At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Mountlake Terrace, Washington, and the surrounding south Snohomish County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Light rail construction around the Terrace station, a long run of remodels on 1950s and 1960s homes, and steady commercial work along 220th Street keep roll-off containers in demand for owners and contractors here.
Pricing here follows container size, debris weight, rental length, and the per-ton charge at the county transfer station. One local point comes first, though: Mountlake Terrace runs its garbage collection through a provider under contract with the city, and city rules reach commercial containers as well as curbside cans. Your account manager confirms how that applies to your address before anything is booked. Below you will find price ranges, the permit picture, and the disposal rules that shape a load here.

Three forces move a quote in Mountlake Terrace, and the third one is unusual.
Size and weight work the way they do everywhere. A larger container costs more up front but beats an overage charge, and dense debris such as shingles, tile, or plaster uses up a weight allowance long before the space runs out.
Disposal cost is published here, which helps. Snohomish County charges $160 per ton plus tax at its transfer stations, with a minimum of $30 for a load of 360 pounds or less. That rate is set by the county, not by a hauler.
The third force is which station a load may enter. The county bars top-loaded open-top containers on rolling chassis from the Mountlake Terrace station at any time, and from the Everett station before 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. That single rule can add a drive and an afternoon wait to a pickup, and it is the reason we plan the haul before quoting rather than after.
City rules sit on top of all of that. Collection inside the city limits runs through a provider holding a written service agreement with Mountlake Terrace, and the city's rule treats construction and demolition waste as garbage. Your account manager works out how your project fits that before a container is scheduled.

Choose the size from the volume you expect and how dense it will be. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container we run. It fits a bathroom gut, a single-room cleanout, or a deck removal, and it is the right pick for concrete and brick because weight ends the job before volume does.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage, a basement, or one slope of a roof. It buys real capacity while still fitting a tight suburban driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that reaches several rooms. Most residential work fits inside it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers additions, new builds, and partial demolition, where a job keeps producing bulky mixed debris over weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with high volume.
Walk the job through with your account manager if two sizes look close, and they will tell you which one actually works at your site.
A container on private property, such as a driveway, a parking area, or a fenced site, does not need a street permit in Mountlake Terrace. City rules still reach where a commercial container sits, because container placement has to conform to the city zoning requirements.
Once any part of the container touches the public right-of-way, the city has a permit for it. Right of Way is one of the civil permits the city lists in its engineering construction permits, submitted through the city permit portal, with the fee due when the application goes in. Inspections are booked through the same portal rather than by phone.
Timing is the thing to watch. The permit counter is open Monday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it is closed on Friday. A Friday delivery that needs a street permit has to be arranged earlier in the week.
For a right-of-way question, start with Public Works at 425-774-6221, or call City Hall at 23204 58th Avenue West on 425-776-1161 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. Your account manager can also confirm which office handles your street and what the city expects to see.
One city rule matters more than the permit. Only a provider holding a current service agreement with the City may collect garbage inside Mountlake Terrace, and the City's definition of garbage includes demolition and construction waste. Homes and businesses here are required to use the City's provider, and the charges apply whether the service is used or not. Your Prime Dumpster account manager checks how that 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.
Most construction and cleanout debris loads normally. The restrictions come from Washington's separate rules for dangerous waste and from what the county stations turn away.
The city bars hazardous waste, hazardous substances, household hazardous substances, and moderate-risk waste from its collection system outright, and it says those materials have to be taken by the person who generated them to an authorized handler. That covers paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, and similar items, plus asbestos. Hot ashes are barred from any container as well.
Yard debris has a hard rule of its own here. The city makes it unlawful to mix residential or commercial yard debris into garbage set out for collection, and it treats plastic bags as a contaminant rather than a container. The county stations also refuse yard and clean wood debris entirely, so those have to go somewhere else.
The county will not accept dangerous or moderate-risk waste at any of its stations, and its recycling areas are open to residential customers only. That means a commercial load has to be clean enough for the garbage area rather than relying on sorting at the gate.
When an item has you unsure, ask your account manager before it goes in. In this city the answer sometimes changes which station the load can reach.
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.
Mountlake Terrace sends its waste into the Snohomish County disposal system, and the city code requires it. The closest facility is the Southwest Recycling and Transfer Station at 21311 61st Place West, right inside the city, open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed on New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
That station is handy for a car or a pick-up but not for a top-loaded roll-off. The county's vehicle restrictions bar top-loaded open-top containers on rolling chassis from the Mountlake Terrace site at any time, while hydraulic dump vehicles are allowed. Loads in that format go instead to the Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station at 10700 Minuteman Drive in Everett, which takes them after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and after 1 p.m. at weekends.
Both sites charge the same way, by weight, with a minimum per load, and drivers unload their own vehicles and must arrive at least 30 minutes before closing. Your account manager will confirm which station your load is going to, what the gate charges, and how the restriction affects pickup timing before anything is delivered.
21311 61st Place West, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043
Open seven days a week 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; top-loaded open-top containers on rolling chassis are not permitted at any time.
10700 Minuteman Drive, Everett, WA 98204
Open seven days a week 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; top-loaded open-top containers are taken after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Most rentals in this area can be arranged within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Plan on a little more lead time here than elsewhere, because the city's collection rule and the station restriction both get checked first.
Five habits that keep a delivery on track:
Station hours matter at the back end. The Everett site stops taking a top-loaded container before 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, so a container that fills in the morning is usually collected later the same day rather than straight away.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will check the local collection rule for your address, work out which county station can take the load, and give you a clear price 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 container runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. County disposal is charged by the ton, so debris weight drives the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage, the overage rate, and how the local collection rule applies before booking.
Self-hauling means paying the county minimum on every trip plus fuel and your own time, and a pick-up holds far less than people expect. A container on site covers a whole project in one haul. The county station in town also limits its recycling area to residential customers.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged clutter. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will run out of room well before you reach the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and hot ashes all stay out. Washington treats dangerous and moderate-risk waste separately, and the county stations refuse them. Yard and clean wood debris are also refused at the county stations, so they need their own route.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Weight still decides your real cost, because dense debris can pass a small container's allowance and add overage charges. Keeping heavy material in its own load is usually the cheaper approach in this area.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Debris weight affects your bill far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, cardboard, and general demolition debris are all acceptable. Clean concrete and brick are fine too, and they are best kept in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager, since it can change which station takes the load.
