At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Melbourne, Florida, and the surrounding Brevard County beachside and mainland neighborhoods in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Aging ranch homes along the Eau Gallie and Babcock corridors, steady construction on the city's west side, and a long run of roof and window work since the last storm seasons keep containers busy for both homeowners and builders here.
Your cost moves with the container size you pick, the weight and type of what you load, how long the unit stays, and what the county charges to take the material. Below you will find current price ranges, the city permit that applies to building work, what the Sarno Road site will and will not accept, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

Four things move the number on a Melbourne quote, and three of them are decided before the truck leaves.
Size is the first. A larger container costs more at the start, but ordering one size up is almost always cheaper than paying for a second haul halfway through a tear-off.
Weight is the second, and in Melbourne it is usually shingles. A single-layer asphalt roof on a 1960s three-bedroom will fill a 15-yard container on volume and still sit well under its limit; a second layer of shingle plus underlayment can double the tonnage without looking any different in the container.
The third is sorting. Brevard County runs separate operations for construction material and for household garbage, so a container holding drywall, lumber and a week of kitchen trash has to be split somewhere, and that costs money. Keep the job debris in the container and the household bags in your regular service, and the load travels as one clean stream.
The fourth is city paperwork, covered next. Tell your account manager what you are tearing out and roughly when, and they will price the whole job rather than the container alone.

Pick by weight first and volume second. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards, and the right one depends on what the material weighs per cubic foot.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one to order for anything dense. Concrete from a slab cut, old pavers, roof tile or a bathroom gut will reach the weight limit long before the walls fill up, so a small container keeps you clear of overage charges.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a one-car garage cleanout, a single-layer roof on a modest house, or pulling carpet and tile out of two or three rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Melbourne homeowners end up using. It swallows a whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and two baths, or a lanai rebuild without needing a second trip.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full renovation, a new build, or clearing a commercial unit between tenants. It is also the practical floor once a job produces mixed bulky debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest unit offered, built for demolition, large commercial fit-outs and industrial cleanouts that generate volume rather than weight.
Describe the job to your account manager, including whether there is any concrete or tile in it, and they will steer you to the size that costs least overall.
On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, no placement permit applies in Melbourne. What does apply is a separate city requirement tied to the work itself.
Melbourne's solid waste rules give the City's contracted hauler the collection rights, then carve out firms doing building or remodeling work that needs a city building permit. That carve-out runs through a trash hauling permit issued by the city manager's office, and it is the instrument that makes a private container lawful on a permitted job. The City sets the fee as a percentage of what your hauler bills you plus a per-cubic-yard sanitation charge, and starting the work before the permit issues can double the fee and add a separate penalty. In short, the permit belongs in the schedule next to the building permit, not after delivery.
Street and sidewalk placement is a firmer answer. The City's streets rules make it unlawful to obstruct any part of a public street, sidewalk, parkway, park or plaza with building material or any other obstruction, and the chapter offers no permit to lift that. Plan on a driveway or on-site placement in Melbourne.
The City's own construction site rule runs the other way and helps you. A construction or demolition contractor has to provide bulk or detachable containers sufficient for the loose debris, paper, building material waste and scrap the crew produces, with the number of containers and the service frequency set by how much the job makes. Anything scattered onto neighboring property has to be cleared by the end of that work day.
If you are not sure whether your job needs the trash hauling permit, your account manager will get you the current number for the city manager's office and walk the application through with you before you book.
Almost all building and household debris is fine in Brevard County. The limits come from Florida's disposal rules and, more sharply here, from what the Sarno Road site will take.
Florida keeps lead-acid batteries out of ordinary disposal and out of waste-to-energy plants, bars used oil from the trash, and keeps white goods such as refrigerators, washers and dryers out of the general waste stream. Yard trash has its own restriction at lined landfills.
Nothing hazardous goes in a Brevard County load, and that rules out paint, solvents, fuel, liquids and asbestos.
Brevard County's receiving sites keep their own acceptance lists on top of that, and they change from time to time. Pressure-treated wood, electronics, appliances, propane tanks and tires are the items most often handled apart from a general load in this county.
If your tear-out includes deck boards, old fence posts or anything you suspect is treated, say so when you book. Your account manager checks the current acceptance list with the county before the container goes out, so the load is not turned away at the gate.
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.
Melbourne loads go to facilities run by the Brevard County Solid Waste Management Department, which is a county department rather than a private operator, so you are dealing with public sites.
The useful thing to understand is that the county separates construction and demolition material from household garbage, and the two do not always go to the same gate. That is why a clean job load moves faster and costs less than a mixed one, and it is the single biggest thing you control.
We are not printing a site address, opening hours or a gate phone number here, because we want you working from the county's current information rather than ours. Contact the Brevard County Solid Waste Management Department directly for either, and your account manager will confirm which site your particular load is routed to before the container is delivered.
Most Melbourne 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 room to sort the drop spot and any city paperwork, and it usually prices better than a same-day scramble.
A few things that make delivery go smoothly:
Weekend finishes are worth planning around. County receiving sites keep shorter hours at the weekend than on weekdays, so a container filled late on a Saturday is often hauled at the start of the following week.

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 in Melbourne runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the county's disposal charge move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the weight allowance and the per-ton rate above it before the truck is scheduled.
A container almost always wins once a job passes two loads. Hauling it yourself means paying at the gate every visit, plus fuel, plus the hours. One Melbourne container handles a full tear-off in a single haul, and you are not sorting material into a pickup bed between gate closings.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a mattress frame, a dresser and a stack of cartons. With furniture the floor space normally runs out long before the weight limit does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, lead-acid batteries and asbestos. Pressure-treated wood, electronics, televisions, propane tanks and appliances are normally handled apart from a general load in Brevard County. Flag tires and any unusual item when you book.
The 10-yard is the lowest-priced unit offered in Melbourne, at $399 to $499. It is only the cheapest option if the material suits it. Load roof tile or concrete into a bigger container and the weight charge can outrun the savings, so dense debris belongs in the small unit by itself.
A three-day hold is normally billed the same as five, because the job sets the price rather than the calendar. The weight in the container drives your bill far more than the calendar does. Your account manager will give you the weight allowance and the cost of each extra ton before the truck is booked.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material are all fine. Clean concrete, brick, rock and asphalt are accepted too, and they usually cost less when they travel in their own container. If an item has you guessing, put it to your account manager before it is loaded.
