At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lakewood, Ohio, and the near-west Cuyahoga County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. This is one of the densest cities in the state, built out in century homes and two-family doubles, so attic and basement cleanouts, porch and roof rebuilds, and infill construction along Detroit and Madison keep containers moving through tight driveways all year.
Your price follows the container size, the weight of the load, the length of the rental, and the disposal charge wherever the material is tipped. Below you will find our ranges, the street permit rule that applies here, and the one thing to know about the City's own drop-off site.

In a city this tightly built, three things shape a Lakewood, Ohio quote.
Access comes first here more often than anywhere else in the county. Many of these driveways are single width, run between two houses, and end at a garage at the back of the lot. The container that fits the opening sometimes matters more than the container that fits the debris, and that is a conversation worth having before delivery rather than on the day.
Weight is the second. Century-home work turns up plaster and lath, slate, brick, and old concrete walks, all of which load very heavily for their volume. A smaller container holding one dense material usually beats a larger one holding a mix.
Disposal is the third. Lakewood's own refuse site is a limited-use facility rather than a commercial destination, so a container load goes to a regional site instead, and the gate charge there is part of your bill. Your account manager will tell you where your material is going before it leaves.

Pick for the debris, then check it against the driveway. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across the near-west suburbs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right choice for plaster, brick, slate, or a broken walkway, and its short body is the one that fits a narrow Lakewood drive without blocking the house next door.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a basement or attic clearing, a bathroom remodel, or a porch rebuild, and it is often the largest container a double's driveway will take.
The 20-Yard Dumpster takes a full-house cleanout or a remodel spanning several rooms. On a corner lot or a wider drive it is the usual pick.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a gut rehab, a new build, or a job producing framing, plaster, and finish material at the same time, and it normally needs a job site rather than a driveway here.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, suited to commercial demolition and high-volume light debris, and it needs commercial-scale room to land.
Send your account manager the driveway width along with the project description, and they will tell you what will actually fit.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Lakewood asks for no container permit. The City does license portable storage containers, but that rule is written for a fully enclosed, box-like unit, so it does not reach an open-top roll-off.
The street is a different matter, and Lakewood's rule is specific and old. Placing material for building purposes on any street, lane, alley, or public ground requires a written permit from the Director of Public Works. The permit names the part of the sidewalk and street you may use and the period of use, which may not run beyond sixty days, and in no case may you take more than half the sidewalk or half the street.
There is a night-time duty attached as well. Anything left in a street, alley, or sidewalk has to be marked with red or amber lights from dusk until daylight for every night it stays there. On a Lakewood street that is a real operational requirement, not a formality.
One rule works for you rather than against you. A construction or demolition contractor is required to provide on-site receptacles, bulk containers, or detachable units for loose debris, paper, building material waste, and scrap, with everything containerized by the end of each day and the number of containers set by the size of the job. Failing to do it is a minor misdemeanour, so the container is the compliant answer.
The City of Lakewood answers on 216-521-7580, and the Division of Refuse and Recycling takes disposal questions on 216-252-4322. Your account manager can confirm whether your drop spot needs the public works permit.
Nearly all Lakewood building and household debris is fine. The limits here come from Ohio's disposal rules and from what the receiving site accepts.
Ohio keeps whole tires out of landfills, so tires have to be handled separately and priced as their own item. Hazardous material, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos have no place in a standard container.
The City's own exclusion list is a useful guide to what belongs in a container rather than at the curb. Lakewood will not collect household hazardous waste, tires, motor oil, liquids, paint, solvents, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, or computer equipment, and it keeps dirt, stone, concrete, and building materials out of its carts altogether. The City also states that debris left by contractors is the contractor's own responsibility to dispose of.
Appliances and electronics should be kept separate and mentioned when you book. If an item sits between the lists, ask your account manager 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.
Lakewood runs its own refuse operation, and it is worth being precise about what that site is and is not.
The City of Lakewood Division of Refuse and Recycling sits at 12920 Berea Rd., Lakewood, OH 44107, on 216-252-4322, with the Refuse and Recycling Center open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. The City's rules let a resident or a residential property owner bring material from improvements to their own Lakewood property in their own personal vehicle, free of charge, on production of identification and vehicle registration.
Two things follow from that. It is a personal-vehicle, Lakewood-origin facility, so it is not a place to send a container, and the City currently states that only limited construction debris is being accepted there because of construction at the complex itself. Please do not plan a project around that site without calling the Division first.
A container load therefore goes to a regional disposal site instead, and Lakewood follows the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District's rules on how material is sorted and where it ends up. Your account manager confirms the destination and the gate requirements before delivery.

Recycling Center open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon.
A Lakewood, Ohio container can normally be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Two or three days of notice is better here if the only workable position is on the street, because the public works permit has to come first.
Five things that make a delivery go well on a Lakewood street:
A Lake Erie winter needs planning around as well. Snow piled on a narrow drive or tree lawn can make a container unreachable on the day, so clearing a path before pickup saves a wasted trip.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Lakewood, from the Gold Coast high-rises and Clifton Park through the Birdtown and Madison Avenue neighborhoods to the Rocky River boundary, and we work throughout the near-west Cuyahoga County suburbs on the same schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the driveway as well as the debris, flag any street permit you need, and give you a clear price 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.
Containers here start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard on a five-day period. What you load and the gate charge at the receiving site move the final figure. Your account manager fixes the included weight and the overage rate when the order goes in.
In Lakewood the comparison is not even close for most jobs, because the City's own site takes personal vehicles only and is currently limited on construction debris. A container keeps the whole job in one haul instead of repeated trips to a commercial site at your own cost.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses something like a fifth of a 10-yard container, and a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes still fit around it. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you will run out of room before you run out of allowance.
Nothing hazardous belongs in the container: no liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, or asbestos. Ohio also bars whole tires from landfills, so tires are a separate item. Fluorescent tubes, bulbs, and computer equipment need their own route, and appliances should be mentioned at booking.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499, and on a narrow Lakewood driveway it is often the only size that will fit. Plaster, brick, and concrete can still take it past its weight allowance, so a separate heavy haul can work out cheaper than overage.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day one, because the price is built around the haul rather than the days. Debris weight affects the bill far more than the rental length. Ask your account manager for the included weight and the Cuyahoga County overage rate.
Ordinary construction and household debris is accepted: lumber, plaster and lath, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick, and slate are accepted as well and usually cost less when kept in their own load. Run anything unusual past your account manager.
