At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Mount Vernon, Washington, and the wider Skagit Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes on the hill above downtown, new building along the College Way corridor, and steady farm and construction work out toward the delta all create debris that a container handles better than a pickup truck.
Your price moves with four things: the size you pick, the kind of debris you load, how long you keep the container, and what the county charges to take the load. Below you will find our price ranges, the street rules in town, where your debris ends up, and what the county will refuse.

Four things move the number on a Mount Vernon quote, and the first is simply how much room you need.
Size is the easy part. A larger container costs more at the start, yet it is usually cheaper than booking a second haul because the first one filled up early.
Weight is the part people miss. Skagit County bills by the ton, so a load of shingles or broken concrete costs far more to dump than the same volume of cabinets and drywall. Right now the county charges $141.00 per ton for general waste, with a $28.00 minimum on any trip. Those are county numbers, not ours.
Where the load can go matters here too. Skagit County runs three disposal sites, but only one of them takes construction and demolition debris, so a remodel load has a single destination and a set drive.
Local rules round it out. The City of Mount Vernon runs trash and container service as a city utility, and the City also decides what may sit on a street. Your account manager checks how both rules land on your address before any date is held.

Pick your size by volume first, then sanity check it against weight. We carry containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one to use for dense material. Concrete, brick, roofing tear-offs, and soil hit the weight limit long before they fill the walls, so a small container keeps the bill honest. It also suits a bathroom gut or a shed teardown.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits the jobs in between. Think a packed garage, one floor of carpet and pad, or a small reroof on a single-story house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Mount Vernon homeowners end up renting. It swallows a full-house cleanout or a kitchen and bath done together without leaving much air at the top.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for real volume: an addition, a whole-home remodel, or a tenant turnover on a commercial space. Mixed debris stacks up faster than most people expect.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for demolition, new construction, and industrial cleanouts where the crew is loading all week.
Still torn between two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they will tell you which way to lean.
On private ground, a driveway, a yard, or a fenced job site, Mount Vernon does not make you pull a permit for the container itself. Keep it on your own property and you are clear.
The street is a different matter. Mount Vernon's street rules say that anyone who places a container, a stand, building material, or any other object on, beside, or over a street or sidewalk in a way that blocks the free flow of traffic has to get a permit first. The code names a container in those words, so there is no grey area about whether it applies.
There is also a second route for building work. The city council's street committee can grant a special permit to occupy a street with building material during construction or repair, on the condition that it takes up no more space than it needs and the work moves along quickly.
Applications run through the City's online permit portal, which the City lists on its applications and forms page. The permit desk takes questions at 360-336-6214. The City does not publish a fee or a review time for this one, so build in a few extra days. If you are not sure where your property line stops and the right-of-way starts, your account manager can point you to the right office before you commit to a delivery date.
One city rule matters more than the permit. Mount Vernon runs trash and container service as a city utility, and its rules make use of that city system compulsory for every property. The city's definition of solid waste includes construction and demolition waste, and the city rents out its own roll-off containers for that work. Your Prime Dumpster account manager checks how the rule applies to 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.
Ordinary remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Washington state rules and from what Skagit County will take at the scale.
The county turns away asbestos-containing material, liquid waste, anything the state classifies as dangerous waste, petroleum-contaminated soil, creosote-treated wood, pressurized fuel containers over a gallon, septic tank waste, medical sharps, and large amounts of cooking grease. Sod, seed, bulbs, and sawdust are out as well, and so are structural steel and wall metal pipe.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and used oil never belong in a standard container anywhere.
Electronics have their own path in Washington. E-Cycle Washington takes televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, and tablets free of charge, because the metals inside them are meant to stay out of the landfill. Pull them before your container goes out.
Tires are capped at four per load at the county site, and they have to be passenger car or light truck tires, kept separate. Appliances are billed per piece. Tell your account manager about any of these when you book and nothing surprises you later.
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.
Nearly every container delivered in town is emptied at the Skagit County Recycling and Transfer Station, run by the Skagit County Public Works Solid Waste Division at 14104 Ovenell Road, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. The county's transfer station page lists it open 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., closed on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Ovenell Road matters because it is the only county site that will take your remodel debris. The two satellite stations, at Concrete and at Clear Lake, turn away construction and demolition material outright. The same county guidance sets length limits on what you load: two-by-fours and smaller under eight feet, heavier four-by stock under six feet, anything bigger under four feet, and sheet goods no larger than four square feet.
Skagit County also runs a destination rule. Waste generated or collected inside the county has to go to a designated county site, and that applies to material produced inside the city just as much as out in the valley. Your account manager confirms the receiving site and walks you through the county charges before the truck rolls.

Open 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; the only Skagit County site that takes construction and demolition debris.
Most Mount Vernon orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving us a few extra days costs you nothing and often saves money, since it leaves room to sort out a street permit and clear the drop spot.
Five things make delivery go smoothly:
Keep the county schedule in view as well. Ovenell Road closes on six holidays a year, and a container filled the night before one of them waits until the gate opens again.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Mount Vernon and the surrounding Skagit County communities, from downtown and the Little Mountain neighborhoods to West Mount Vernon, College Way, and the farms and small towns along the river toward Burlington, Conway, Big Lake, and Clear Lake. Whether the job is a single bathroom or a full lot clearing, we schedule delivery, pickup, and disposal around the way you actually work.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the debris, confirm where it is going, and quote you on the spot.
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 Mount Vernon runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and what the county charges at the scale move the final number. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Hauling it yourself looks cheap until you count the trips. Every run to Ovenell Road carries a minimum charge no matter how light the load, plus fuel and most of a morning. Past two or three loads, one container almost always comes out ahead on both money and time.
It will. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you run out of space well before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Skagit County also refuses dangerous waste, petroleum-soaked soil, creosote wood, and pressurized fuel containers over a gallon. Televisions, computers, and monitors go to a free state recycling drop-off instead of your container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. That said, the cheapest rental is the one sized right for your debris. Load a small container with concrete or wet soil and the county weight charge will cost you more than the next size up would have.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives your bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before you book.
Almost all remodel and cleanout debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are welcome too, and they usually cost less when kept in their own load. Unsure about one item? Ask your account manager first.
