At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Meridian, Idaho, and the rest of Ada County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Meridian has grown faster than almost any other city in the state, and the work shows it: new subdivisions out past Ten Mile, kitchen and garage projects in the older blocks near downtown, and construction crews busy on both sides of the freeway.
What you pay comes down to the size you pick, the debris you load, how long you keep the container, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Keep reading for current price ranges, the rules for putting a container in a Meridian street, what the landfill turns away, and how soon we can get a dumpster to your address.

Four things move the number on your quote in Meridian: the container you choose, the weight you put in it, the fees at the scale, and whether the dumpster has to sit in the street.
Size is the easiest one to get right. Renting one size up costs a little more, but it beats filling a small container, paying for extra weight, and then booking a second haul.
Weight is where most budgets slip. Ada County charges by the ton once a load crosses its minimum, and the Board of Ada County Commissioners sets those fees, not us. The county's posted rate is $34 per ton with a $15 minimum for general trash, so a dumpster packed with concrete, tile, or wet shingles costs more to empty than the same dumpster packed with cabinets and drywall.
Some material is billed by the piece instead. The county charges $5.25 for each tire and $25.75 for each refrigerated appliance, and asbestos has to be certified before it arrives. Tell your account manager about items like these when you book and they won't turn into a surprise.
One more local detail: the county landfill only takes waste generated inside Ada County, so a load hauled from a Meridian job stays in the county system. If your container needs part of a public street, add the cost and lead time of a street permit to your plan.

Match the container to the volume you expect and to how heavy that volume is. We rent five sizes in Meridian, from 10 yards up to 40.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one to pick for dense material. Broken concrete, brick, dirt, and patio pavers hit the weight limit while the container still looks half empty, and it also suits a single bathroom or a small yard cleanup.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. Think of a two-car garage you haven't emptied in years, a flooring tear-out, or a shed demolition.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most requested size for Meridian homes. It swallows a full cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms without taking up much more driveway than the 15.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for volume rather than weight. New construction, a whole-house gut, and large siding or framing jobs all fit well in it.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we offer. Commercial tenant work, light demolition, and industrial cleanouts that fill a container in a day belong here.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the project and they'll size it with you.
A dumpster on private property, in your driveway or inside a fenced job site, doesn't need a permit in Meridian. The rules change the moment any part of the container sits on a public street, sidewalk, or shoulder.
Streets inside Meridian belong to the Ada County Highway District rather than the City, so the highway district is who you ask. It issues a Temporary Use Permit for work that occupies the roadway, the public sidewalk, or the shoulder, and a separate right-of-way permit for construction that blocks or restricts the street.
The highway district doesn't publish a dumpster-specific form or fee. Its own guidance is to call when the activity you have in mind isn't on the list, which is exactly the case for a container, so plan on a phone call rather than an online form.
Call the Ada County Highway District at 208-387-6100 to start that conversation. If you aren't sure whether your drop spot is private property or public right-of-way, your account manager can help you pin it down before delivery day.
Framing lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, fixtures, furniture, and ordinary cleanout junk all load fine. The limits come from Idaho's approach to household hazardous waste and from the handling rules at the county landfill.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality treats paint and stain, cleaners, aerosols, batteries, lawn and garden chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, thermostats, electronics, and leftover medicine as household hazardous waste and asks residents to route them to a county program or the local landfill instead of regular trash. Ada County runs a household hazardous waste facility at the landfill for exactly that material.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster. Asbestos needs certification and a separate arrangement with the county before it can be delivered at all.
Tires, propane cylinders, and anything with refrigerant in it also need to be set aside. The county caps tires per load and wants advance authorization for large tractor tires.
When an item has you guessing, ask your account manager first. A single wrong item can hold up a whole load 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.
Loads hauled from Meridian go to the Ada County Landfill, the county-run site at 10300 N Seamans Gulch Rd, Boise, ID 83714. It takes waste generated in Ada County, which covers every Meridian address.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It closes on Sundays and on the holidays the county observes, and its main office keeps shorter hours than the scale. The number at the landfill is 208-577-4725.
Everything is weighed on arrival, so the county's per-ton rate and its per-item charges land on your final bill rather than on a flat ticket. Your account manager can confirm which facility is receiving your container and explain the fees that apply to your debris before the truck rolls.
10300 N Seamans Gulch Rd, Boise, ID 83714
County-run landfill, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sundays.
Most Meridian rentals can be on site within one to two business days, with the driver arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier in the week gives you room to sort out a street permit and clear the drop spot, and it usually costs less than a rush order.
A few habits make delivery day easy:
Keep the landfill calendar in mind as well. Because the Ada County Landfill is closed on Sundays, a container you fill late Saturday may not be emptied until Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Meridian and the surrounding Ada County communities, from the new builds near Ten Mile and Chinden to downtown, Tuscany, the Lakes at Bear Creek, and the business parks along the freeway. Worth knowing before you book: the City runs its curbside trash and recycling service through one exclusive franchise, while Idaho law lets you choose your own provider for a container that is temporary and tied to a specific project. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies at your address before anything is scheduled.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the debris, confirm the receiving facility, and quote you a real 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.
A 10-yard container in Meridian runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and the weight-based fees at the Ada County Landfill move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before you commit.
Hauling it yourself looks cheaper until you count the trips. Every run to the county landfill means a minimum charge at the scale, fuel, and half a day of your time, and a pickup bed holds far less than you think. Past two or three loads, one dumpster almost always wins.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture fills space long before it adds much weight, so volume runs out first on a cleanout like that.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, and lawn chemicals belong at the county household hazardous waste facility instead. Tires, propane tanks, and refrigerated appliances can be handled, but they are billed per piece and need to be declared when you book.
The 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest of our five sizes. Your real cost still depends on weight, since the county bills by the ton. A small container filled with concrete can cost more to empty than a larger one filled with cabinets, so keep dense material in its own load.
Three days generally costs the same as the standard five, because our pricing follows the job rather than the calendar. Weight is the variable that actually changes your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, then keep the container as long as you need it.
Nearly all home and construction debris is fair game: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt are fine too, and they are cheaper to dispose of when they travel alone. Check anything unusual with your account manager before it goes in.
