At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Northampton, Massachusetts, including the village of Florence, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes near downtown that need new kitchens and roofs, student move-outs, estate cleanouts, and a steady run of residential and commercial construction keep containers moving through the Pioneer Valley.
Your price comes down to the container size, what you're throwing out, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load ends up. Below you'll find our price ranges, the City's street permit, what Massachusetts won't let you throw away, and where your debris goes after pickup.

Here's what moves the price of a dumpster in Northampton.
Start with the size. A container that holds the whole job in one haul is almost always cheaper than a small one that needs a swap halfway through.
Weight is next. Plaster walls, slate, brick, and old roofing are common in the city's older houses, and they get heavy fast. The more your load weighs, the more of your tonnage allowance it uses.
Sorting matters more here than in many states. Massachusetts bans a long list of materials from the trash, including brick, concrete, metal, drywall, and cardboard. Wood is banned from landfills rather than from the trash altogether. Mixed debris still has to go through a facility that pulls those out, so a clean load of just concrete or just brush can cost less to handle.
Street placement adds a small cost. If the container sits in the street or on a sidewalk, the City's Department of Public Works charges a $25.00 fee for its blocking permit. Most driveway drops don't need it at all.

Think about how much you're tossing and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for a bathroom gut, a basement cleanout, or a small patio tear-out. Heavy debris like brick and concrete should go in this size, since it reaches the weight limit before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or attic cleanout, a roof on a small cape, or new floors in a few rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Northampton for a full kitchen remodel or a whole-house cleanout before a sale.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits big renovations, additions, and new home construction, where a lot of mixed debris piles up.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Contractors use it for commercial jobs, demolition, and large property cleanups.
Narrow side streets and tight driveways are common in the older parts of town. Your account manager can help you match the size to the job and to the space you have.
If the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you usually don't need a City permit. Things change once any part of it takes up a street, a sidewalk, or a parking space.
For that, the City of Northampton's Department of Public Works issues a Sidewalk/Street Blocking Permit. The City's permits page lists it with a limit of 30 days per permit. The application asks for photos or a sketch of the area, the dates and hours, how people will be kept safe, and how foot and car traffic will get around the container. It also asks for an insurance certificate.
You email the application to the DPW, then pay the fee by check by mail or in the lock boxes at 125 Locust Street. The City reviews permits on a rolling basis and warns that delays happen, so apply well before delivery. If the container will use metered or marked parking spaces, you also need to contact the City's Parking Department.
For questions, call the Department of Public Works at 413-587-1570. If you aren't sure where your lot ends and the street begins, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most household and building debris can go in the container. The limits come from the state's disposal bans and from the rules at the facility that takes your load.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection bans many items from the trash. The list includes asphalt, brick, and concrete, clean drywall, metal, cardboard and paper, yard waste, car batteries, old tube TVs and monitors, and large appliances. Mattresses and textiles were added to the list in 2022. Wood and whole tires are on it with a limit of their own, since both are banned from landfills only.
That doesn't mean all of these are refused in a dumpster. Many are sorted out and recycled after pickup. It does mean you should tell us about mattresses, appliances, tires, and electronics, since they're handled on their own.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are never allowed in a standard dumpster.
If you're not sure about an item, 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.
Northampton runs two transfer stations, but both are only for residents with a yearly City permit. The Locust Street site takes bagged household trash and recycling. The Glendale Road Transfer Station at 170 Glendale Road, Florence, MA 01062 takes bulky waste, furniture, appliances, tires, mattresses, and construction debris from permit holders.
The bulky waste gate on Glendale Road opens on the first and third Saturdays of each month, 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. It also opens on the first Monday of every other month, starting in February, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The City's Solid Waste Division answers questions at 413-587-1570.
Dumpster loads don't go through those resident gates. They head to a licensed transfer or processing facility instead. The state's list of active facilities includes a privately run transfer station at 234 Easthampton Road in Northampton, which is permitted for up to 150 tons a day.
The City also requires every large load to be covered or contained so nothing falls onto the road, and anyone hauling trash for others needs a City permit sticker. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going before delivery.
170 Glendale Road, Florence, MA 01062
City-run bulky waste drop-off for Northampton residents with a transfer station permit.
In most cases, we can get a container to you within one to two business days, arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a blocking permit for the street, give yourself extra time for the City's review.
A few tips to make delivery easy:
The City's bulky waste gate is only open a few days a month, so a dumpster is the simpler way to handle a big project on your own schedule.

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 dumpster in Northampton runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Heavy debris and items that need special handling, like mattresses, can change the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
The City's transfer stations are only for residents with a yearly permit, and the bulky waste gate opens just a few days a month. For anything bigger than a small load, a dumpster usually costs less once you count fees, fuel, and your own time.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for chairs, a table, and bags of junk. Furniture is bulky but light. Mattresses are handled differently in Massachusetts, so mention them when you book.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Massachusetts also bans car batteries, tube TVs, and large appliances from the trash, and it bans whole tires from landfills. Mattresses, appliances, and tires can often be handled separately, so tell your account manager about them first.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you put in it still matters. A small container full of brick or plaster can go over its weight limit, and keeping clean concrete in its own load can make it cheaper to handle.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price each job as a whole, so the weight of your debris affects the bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the weight allowance and the charge for extra days.
Furniture, flooring, drywall, lumber, roofing, cabinets, and general household junk can all go in a dumpster. Items on the state's ban list, like metal, cardboard, and clean concrete, are usually sorted out and recycled after pickup. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
