At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Nicholasville, Kentucky, and the surrounding Jessamine County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Nicholasville has grown fast on the Lexington edge, so new residential construction off US-27 and East Brannon Road runs alongside a steady run of kitchen, bath, and roof work in the older neighborhoods near Main Street.
Your price comes down to the container size, the weight and makeup of what you load, how long you keep it, and where the load can legally be taken. Below you'll find current ranges, how placement works here, what the county site will and will not accept, and how fast we can deliver.

What you load matters more here than in most towns, because the local disposal site is picky about material.
Size is the first factor. Going up one size costs less than booking a second haul when the first container fills early.
Weight is the second. Shingles, plaster, and tile are dense, so a small container packed with them can weigh more than a large container of cabinets and trim. Describe the debris when you call and we'll size it to the weight, not just the volume.
Material type is the third, and it's the one that catches people out in Jessamine County. The county site in town takes construction debris, drywall, carpet, wood, and metal, but it charges by weight at $100.00 per ton with a $15.00 minimum on small loads. It will not take concrete, brick, blacktop, dirt, or rock at all. A masonry or soil load has to travel further, which shows up in the quote.
Rental length is the fourth. Nobody in Nicholasville publishes a day limit on a container, so the clock is between you and us.

Start with volume and sanity-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container and the right pick for dense material. A single bathroom, a small chimney tear-down, or a load of broken walkway all suit it, since heavy debris reaches the weight limit long before the walls fill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen gut, a cleared-out garage, or carpet and padding from a few rooms. It gives real extra space without much more cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is what most Nicholasville homeowners end up with. A whole-house cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a standard roof replacement lands here comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new builds, and light demolition. When the job throws off a mix of lumber, drywall, siding, and fixtures, this is usually the right call.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. Contractors use it for commercial work, large tear-downs, and warehouse clearing where volume is high but the material is fairly light.
Between two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they'll pick for you.
On private property, no permit is needed. Your driveway, a private lot, or a job site you control is between you and Prime Dumpster.
Nicholasville publishes no dumpster permit and no container permit for its streets, and no right-of-way permit that covers one. What the city does have is a rule making it unlawful to deposit garbage, refuse, or waste of any kind on any public way or public place in town, with a narrow exception for goods set down temporarily in the normal course of trade and cleared within two hours. For a container that will sit for days, that exception is no help.
The local solid waste rules add a condition for commercial sites. A commercial container has to be stored on private property unless the owner has written permission from the right agency to use public property, and the spot has to be a hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, at least eight feet square, well drained, and reachable by the collection truck. A gravel or grass pad will not satisfy that on a commercial property.
For questions about a specific spot, call the City of Nicholasville at 859-885-1121 and ask for Public Works. If your frontage is on Main Street, US-27, Richmond Avenue, Maple Street, North Third Street, West Oak Street, Jessamine Station Road, Catnip Hill Road, or US-169, those are state-maintained roads and the state highway office at 859-885-4611 is the right call. Send your account manager a photo of the spot and they'll help you find the right contact.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine. The real limits here come from the county site that receives the load.
The county center refuses concrete, brick, blacktop, dirt, rock, household garbage, liquids, and anything wet. Used oil goes to the county road department instead. That refusal list is why a masonry demolition load and a drywall load are not the same job here, and why we ask what's going in before quoting.
Hazardous waste never goes in a standard container, and the local rules say plainly that the public collection service will not take it under any circumstances. Wet paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and automotive fluids all belong in that group, along with asbestos.
Medical waste has its own packaging rule locally, so it can never go in a container with other debris.
Tires and appliances are accepted at the county center but each one carries its own charge, so pull them out and mention them when you book rather than burying them in the load.
If you're unsure about something, 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.
Nicholasville's public trash service covers everyday household and business garbage. It does not cover project debris. The local solid waste rules exclude bulky waste and construction and demolition waste from what the service collects, and they bar both from the public containers outright. A roll-off container is the normal route for remodel and build debris here, not an upgrade.
Most separated loads from Nicholasville go to the Jessamine County Recycling Convenience Center at 123 Hendren Way, Nicholasville, KY 40356, which is run by the county's Environmental Services department and sits inside the city. It takes construction debris, drywall, carpet, wood, metal, furniture, couches, mattresses, appliances, electronics, and tires. It's open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and closed weekends, and everything has to be weighed in by 3:30 p.m. The site takes checks, money orders, debit, and credit, and no cash.
Masonry, soil, and mixed household garbage are not accepted there, so those loads go to a permitted landfill outside the county. Your account manager confirms where your load is headed and what the disposal charge looks like before the container is delivered.

Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with everything weighed in by 3:30 p.m.
Most Nicholasville orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking two or three days out gives you the best choice of times and a buffer if the weather turns.
Five things keep delivery smooth:
Remember that the county center closes at 3:30 p.m. and doesn't open on weekends, so a container filled on a Saturday will usually be hauled the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Nicholasville and the nearby Jessamine County communities, from the blocks around downtown and Maple Grove out to Brannon Crossing, the US-27 corridor, Wilmore, and Keene. Whether the job is a bathroom remodel in town or a new build on the county line, we coordinate the drop, the pickup, and the disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, sort out where it can sit, and tell you what the disposal side will cost before you commit.
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 Nicholasville runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Where you land depends on the size, the weight of your debris, and the disposal charge at the receiving site. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
One pickup load is cheaper to haul yourself. Beyond that, a container usually wins. The county site charges by weight with a minimum on every load, closes at 3:30 p.m. on weekdays only, and turns away concrete, brick, and dirt entirely.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills the volume well before it reaches the weight limit, so overage charges are rare on a furniture load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos have to stay out, and so does medical waste. Locally, concrete, brick, blacktop, dirt, and rock are refused at the county site, so they need a separate load. Mention tires and appliances to your account manager when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. It's only the cheapest result on a light load, though. Fill it with plaster, tile, or shingles and the weight allowance runs out early. Keeping dense material in its own container usually works out cheaper.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price covers delivery, the rental window, and the haul rather than a daily rate. Weight moves your invoice much more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Wood, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, carpet, siding, trim, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, metal, and general cleanout material are all allowed. Clean concrete and brick are allowed in a container too, but they need a destination that accepts them. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
