At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off container delivery across Newark, Ohio, and the rest of Licking County in five sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Newark is an old industrial county seat with a large stock of pre-war housing around the downtown square and the Arcade district, so the work here runs to plaster and lath removal, porch and roof replacement, basement clearing and full rehabilitation, with construction and commercial projects out along State Route 16 and the Route 79 corridor.
Newark publishes very little about containers itself, and we would rather say so than invent guidance. What we can set out properly is the practical side: how to size a container for the local housing, what the county recycling operation will and will not take, the Ohio scrap tire threshold that catches people out, and how the Columbus area rules that you may have read about do not apply here.

Three things move a Newark quote.
Weight leads, and the age of the housing is why. Plaster and lath out of a pre-war Newark house is dense and heavy, and one floor of it can take a 10 or a 15-yard unit to its tonnage allowance while the walls are barely covered. Brick, sandstone foundation material and two or three layers of old roofing do the same. Framing lumber, cabinets, carpet, furniture and general clutter are light for their volume, so a 20 or a 30 usually buys more remodel per dollar.
Sorting is the second. Clean masonry, clean wood and mixed debris are each handled differently at the receiving end, so three smaller containers often beat one mixed one on total cost. Tires are the sharpest example: Ohio's state scrap tire rules engage once you are moving ten or more, which is a real threshold on a garage clearance, so they are better kept out of the container entirely.
Placement is the third, and in Newark it is cheaper than in most cities. Placed on your own driveway or lot, there is nothing extra to pay at all. For a public place the City runs a permit under its public improvements rules, and notably the surety and construction performance bond sections of that chapter have both been repealed. There is no bond standing behind a Newark permit, which is unusual and helpful.

Material decides first, access second. The downtown and Arcade district streets have narrow drives and alley access; the newer east-side subdivisions have room for anything.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for heavy material. Plaster, brick, sandstone, concrete and soil belong here, and twelve feet fits a short drive or an alley setdown.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clearing, one bathroom, or a small tear-off, and it keeps a heavy load within reach of the weight allowance.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common Newark choice for a kitchen and bathroom together, a basement clearing, or a mid-size roof, and it handles furniture easily.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a whole-house rehabilitation or an addition, where there is volume and the debris is light for its bulk.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is built for commercial and industrial demolition along the state routes, and it needs open ground.
Tell your account manager the material and the setdown spot, including alley width and overhead wires, and they will size it to whichever limit you reach first.
On private property, a container on your own driveway, yard or fenced site is the normal arrangement, and the City publishes no container permit for private ground. That covers nearly every Newark delivery and it is the route we start from.
For a public place the answer sits with the City's engineering office rather than with a published form. Newark's own website is unusually quiet on the subject: a search of the entire city site for the word dumpster returns no results at all, and a search for solid waste returns only the water and wastewater plants and the stormwater utility. So there is no city guidance page to point you at, and we will not invent one.
Newark publishes its codified ordinances through an outside code library rather than on its own website, and that library is not currently serving us. Rather than describe licensing or placement rules we have not read, we settle the position with the City for your specific address before anything is scheduled. The City offices are at 40 W. Main Street and the City line is 740-670-7500, and the engineering permits counter is the office that answers placement questions.
In practice that is a short call rather than an obstacle. Your account manager makes it, confirms whether your frontage needs anything, and tells you plainly if the answer changes the plan or the date.
Everyday Licking County renovation, roofing and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from the receiving facility and from the usual hazardous categories.
Liquids stay out, and so do paint, solvents, thinners, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals and pesticides. Appliances holding refrigerant, fluorescent tubes, batteries, televisions and computer equipment all have separate routes.
Tires deserve their own mention in Ohio. The state licensing rules for moving scrap tires engage at ten tires, which is a lower threshold than most people expect and easy to pass on a garage or barn clearance. Keep them out of the container and handle them separately.
Asbestos needs testing and licensed handling, not a judgement made while loading. In Newark's pre-war housing it shows up in pipe and boiler lagging, floor tile adhesive, shingle siding and textured ceilings, so order the test before demolition starts.
Ohio does not publish a readable statewide banned-materials table, so we will not present one. What we do instead is confirm what the receiving facility for your specific load will and will not take, which is the answer that actually governs your job. Raise anything unusual with 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.
Newark sits in Licking County, and the county's public recycling operation is the one public facility worth naming here. Licking County Recycling is at 295 Wilson Street, Newark, Ohio 43055, with offices open Monday through Friday from 8am to 4:30pm and a line on 740-670-5125. It describes itself as a government agency serving the county's residents, businesses and industries, financially supported by the four-county solid waste district that covers Coshocton, Fairfield, Licking and Perry.
It is a recycling operation rather than a disposal site, so a loaded roll-off container does not go there. It is worth knowing about for the material that should come out of your container before it is hauled, and the staff are named and contactable on that number.
The container itself goes to a permitted landfill or transfer station. The sites serving Licking County are company-operated, so we name none by address. Your account manager confirms the destination for your load and the rate that applies before the container is delivered.
One regional point to be clear about, because it catches people who read about Columbus rules and assume they travel. The central Ohio waste authority changed how construction and demolition debris is handled at its transfer stations in September 2025, sending it direct to the Franklin County landfill instead. That rule belongs to Franklin County and its member cities. Newark is in Licking County and sits in a different solid waste district, so it does not apply to a Newark job.
One practical point for a rental or tenanted property: agree in writing before work starts who is paying for disposal and who is arranging it. It is the commonest source of argument at the end of a job and it costs nothing to settle at the beginning.
295 Wilson Street, Newark, Ohio 43055
County recycling operation with offices open Monday to Friday 8am to 4:30pm; it is not a destination for a loaded container.
Most Newark orders can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window.
Five things that keep a Newark delivery on schedule:
A scheduling note worth knowing: because no bond stands behind a Newark public place permit, a street placement here is faster to arrange than in many cities. It is still not same-day, so raise it at the quote if the driveway will not work.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole of Newark, from the downtown square and the Arcade district out through Cherry Valley, the Country Club area and the State Route 16 and Route 79 corridors, along with the surrounding Licking County communities. We also cover projects out toward Heath, Granville and Hebron. Delivery, swaps and the final haul are arranged around your crew's days on the job.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will confirm how the City's definitions treat your material, size the container to the debris, settle the driveway or public place question, and quote it 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.
Newark pricing runs $399 to $499 on a 10-yard and $699 to $899 on a 40-yard for the standard five days. Weight moves the final figure most, and plaster is the local heavyweight. Your account manager prices the Newark job on the call and confirms the tonnage included.
Beyond one or two loads the container comes out ahead. There is no public disposal site in Newark itself, so self-hauling means repeated trips with a charge at each arrival, plus fuel and your own time. A container is loaded once over the course of the job and hauled once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard unit, leaving a mattress, a dresser and boxes to fit around it. On a Licking County house clearing the room is gone long before the tonnage is.
Liquids are out, and so are paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals and pesticides. Refrigerant appliances, fluorescent tubes, batteries, televisions and computer equipment need their own routes. Asbestos needs licensed handling, and ten or more tires trigger state rules.
The 10-yard at $399 to $499 is the lowest price, and on a narrow downtown drive it may be the only unit that fits. It is the cheapest option only where the material suits the unit. Loaded with plaster, brick or sandstone it reaches the weight allowance quickly.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the nights on your driveway. It is tonnage, not time, that changes the total. Your account manager confirms the tonnage in the price and the rate beyond it.
Lumber, plaster and lath, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, porch material, siding, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout debris are all accepted. Clean concrete, brick and sandstone are fine and travel best on their own. Tell your account manager about anything unusual before it is loaded.
