At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Mesquite, Texas, and the eastern Dallas County suburbs around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mesquite is a city of mid-century brick ranch homes that are now being gutted and rebuilt one at a time, and the warehouse and retail construction along the Interstate 635 and US 80 corridors keeps a steady stream of mixed debris moving.
Mesquite is also one of the places where who hauls your container is a local question, not just a price question. Below you will find our price ranges, the city rule that decides how a container gets placed here, what the city facilities will and will not take, and where a Mesquite load ends up.

Three things usually set the number in Mesquite, and the first is simply how big a container you take. Going one size up costs less than booking a second haul later.
Weight is the second. Disposal here is billed by the ton, and the city's own posted rate for an open-top container is $37.84 per ton. Roofing, plaster and tile add up quickly against any included tonnage, so tell us what is coming out of the house before we quote.
The third is a Mesquite question rather than a Texas one. The city treats itself as the provider of record for trash hauling inside the city limits, and its rules on what counts as an approved container are specific. That is worth settling before you pick a date, not after.
Your account manager will walk you through all three and tell you exactly what the quote covers.

Match the size to the volume first, then check it against the weight of what you are loading. Prime Dumpster stocks 10 through 40 yard containers.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the densest-duty option. One bathroom, one small room, or a load of brick and dirt will fill its weight allowance well before it fills the walls.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the step up most people actually want for a garage, a shed tear-down, or a single roof slope. It holds noticeably more without needing a bigger drop area.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a Mesquite ranch house being emptied or remodeled across several rooms. It still fits on a standard double driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, full gut jobs and new builds. Its taller walls help when the debris is bulky rather than heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry, and it is aimed at commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts and big construction sites.
If two sizes seem close, describe the job to your account manager and let them do the math on weight.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, Mesquite has no container permit to pull. That is where almost every container in the city belongs.
The city does not publish a street placement permit for dumpsters at all. What it does publish is a blunt rule that nothing in its waste code should be read as permission to leave debris on a street, curb, sidewalk or other public ground, and the public works director can order an obstruction removed. So plan on a private spot.
There is a second question here that matters more than paperwork. The City of Mesquite states on its commercial solid waste page that it is the sole provider of trash hauling for residential and commercial sites, and it asks customers to coordinate directly with the city to set up service. The city runs its own open-top containers in 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for contractors and homeowners doing remodeling work. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies at your address before anything is booked, so you are not left guessing.
The office that answers these questions is the City of Mesquite Solid Waste Division at 1101 E. Main St. Its information line is 972-216-6285, open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your account manager can make that call with you and get you to the right person.
The City's rule reaches the container itself. Mesquite allows only authorized containers for commercial collection, which means one owned by the City, one from a company under contract with or permitted by the City, or one the customer owns. A container outside that list can be impounded by the City. Your Prime Dumpster account manager checks how the rule applies at your address before anything is scheduled.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
Texas sets a short, firm list of things that cannot be buried at any municipal waste facility in the state. Lead acid batteries, do-it-yourself motor oil, used oil filters, whole scrap tires, liquid waste, regulated hazardous waste and anything holding chlorinated fluorocarbon gas are all out. That last group means a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner has to be handled separately.
Mesquite adds limits of its own, and one of them surprises people. The city's container rules bar concrete, masonry products and earthen materials outright, along with any single item longer than three feet in any direction or heavier than fifty pounds. If your job is a patio tear-out or a driveway removal, say so early, because that material needs a different plan here than it would two cities over.
Paint, engines, lawn mowers, tires and wheels, and any unsealed food waste are also on the city's prohibited list. The Citizens Convenience and Recycling Center turns away roofing material, rocks, dirt, paint and automotive fluids as well.
When you are unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in. One load turned away costs far more than one phone call.
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.
Mesquite's curbside service is built for bagged household trash in a city-issued cart, not for debris. Bricks, concrete, rocks, dirt and paint are specifically excluded from the city's bulky and special collection services, which is why a remodel needs a container rather than a few extra bags at the curb.
Waste collected inside the city is handled at the City of Mesquite Solid Waste Transfer Station at 1101 E. Main St., Mesquite, TX 75149, inside the city's Municipal Service Center. The city operates the site itself and can be reached there at 972-216-6925. From the transfer station, material moves out to a permitted landfill by the trailer load rather than being buried on site.
Households also have the Citizens Convenience and Recycling Center at 3550 Lawson Rd., Mesquite, TX 75181, open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is free, but it is capped at one visit a month and it is for material from your own home, so it is a complement to a container rather than a replacement for one.
Because disposal here is billed by the ton at a published rate, the biggest variable in your bill is public knowledge. Your account manager will confirm which facility your load goes to and what that rate means for your quote.
1101 E. Main St., Mesquite, TX 75149
City-run transfer station inside the Municipal Service Center; the solid waste office here is open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
3550 Lawson Rd., Mesquite, TX 75181
Open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for Mesquite households only, one visit a month.
Most Mesquite orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Build in a little extra lead time here, because the city's provider rule is worth settling before a truck is dispatched.
These five habits keep a Mesquite delivery on track:
Noise rules matter here too. Within 1,000 feet of a home, collection in Mesquite has to happen between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., so a very early or very late swap is not an option.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster works across Mesquite and the eastern edge of the Dallas County metro, from the older neighborhoods near Town East and the Municipal Service Center out to the newer subdivisions on the Kaufman County side of the city, and on into the nearby communities of Balch Springs, Garland, Rowlett, Sachse and Forney. Wherever the job sits, we line up the container, the haul and the disposal around your build schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, sort out how the local hauling rule applies to your address, and give you a clear number before you commit.
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 based on a five-day rental. Disposal is billed by the ton on top of the base, so the weight of your debris moves the total more than anything else. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
For a single pickup load, hauling it yourself is fine. Past that, the math turns. The free city drop-off site is capped at one visit a month and only takes material from your own home, so a real remodel means repeat trips, fuel, and your weekend. One container covers it in a single haul.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will almost always run out of room before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, scrap tires and lead acid batteries. Appliances holding refrigerant need separate handling. In Mesquite, concrete, masonry and earthen material are barred from city containers too, so raise any demolition debris when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. It is only the cheapest option if what you load is light. Dense material eats the weight allowance fast and the overage charge can wipe out the saving, so talk the debris through with your account manager before you choose.
Three days usually costs what five days costs, because the price is built around delivery, the haul and the tonnage rather than the calendar. Shortening the rental rarely lowers the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton adds.
Ordinary building and household debris is fine: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet, cardboard and general cleanout junk. Yard material is usually welcome too. Heavy rubble is the exception in Mesquite, so clear concrete, brick and dirt with your account manager before loading any of it.
