does not require a permit. That is the simple case, and it covers most jobs.
The moment any part of the container is in a public space, you need a permit from the city's Department of Public Works, and you have to apply at least 48 hours before the work starts. The city handles it on the same form it uses for sidewalk excavations and road closures, which is listed on its public works page along with its other permits.
The placement rules are specific. The container cannot block an intersection or cut off sight lines for traffic, it has to sit at least 20 feet back from any corner, and it cannot take an accessible parking space. If it goes on a sidewalk, the sidewalk surface has to be protected the whole time, and you are responsible for any detour signs. There is also an insurance and indemnity bond requirement before work begins.
The office to call is Public Works Administration at 25 East O'Reilly Street, on 845-331-0682. If you are not certain whether your spot counts as public space, your account manager can check it and get you to the right person.
Most building and household debris is welcome. The limits come from New York State law and from what the county transfer station will take at the gate.
New York bans consumers from putting covered electronics in a landfill, in the trash, or out at the curb. Televisions, computers, monitors, printers and game consoles all fall under that rule, so pull them out before you load. The county takes them free at its main office on Saturdays from April through November.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos cannot go in a standard container. The county is blunt about it: no hazardous waste is accepted outside its scheduled collection events.
Ulster County also makes recycling mandatory, and separating out regulated recyclables is treated as a legal duty rather than a suggestion. Bulk loads of tires and equipment tires are refused outright, and single tires, mattresses, propane tanks and refrigerant appliances each carry an extra charge at the scale.
If an item is borderline, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail. That one question can save a rejected load.
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.
Kingston's own sanitation crews collect household trash and recycling, not renovation debris, so a remodel needs a container rather than extra bags at the curb.
Loads from the city go to the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency transfer station at 999 Flatbush Road, Kingston, NY 12401. It is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the office number is 845-336-0600. The agency is a public authority owned by the county rather than a private operator, and it publishes the same posted rate for everyone who pulls onto the scale.
From Flatbush Road the material is consolidated and trucked out to permitted landfills elsewhere in New York State. The agency runs a second transfer station in New Paltz on the same rate sheet, which gives jobs at the southern end of the county a shorter run.
There is a county rule worth knowing too. Household trash generated in Ulster County has to be delivered to an agency facility, while clean construction and demolition debris is written out of that definition. Most real jobs mix the two. Your account manager will confirm which facility your load is headed to and what that means for the quote.
999 Flatbush Road, Kingston, NY 12401
County transfer station, open Monday through Saturday 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Kingston rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container is going in a public space, add the city's two-day permit window to your planning.
Five things that keep a Kingston delivery smooth:
Plan around the scale as well. The county transfer station closes at 3 p.m. and does not open on Sundays, so a container filled late on a Saturday will usually move on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster works throughout the City of Kingston, from the Stockade District and Midtown down to the Rondout waterfront, and out across the Ulster County towns that share the county's transfer stations, including Ulster, Saugerties, Hurley, Esopus, Rosendale and New Paltz. Whether your site is a narrow uptown street or a new build off Route 28, we arrange the container, the haul and the disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, explain what the county charges by the ton, 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Ulster County bills disposal by the ton on top, so weight moves your total more than any other factor. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Only for a very small job. The county charges by weight at the gate with a minimum on every load, and an open trailer has to be tarped or it costs extra. Add fuel and your own hours and the math turns fast. Past two or three trips, one container wins.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so space runs out well before the weight allowance does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos. New York also bars consumers from throwing away televisions, computers and monitors. Tires, mattresses, propane tanks and appliances with refrigerant are not banned, but each adds a charge, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is actually cheapest depends on what you load. With Ulster County billing by the ton, a small container packed with plaster or tile can run past its allowance and the overage wipes out the gap. Ask your account manager to compare.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around delivery, the haul and the tonnage, not the calendar. Cutting days rarely cuts the bill. Ask what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, since that is the number that actually moves.
Ordinary construction and cleanout debris is fine: lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Brick, concrete and clean masonry are accepted too and are often best kept in their own load. If an item is unusual, check with your account manager before loading it.
