At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Monroe, Louisiana, and the rest of Ouachita Parish in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repairs and roof replacements come in waves here, Garden District houses get taken back to the studs, and commercial construction along Forsythe Avenue and the I-20 frontage keeps crews looking for containers they can load and have gone the same week.
Your price turns on the container you choose, what you load into it, how long you keep it, and the disposal charges at the landfill that takes it. Below are our ranges, the city permit that applies on a public street, what Louisiana will not let you bury or burn, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

A Monroe quote comes together from four pieces, and only one of them is the container itself.
Size is the obvious piece. Going one size larger adds less to the bill than ordering short and paying for a second haul, which is the most common way a budget slips on a remodel.
Weight is the piece people underestimate. Asphalt shingles, mortar, tile, and wet sheetrock are dense, and a storm-damaged roof can fill a 10-yard container's weight allowance while the container still looks half loaded. Tell us if shingles are involved and the quote gets built around that from the start.
Disposal is the piece we handle for you. Both landfills permitted to take waste in Ouachita Parish sit on the east side of Monroe, and each sets its own disposal charges rather than publishing a public rate. Your account manager confirms what the receiving facility will charge for your material before you commit.
City rules make up the last piece. The city's garbage and trash crews run on a monthly service fee for routine household and business pickup, which is not built for remodel debris, and anything parked on a public street needs a permit from the city first.

Pick by the volume you expect, then check the weight, because in Monroe roofing work is a common reason the weight runs out before the space does.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container offered. It fits a single bathroom, a small cleanout, or a load of brick and concrete, where the weight limit arrives long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is sized for a full garage, a kitchen tear-out, or a single-layer roof on an average house. It is the one we send most often for storm repair on a single home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for Monroe homeowners. A whole-house cleanout, flooring from several rooms, or a multi-room remodel all fit without crowding.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new construction, large additions, and demolition work. When a job produces mixed debris all day long, this is the size that keeps a crew from waiting.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial build-outs, light industrial cleanouts, and demolition that creates bulky, low-density waste by the truckload.
If two sizes look close, describe the job to your account manager and let them make the call.
A container that sits entirely on private property, in a driveway or inside a job site, does not need a city permit in Monroe. That changes the moment it occupies any part of a public street, alley, or sidewalk.
For that, the City of Monroe issues a public right-of-way permit through the Civil Engineering Division of its Department of Engineering. The city's own right-of-way application covers any work, activity, or use of the public right-of-way, lists construction and demolition among the purposes, and asks for the exact street location, the nearest cross streets, and how many calendar days you need.
The office is at 802 North 31st Street, and the number for both applications and inspections is 318-329-2210. Two timing rules sit on the permit: the city wants 72 hours' notice before anyone digs in the right-of-way, and 24 hours' notice to schedule an inspection. For street and sidewalk questions more generally, the Department of Public Works answers at 318-329-2209.
Monroe publishes no flat fee for the permit and no stated review time, so a call is faster than guessing. Your account manager can get you to the right desk at the city and line the permit up alongside your delivery date.
Framing lumber, sheetrock, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, and everyday cleanout junk are all fine in a roll-off container. The firm refusals come from Louisiana.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is blunt about where waste may go. Its own guidance says it is against state law to burn solid waste or to dump it on the ground anywhere in the state, even on land you own. The state counts construction and demolition debris, household trash, tires, furniture, plastic, paint, chemicals, asphalt shingles, and paper in that definition, which is exactly why the container route exists.
Tires are the clearest single rule. Louisiana requires waste tires to go to an authorized collection or processing site, and an individual may drop no more than five a day at a collection center. They do not belong in your container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel are out of a standard roll-off container everywhere, and Louisiana landfills are specifically barred from taking hazardous waste or liquid waste. Asbestos needs its own handling and cannot ride along with demolition debris.
A construction-debris-only site has one more catch worth knowing: those landfills are not allowed to take household garbage. A load that mixes kitchen trash into demolition debris can be refused or redirected. Tell your account manager what the pile actually contains and they will match it to a facility that can take it.
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.
Louisiana publishes its own list of permitted landfills, and for Ouachita Parish it shows two active disposal sites, both within Monroe. One is on Russell Sage Road east of the city, the other on Meadowlark Drive. Both are privately operated, so we name them by street rather than by brand, and both are licensed by the state for the full range of waste types.
That matters to you in two ways. Short hauls keep transport costs down, which is one reason Monroe pricing holds up well against cities that truck debris for an hour. And because each site sets its own charges rather than publishing a public rate sheet, the only honest number you will get is the one quoted for your specific load.
The city's own crews are a separate service. They collect residential and commercial garbage and trash on a monthly fee, which is not the same thing as taking a demolition load. Your account manager will confirm which facility is receiving your container, what weight comes with your rate, and how the city's collection rules apply to your address before the truck is scheduled.
Most Monroe rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. After a storm, that window tightens for everyone at once, so an early call is worth a lot.
These few steps keep delivery day smooth:
Weather is the other scheduling factor here. Heavy rain can slow a loaded truck off an unpaved drive, so if your drop spot is soft ground, mention it and we will plan the approach.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Monroe and the surrounding Ouachita Parish communities, from downtown and the Garden District out to the Forsythe Avenue and Lamy Lane corridors, the Bayou DeSiard and Cypress Point areas, and nearby West Monroe and Sterlington. Whether the job is one storm-damaged roof or a full commercial build, we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule. Prime Dumpster also serves other north Louisiana cities, and our Louisiana state page covers the rest of the state.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, confirm which landfill takes the load, and quote you a firm 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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, on a standard five-day rental. What you load and the disposal charge at the receiving landfill move the total from there. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before anything is delivered.
Hauling it yourself means paying at the gate on every trip, plus fuel, a borrowed truck, and your own time loading twice. Once a job runs past a couple of pickup loads, one container is normally cheaper and the debris leaves your yard in a single trip rather than over a week.
Yes, with room to spare. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so you run out of room long before you hit the limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Louisiana requires waste tires to go to an authorized collection or processing site instead. Household garbage also cannot be mixed into a load bound for a construction-debris-only landfill, so tell us what is in the pile.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Cheap to rent is not always cheap to empty, though. Fill a small container with shingles, mortar, or soaked sheetrock and the weight allowance runs out early. Keeping dense material in its own load is the better economy.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because a roll-off is priced per job rather than per day. Weight, not the calendar, is what moves your final bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with the container and what each extra ton runs before delivery.
Nearly all building and cleanout material is allowed: lumber, sheetrock, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, windows, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they often cost less kept separate. Anything you are unsure of is worth one question first.
