At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Monroe, Washington, and the Skykomish Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Monroe keeps growing along US 2 and State Route 522, and between new construction, older homes getting updated, and the barns and outbuildings coming down on acreage east of town, there is steady work for a container.
Four things set what you pay: the size you choose, what you put in it, how long it sits, and the per-ton rate at the county transfer station. Keep reading for our price ranges, the street permit, where your load goes, and what the county will not take.

Here is what actually moves a Monroe quote up or down.
Start with size. Going one step bigger adds to the base price, but it beats paying for a second trip when the first container tops out halfway through the job.
Then look at weight, because Snohomish County charges by the ton. The county's posted rate is $160 per ton over 360 pounds, with a $30 minimum per vehicle. Roofing, tile, and concrete eat through a weight allowance fast; cabinets and drywall barely dent it.
Sorting matters more here than in most places. The county transfer stations will not take clean wood or yard debris as garbage at all, so framing scrap and brush have to be kept out and sent to an organics recycler. That can mean two containers on a bigger job, and your account manager will tell you when it does.
One more county charge worth knowing: an uncovered load gets hit with an unsecured load fee of $25 for a heavy truck. That is why your container gets tarped before it leaves your driveway.
Finally, local rules. Monroe runs curbside trash and container service through contracted providers, and both the City and Snohomish County have rules about who may collect a load and where it has to go. Your account manager confirms how those apply to your address before a date is held.

Match the container to your volume, then check it against weight. We stock 10 through 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for heavy, dense loads. Concrete, brick, dirt, and a shingle tear-off will reach the weight limit with room still showing at the top. It also handles a bathroom gut or a small deck removal.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. A stuffed garage, one level of carpet and pad, or a modest reroof all fit without jumping to a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Monroe households pick. It takes a full cleanout or a kitchen and bath remodel together and still closes up neatly.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a gut remodel, or a commercial turnover. Mixed debris piles up faster than people plan for, and the extra height helps.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest. It is for demolition, new builds, and industrial cleanouts where loading runs all week.

Keep the container on private property, a driveway, a yard, or inside a fenced job site, and Monroe does not require a permit for the container itself.
Put any part of it on a City street, alley, or sidewalk and you need the City's Right-of-Way Disturbance permit. It sits on the same combined application the City uses for grading and fencing, and the City's Development Review Engineer sets the conditions and signs off.
Since March 2026, those applications go through an online portal. Public works and engineering permits, right-of-way work included, are filed and tracked there, with fees paid online.
If you would rather do it in person, the Permit Center at Monroe City Hall, 806 West Main Street, takes walk-ins during posted counter hours. Questions go to 360-863-4501. The City does not publish a fee or a turnaround for this permit, so apply early. The City's permitting page lists it under engineering permits, and your account manager can help you work out whether your spot counts as right-of-way at all.
One city rule matters more than the permit. In Monroe it is unlawful for anyone other than the City's contractor to collect garbage in the city for pay, and the City's definition of garbage includes demolition and construction waste. No home or business in the city may refuse to subscribe to the City's service. Your Prime Dumpster account manager checks how that applies to your project 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.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The real limits come from the county transfer stations and from Washington state rules.
Snohomish County will not accept dangerous waste or moderate risk waste at any of its facilities. Motor vehicle parts are refused everywhere in the county system, whole cars and ATVs included. Friable asbestos has to clear the regional clean air agency first. Car batteries are capped at three per visit and hybrid batteries are not taken at all. Appliances holding refrigerant are handled on their own track.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and used oil stay out of any container, always.
The surprise for most people is wood. The county's acceptance list says clean boards and tree branches must go to a yard debris or organics recycler, not into a garbage load. Mixed demolition debris is still fine, but a container of clean framing scrap belongs somewhere else.
Electronics have a free statewide option. E-Cycle Washington takes televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, and tablets at no charge, which keeps their toxic parts out of the landfill. Clear them out before pickup, and run anything you are unsure about past your account manager.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Loads from Monroe go to a Snohomish County transfer station, and the closer of the two the City points residents to is the Airport Road Recycling & Transfer Station at 10700 Minuteman Drive, Everett, WA 98204. The county's facility page lists it open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
North of here, the North County Recycling & Transfer Station at 19600 63rd Avenue NE, Arlington, WA 98223 keeps the same days and hours and the same per-ton rate. Which one your load uses depends on the route and the time of day, because both sites restrict when certain trailers and open-top containers can be serviced.
Snohomish County also enforces a destination rule. Garbage created in the county has to be disposed of inside the county, which is why your load stays local rather than heading for a cheaper site elsewhere. Your account manager confirms which station is taking your container and what the county will charge before the truck is dispatched.
10700 Minuteman Drive, Everett, WA 98204
Open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; run by the Snohomish County Solid Waste Division.
19600 63rd Avenue NE, Arlington, WA 98223
Same hours and the same per-ton rate; the alternate county station north of Monroe.
Most Monroe bookings can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days out costs nothing extra and usually saves money, since it leaves room for the street permit and for getting the spot cleared.
Five things that make a delivery go right:
Plan around the county calendar too. Both transfer stations close on four holidays a year and stop taking loads thirty minutes before the posted closing time, so a late Friday fill can slip to the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Monroe and the nearby Snohomish County communities, from downtown and the Fryelands to North Hill, the Woodlands, Chain Lake, and the acreage out along the Tualco and Ben Howard roads. Whether you are redoing one room or taking down an outbuilding, we line up delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule rather than ours.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, sort out where the load is headed, and give you a real 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 Monroe runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the county's per-ton charge move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before your delivery date.
Self-hauling costs less only on tiny jobs. The county charges a minimum per vehicle no matter how light your load, and you pay it on every trip, plus fuel and the drive to Everett. Once a job runs past two or three loads, a single container is cheaper and much faster.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. With furniture you almost always run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Snohomish County also refuses dangerous waste, motor vehicle parts, and hybrid batteries, and it will not take clean wood or yard debris as garbage. Televisions and computers go to a free state recycling drop-off.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. The cheapest total bill, though, comes from sizing correctly. Fill a small container with wet soil or broken concrete and the county weight charge can cost more than stepping up a size would have.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, because the price is built around the job rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before you commit.
Nearly all remodel and cleanout debris: drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, mixed demolition material, and household junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are welcome and often cost less as their own load. Check any odd item with your account manager first.
