At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Middleton, Wisconsin, and the surrounding Dane County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Middleton mixes mid-century ranches around Pheasant Branch with newer building near Greenway Station and the Deming Way business park, so roof tear-offs, siding jobs, basement finishing, and new commercial construction all keep containers moving here.
Four things set your price: container size, the material going in, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below you will find price ranges, the street storage permit and its seasonal limits, the recycling duty that comes with a roofing or siding permit, and where a Middleton load ends up.

Disposal rates in Dane County are published and they reward sorting. Mixed trash runs $60.10 a ton at the county landfill, construction material sent for recycling runs $63.00 a ton, and clean asphalt shingles and clean brush each have their own lower lines. On a roofing job the shingle rate and the recycling route matter more than the container size.
Container size is still the main lever. Going up one size usually beats booking a second haul and beats paying overage on a container filled past its weight allowance.
Material weight decides the rest. Shingles, plaster, and old concrete reach a small container's limit while it still looks half empty. Framing lumber, drywall, cabinets, and furniture run out of volume first.
Middleton adds one local requirement worth pricing in. If you are pulling a building permit for a roof or siding, city rules require all construction debris from that project to be recycled and the permit holder to keep proof. Your account manager can set the job up so the paperwork works out.

Pick by volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense material. A single bathroom, a chimney teardown, or a load of broken patio concrete all fit inside its weight allowance.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle jobs. A packed garage, a laundry room redo, or carpet and pad pulled from a few rooms work without paying for empty space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for Middleton homes. It takes a whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and family room remodel together, or a reroof on a typical two-story house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, finished basements taken back to studs, and framing and siding waste from new construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial fit-outs along Deming Way, demolition work, and high-volume cleanouts are its usual jobs.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they will pick for you.
On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, Middleton requires no permit for a container. Keep it clear of the sidewalk and the carts area and you are set.
The street needs a permit, and the city names it plainly. A street storage permit from the Middleton Building Inspector covers machinery, equipment, or materials related to building construction placed in a street, alley, or other public way. The city's own fee schedule puts it at $30.00 per 30-day period or any part of one.
Three things about that permit shape the job. First, the city will not issue it where there is enough room on the lot, reachable from a street or alley, to store the material instead. Second, the conditions are real: a continuous roadway at least two thirds of the width between curbs and never under 18 feet, a continuous five-foot pedestrian path with railings and lighting if it is not the regular sidewalk, nothing within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, and danger signs and lights around the work. Third, there is a season. No street storage permit runs longer than six months, and none is issued between November 15 and March 15 without Public Works Committee approval, which matters for a winter project.
Skipping it is expensive. If an unlawful obstruction is not removed within 24 hours of notice from the City Engineer, the city removes it and the cost goes on the next tax roll as a special charge against the property.
Middleton Building Inspection and Public Works share one number, 608-821-8370, so a single call covers both the permit and the placement question. Your account manager can help you work out whether you need it at all.
Wood, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, furniture, and ordinary cleanout debris are all fine in a roll-off here. Wisconsin's limits are the ones to learn, because the state's list is broader than most.
Wisconsin bans a long list of materials from landfills and incinerators, and the ban applies everywhere in the state, in homes and on job sites alike. Cardboard, office paper, newspaper, magazines, glass containers, aluminium and steel cans, and plastic bottles marked 1 and 2 all have to be recycled instead. So do electronics, lead acid batteries, major appliances, used oil filters, waste oil, waste tires, and yard waste including brush under six inches thick. The state's environmental agency publishes the full banned list.
The county landfill adds its own refusals: no freon-containing appliances, no propane tanks, no cardboard, no aluminium containers, no waste oil, no hazardous chemicals, and no electronics. Asbestos is accepted only on the first Wednesday of the month and only with a permit arranged in advance.
City rules also bar stumps, logs, and tree roots from curbside collection, along with brush and yard waste generated by landscapers or tree services. Paint, solvents, fuel, and pool chemicals stay out of any container. If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Middleton's curbside service is weekly and runs on two carts per household, which is nowhere near enough for a renovation. The city caps commercial and industrial properties at four cart sets and tells residents not to place carts in the street at all, so a roll-off on the driveway is the practical answer.
Loads from Middleton go to the Dane County Landfill at 7102 Maahic Way, Madison, WI 53718, across from Yahara Hills Golf Course, about 20 miles east. The county runs it, and the gate is open 6:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, closed Sundays and holidays. It takes construction and demolition debris for disposal or for recycling.
Two gate rules matter to a hauled load. Every load must be secured with tie downs, a tarp, or enclosed in the vehicle, and an exposed load will not be accepted. The county also accepts waste only from Dane County, so material cannot be brought in from a job outside the county.
The same site holds the county's construction and demolition recycling building, which sorts C&D material locally and weighs in on the same county scale. That is where a roofing or siding load goes when the city's recycling requirement applies, and clean asphalt shingles have their own rate there. Your account manager will confirm which route your load takes and what the tipping fees come to before delivery.
7102 Maahic Way, Madison, WI 53718
County-run; open 6:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Saturday, closed Sundays and holidays.
Most Middleton deliveries can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container has to sit in the street, sort the city permit first, and remember the winter window.
Five things that keep a delivery on track:
Winter needs its own plan. The county gate closes at 3:15 p.m. on weekdays and by 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, and street storage permits are off the table between mid-November and mid-March without committee approval, so a cold-weather project works best entirely on the property.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Middleton, from downtown and the Hubbard Avenue district to Parmenter Street, the University Avenue and Century Avenue corridors, the neighborhoods near Pheasant Branch Conservancy and Pleasant View, the Lake Mendota shoreline, and the commercial sites around Greenway Station, Deming Way, and Airport Road. We schedule delivery, swaps, and pickup around your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out whether you need the street permit, and give you a 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.
A 10-yard container in Middleton runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. County disposal rates and the weight of your material move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the rate per extra ton when you book.
Renting wins quickly here. The county landfill is a 40-mile round trip across Madison, you pay by weight on each visit, and the gate closes mid-afternoon. One container covers the job and the disposal is already in the quote.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of cartons. Furniture fills the volume long before it reaches the weight limit, so plan around space.
Wisconsin bans cardboard, paper, glass and metal containers, plastic bottles marked 1 and 2, electronics, lead acid batteries, major appliances, used oil and oil filters, tires, and yard waste from disposal. Keep out paint, solvents, fuel, and pool chemicals as well. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The larger saving in Middleton often comes from sorting, because clean shingles and clean brush are charged at lower county rates than mixed trash. Your account manager can plan the split before delivery.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because we price the project rather than the calendar. The weight of your debris matters far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container arrives.
Wood, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, furniture, and ordinary cleanout debris are all fine in a Middleton container. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too and are simplest in their own load. Cardboard has to be recycled separately. Check borderline items with your account manager first.
