At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Minnetonka, Minnesota, and the western Hennepin County suburbs around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Most of Minnetonka was built between the 1950s and the 1980s on wooded lots, so the work here runs to second-generation remodeling: kitchens and bathrooms, lower-level finishes, deck and siding replacement, roof tear-offs, and lake-side additions, with commercial construction and tenant fit-outs along the Highway 7 and I-394 corridors adding the heavier loads.
Minnetonka sets out in writing exactly where a container may sit at a house and how long it may stay, and the answer changes depending on whether the City has issued a construction permit for the job. That rule, container sizes, the licensing position, disposal limits and delivery timing are all covered below.

Three local things move a Minnetonka number more than anything else.
The first is the driveway, because that is where the container goes. Minnetonka requires a container at a single-family or two-family home to sit on a paved or graveled driveway or parking area, as far back from the street as is reasonably possible, and it may not stand on the paved part of a public street at all. Only one container is allowed per parcel at a time. So the size that fits your driveway is the size the job gets, and a staged plan with one unit swapped out beats two units side by side.
The second is how long you need it. A cleanout container may stay at a Minnetonka address for up to 30 days in any twelve-month period. If the City has issued a construction permit for the work, that rises to 180 days in the same twelve months. The clock runs against the address rather than the rental, which matters if the property already had a container earlier in the year.
The third is weight. Shingles, plaster, tile and concrete are dense, so a small container loaded with them reaches its tonnage allowance while it still looks half full. Cabinetry, drywall, carpet and general household material are bulky and light, so a bigger container stretches much further. Splitting a heavy load into a 10-yard unit and putting everything else in a larger one is usually cheaper than one mixed container that runs over on weight. Your account manager prices both ways on the call.
One cost most Minnetonka customers do not expect is the disposal side. Hennepin County's two drop-off sites take household material from county residents only and will not accept waste from a business, so a container load travels to a private transfer station or demolition landfill instead. Our quote includes that haul.

Start with the driveway, then the debris list. There are five sizes available here, from 10 up to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is where Minnetonka's heaviest debris belongs. Concrete, brick, plaster, tile and dirt belong here, and its short twelve-foot body leaves room to park a car beside it on a typical Minnetonka drive.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage or basement cleanout, one room of flooring, or a small roof section, without taking the whole apron.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Minnetonka homes end up with. A kitchen and bathroom remodel together, or a whole-house declutter, fits comfortably, and it swallows cabinets and furniture.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a full renovation, an addition or a lower-level build-out, where debris accumulates over several weeks. It wants a wide driveway or a commercial pad.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest unit we run, and it is meant for commercial strip-outs, demolition and new construction rather than a residential drive.
Give your account manager the driveway width and length, the slope, and what is going in, and they will size the largest container the property can legally hold.
On private property the answer is no. Minnetonka publishes no container permit or application for a driveway placement, because the city code sets the conditions directly instead of creating a permit. What you have to meet are those conditions: the container sits on a paved or graveled driveway or parking area, as far from the public street as reasonably possible, one per parcel, kept in sound condition, and used only for a permitted construction project or a property cleanout within the day limits above. If neither a paved nor a graveled area works at your address, the community development director can approve another spot, and that is the one approval worth asking about early.
Street placement is the part to know before you plan anything. At a single-family or two-family home, the code states that a container may not be on the paved portion of a public street. There is no permit limb attached, so there is nothing to apply for. In practice a Minnetonka container goes on the driveway.
The City also licenses the companies that collect waste here. A collector applies to the community development director, lists every vehicle it will use by license number, states the areas it serves and its charges, carries a million dollars of general liability and automobile cover, and renews each year by the end of July. A vehicle that is not on the license can only be used in a short emergency and then after the City inspects it. Every truck carries a copy of the license and shows the company name on both sides.
Two practical points come out of that license. Collection vehicles working under it are expressly exempt from the City's seasonal road weight restrictions, provided no single axle goes over 18,000 pounds, which is why spring thaw does not stop a Minnetonka pickup the way it can elsewhere in the metro. And the City's vehicle standard is a tight cover rather than an enclosed packer body.
For the street question or an alternative placement, the offices to reach are Minnetonka Public Works and the City's licensing desk, both at City Hall on Minnetonka Boulevard. Your account manager will confirm which one your address needs, and make the call, before a delivery window is set.
Ordinary remodeling and cleanout debris loads without trouble: lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, shingles, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard are all fine, and clean concrete, brick and tile go in the smallest unit.
What has to stay out is the hazardous list. Minnetonka's code bars explosives, highly flammable material and hazardous waste from any waste container, and sends hazardous material to state and federal handling instead. So no paint, solvents, thinners, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, asbestos-containing material, batteries or liquids of any kind.
Household hazardous material from a Minnetonka home goes to a Hennepin County drop-off site instead, in sealed, upright, labelled containers of five gallons or less, with proof of residency. The county takes that material from households in seven metro counties but not from a business.
The code also carries a standard that attaches to the container rather than the truck. A waste container here has to be watertight and rodent-proof when closed, kept covered while it holds waste, and free of sharp edges that could injure the person emptying it. The units are maintained to that standard, and a tarp over an open load is part of the service.
Where something sits on the line, old fuel cans, a sealed drum, a flat-screen television, put it to your account manager before the container is loaded.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Minnetonka does not own a landfill or a transfer station. The destination is a term of the collector's city license: a licensed collector may dispose of waste only at a site approved by every agency with authority over it and operated in line with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency rules. Your account manager confirms the receiving site for your material when the quote is written.
Hennepin County runs two public drop-off sites, and both are worth knowing about even though neither can take a container load.
The Hennepin County Recycling Center and Transfer Station is at 8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445, on 612-348-3777. The South Hennepin Recycling and Problem Waste Drop-Off Center is at 1400 West 96th Street, Bloomington, MN 55431, on the same number. Both are open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and closed Sunday, Monday and holidays.
The limit is the important part. The County states on its drop-off facilities page that these sites serve Hennepin County households only, that it does not generally accept waste from businesses, and that it will not take waste from commercial activity even when it was stored at a house. So they are the right answer for a car boot of household hazardous material and the wrong answer for a renovation.
Container loads of construction debris from Minnetonka therefore travel to a privately run transfer station or demolition landfill in the metro, most of them in Blaine, Burnsville, Shakopee and Minneapolis. Those sites differ on treated wood and railroad ties, so your account manager checks the destination against your material instead of promising one in advance.
8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445
County-run and open Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for Hennepin County household material only.
1400 West 96th Street, Bloomington, MN 55431
County-run and open Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; no business or container loads accepted.
Most Minnetonka orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the street is not available at a house here, nearly all of the preparation is on your own property.
Five things that keep it moving:
Collection is not allowed within 400 feet of homes before 6 a.m. or after 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and not at all on Sunday, so a Friday afternoon or Monday morning pickup is the realistic bracket on a weekend finish.

Across a five-day Minnetonka rental the 10-yard sits between $399 and $499 and the 40-yard between $699 and $899, with three sizes in between. In Minnetonka the driveway usually decides the size, because a container cannot stand on a public street at a house. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the rate above it.
For any real renovation, renting wins here. Hennepin County's two drop-off sites take household material from residents only and no business waste at all, so self-hauling a remodel means repeat trips to a private transfer station in another suburb. One container does it in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard unit, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and boxes around it. Upholstered furniture fills volume without adding much weight, so the walls run out before the tonnage does.
Explosives, highly flammable material and hazardous waste are barred from any waste container in Minnetonka. That means paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, asbestos material, batteries and liquids stay out. Household hazardous material goes to a Hennepin County drop-off site instead.
The 10-yard at $399 to $499 is the lowest Minnetonka price, and it is the right unit for concrete, brick, plaster and tile. It is not always the cheapest outcome, though, because dense debris hits its weight allowance fast. Splitting heavy material out is usually what saves money.
Three days prices much the same as five in Minnetonka, because the cost sits in the haul and the tonnage rather than the number of nights. Weight is what moves the bill. Your account manager will set out the included tonnage and the overage rate in your quote.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, shingles, tile, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard are all fine, and clean concrete, brick and stone are accepted in the smallest size. Treated wood is handled differently by different receiving sites, so flag it. Anything unusual is worth a call first.
