At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Nashua, New Hampshire, and the surrounding Hillsborough County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A big stock of mid-century homes on the north and west sides, triple-deckers and multifamily buildings near the mills, and continuing commercial construction along the Amherst Street and Daniel Webster Highway corridors all keep containers in demand.
Nashua is one of the few cities its size that owns and runs its own landfill, which changes the local math in a couple of useful ways. Below you will find the price ranges, the city's placement and hauling rules, what the landfill will and will not take, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Four things decide your number in Nashua, and the city landfill touches two of them.
Size comes first. Going one size up normally costs less than paying for extra weight or a second haul in the middle of a job.
What you load is next, and the local price list is specific about it. The city landfill charges fifteen cents a pound on a long list of ordinary remodel materials: sheetrock, lumber, plywood, roofing, siding, flooring, plaster, decking, cabinets, carpet, and underlayment among them. It also treats concrete that has been painted or that contains wire mesh or rebar as a chargeable item, which is a good reminder that clean concrete and contaminated concrete are not the same load.
Where the load goes is the third, and in Nashua it is unusually local. The Four Hills Landfill is inside the city on West Hollis Street, so haul distances are short. There is a catch worth knowing: the landfill accepts commercial loads only where the waste was generated in Nashua, and every commercial vehicle has to weigh in and out.
Local rules are the fourth. A container on your own property is simple; one in the street needs a written license first. Your account manager can line up all four before you commit.

Pick by volume and by density. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It fits a bathroom gut, one cleared room, or a landscaping job. It is also the right pick for concrete, brick, and soil, which reach the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, an old deck, or a small roof tear-off. On the tight lots common in Nashua's older neighborhoods it is often the practical maximum.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most popular choice for homes here. It takes a full house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms and still fits most driveways.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a large addition, a gut remodel, or a garage teardown. Choose it when the debris will be bulky and mixed.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with high volume and lighter material.
Not sure which to book? Describe the job to your account manager and they will pick the size that fits both the pile and the local weight charges.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, Nashua does not require a permit for the container. That is where most deliveries here go, and it is the simplest route.
Any part of a public street or sidewalk is different. City law lets the Board of Public Works grant a written license to obstruct or encumber part of a street, lane, alley, sidewalk, or other public place for building purposes, on whatever terms the Board considers safe and proper. A separate section makes it an offense to place stones, brick, lumber, or other building materials on a street or sidewalk without that written license first. So in the street, the license comes before the container.
A couple of practical points go with it. Anything left in a street or on a sidewalk overnight has to have a light placed over or near it to warn drivers and people on foot. And city law bars putting dirt, ashes, garbage, or similar material in any street or public place except where and how the Board of Public Works directs.
Start with the Engineering Department at 848 West Hollis St, which handles use of the city right-of-way. Call 603-589-3120, or use the engineering department page, which also publishes a guide to permits in the right-of-way. The Board meets monthly, so build in lead time. If you are not sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you confirm it before the truck is scheduled.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The limits here come from New Hampshire law and from what the city landfill will take.
New Hampshire now bars rechargeable lithium-ion batteries from landfills and incinerators, and the city states plainly that households and businesses must recycle them instead and that putting them in the trash is illegal. That reaches cordless tool packs, e-bike and scooter batteries, lawn equipment, phones, laptops, and tablets, which is a long list on a renovation site.
The Four Hills Landfill turns away ammunition and fireworks, antifreeze, battery acid, boats, cleaners, gasoline, large tree stumps, medical and infectious waste, oil-based paints and stains, pesticides, pool chemicals, sharps, and used motor oil. City law separately bars hazardous, toxic, radiological, and incompatible waste from the landfill, and a violation can cost a hauler its permit.
Asbestos is a special case. The landfill does take it, but only from Nashua sites, only with proper notice and compliance, and only when it has been pre-approved in advance. Never put it in a container without clearing it first.
The city also keeps rocks, concrete, asphalt, and dirt out of its automated collection carts, and reserves the right to impose size limits, quantity limits, preparation requirements, and documentation on the source of a load. If an item has you unsure, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Loads from Nashua go to the city's own Four Hills Landfill at 840 W. Hollis Street, Nashua, NH 03062. It has been open since 1970 and takes municipal solid waste and recyclables from residences and businesses in the city. The gate is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the Solid Waste Department answers on 603-589-3410.
Watch the scale, not the gate. The scale shuts off half an hour before closing, at 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, and the weigh office shuts 15 minutes after that. Every transaction there has to be finished at least 30 minutes before closing. Construction and demolition debris is accepted and has to weigh in.
Access is sold by the vehicle. The city's landfill page lists an annual permit of $50 per vehicle for businesses and haulers and $5 per vehicle for residents, free for residents aged 65 and over, bought on site. The same page sets the rule that matters most for a container: commercial haulers may use the facility only for waste generated by Nashua businesses and residents.
The Nashua Recycling Center shares the site and is open to residents and businesses in the city, with its own construction and demolition drop-off area. Your account manager confirms where your load is going and explains the charges before the container arrives.
840 W. Hollis Street, Nashua, NH 03062
City-owned landfill; scale shuts 30 minutes before closing and takes Nashua waste only.
Most Nashua rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container needs to sit in the street, start earlier, because the Board of Public Works license has to be in place first.
These five steps keep delivery day straightforward:
Two timing rules are worth remembering. Collection and transport through city streets is allowed only between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., and anything outside that needs the collector to apply in writing for the customer. And with the weigh scale shutting at 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, a late-afternoon pull often becomes a next-morning pull.

Nashua rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, on a five-day rental. What you load matters a lot here, since the city landfill charges by the pound on most remodel materials. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Nashua residents can use the city landfill with a cheap annual vehicle permit, so one small load is genuinely practical. Past that, the time, the fuel, and the per-pound charges on construction materials add up quickly, and a container handles the whole job in one go without repeat trips.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and several cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so a cleanout nearly always runs out of space before it runs out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous and toxic waste, liquids, gasoline, oil-based paint, used motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, medical waste, and sharps. Lithium-ion batteries are banned from New Hampshire landfills outright. Asbestos needs advance approval before it moves. Mention anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What goes in it still decides your final bill. Plaster, tile, and broken concrete can take a small container past its weight limit and add overage charges, so a separate clean load of heavy material usually saves money.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price covers the job rather than the calendar. Debris weight moves the bill far more than the day count does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what an extra ton costs before delivery day.
Most household and construction debris is allowed in Nashua, including lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and cardboard. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too and are cheaper in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before loading it.
