At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lubbock, Texas, and the surrounding South Plains communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Student housing turnover around Texas Tech, roof work after a hail season, growing subdivisions south of Loop 289, and steady commercial construction along Milwaukee Avenue keep containers busy here year round.
Your price is shaped by container size, the kind of debris going in, how many days you keep it, and the per ton rate at the city landfill that receives the load. Below you'll find price ranges, the city rules for a container on a street, what cannot go in, and exactly where Lubbock debris ends up.

Lubbock is one of the easier cities to price, because the city publishes what the landfill charges.
Container size sets the base. Order one size up from what you think you need and you usually still come out ahead of a second haul.
Weight decides the rest. The City of Lubbock charges $41.94 per ton at the landfill that takes construction loads, with the state surcharge already included, so a roof tear-off or a slab breakout costs more to move than the same volume of cabinets and carpet.
Distance to the landfill matters too. Lubbock construction debris does not go to the landfill inside the city. It travels north to the regional site near Abernathy, and that round trip is built into your quote.
Finally, keep heavy material separate when you can. A load of clean concrete priced on its own almost always beats the same concrete mixed into a general demolition container.

Start with volume, then check the weight of what you're loading. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is short, low walled, and easy to load by hand. It is the right call for a bathroom gut, a small patio removal, or any load of concrete, brick, or caliche dirt.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage or storage unit cleanout, a single room of flooring, or a small shingle tear-off on a one story house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the Lubbock workhorse. It covers a full house cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel together, or a two layer roof on an average home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles whole house renovations, new construction framing scrap, and light demolition where the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is meant for commercial build outs, warehouse cleanouts, and demolition that runs over several weeks.
Not sure where your job lands? Describe it to your account manager and they'll size it with you.
On private property in Lubbock, no city permit applies to a roll-off container. A driveway, a caliche pad, or a fenced job site is yours to use.
The public street is a different matter, and Lubbock is stricter than most Texas cities. City rules make it unlawful to obstruct any part of a public street, alley, sidewalk, or right-of-way with any item, temporary or permanent, unless an applicable permit covers it. The city also states plainly that improvements of any kind are not allowed in the right-of-way, and that only city crews and registered utility contractors may work there. On top of that, the city reserves the right to remove a right-of-way obstruction without notice.
Where a drop genuinely affects traffic or a sidewalk, the route is a barricade permit from Traffic Management. The city asks for a traffic control plan and a $50 fee, and traffic control has to meet the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The right-of-way office can be reached at 806-775-2352.
The practical answer for nearly every Lubbock job is to keep the container on your own property. Your account manager can walk the drop spot with you, and can help you find the right city contact if the street really is the only option.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, fencing, and general cleanout junk all load fine. The limits come from Texas rules and from what the receiving landfill accepts.
Texas prohibits four things from every class of municipal landfill: used oil, used oil filters, lead acid batteries, and regulated hazardous waste. Untreated medical waste is barred as well, outside a declared disaster. Asbestos containing material is a special waste with its own handling rules and has to be covered as soon as it arrives, so it needs to be declared before anything is loaded.
Beyond the state list, hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container. Refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerated window units are worth calling out, because the city landfills will not take them at all.
Residents can drop used oil, antifreeze, and oil filters at a city convenience station, and paint and other household chemicals go to the Southside station on 84th Street. Ask your account manager before putting a questionable item 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.
Lubbock owns and runs its own landfills, which is why your disposal cost here is published rather than negotiated. The city operates two sites, and only one of them takes construction debris.
Construction and demolition loads go to the West Texas Region Disposal Facility at 17304 North FM 2528 in Abernathy, about 20 miles north of town. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, and the office number is 806-784-6040. The site covers 1,260 acres and the city expects it to serve the region for the next century.
The Caliche Canyon Landfill at 8425 North Avenue P, inside the city, is the one people assume their load is going to, and it is not. Its working face is closed to the public, it takes only small loads of brush, and the city states that construction and demolition material including trees, concrete, and lumber is not accepted there.
Loads have to be tarped or tied down, and an uncovered load picks up an extra charge at the scale. Staff also inspect loads at random and can turn a truck away. Your account manager confirms which site your debris is headed to and what the tonnage works out to before delivery.
17304 N FM 2528, Abernathy, TX 79311
Open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon.
8425 N Ave. P, Lubbock, TX 79403
Working face closed to the public; small loads of brush only, no construction debris.
Most Lubbock orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead helps most when wind or a hail event has the whole city calling at once.
Five things make delivery go smoothly:
Plan around the landfill week as well. The regional site closes at noon on Saturday and does not open on Sunday, so a container filled late Saturday will usually be hauled the following week.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the job, work out what the landfill tonnage will run, and give you one clear 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.
Lubbock rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. Because the city publishes a per ton landfill rate, your debris weight is the biggest variable. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Renting wins for most jobs. The construction landfill sits up near Abernathy, so every self-hauled load is a long round trip plus a charge at the scale, plus the risk of a surcharge for an untarped load. One container keeps the debris on your property until the work is finished.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged household junk. With furniture you run out of space well before you reach the weight allowance.
Used oil and oil filters, lead acid batteries, and regulated hazardous waste are barred from every Texas landfill. Keep out liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel too. Refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerated window units are refused by the city landfills, and asbestos has to be declared and handled separately.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Cheapest to order is not always cheapest overall, though. Concrete, tile, and caliche can pass a small container's weight allowance while half the space is still empty. Keeping dense material in its own load usually comes out lower.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as five days, because the price covers delivery, the haul, and disposal rather than the calendar. Tonnage matters far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what each extra ton adds before delivery.
Almost all home and construction debris is allowed in Lubbock: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, fencing, siding, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Texas rules let every landfill class accept construction and demolition debris. Clean concrete and brick are fine as well, and often cost less in their own load.
