At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Oxford, Mississippi, and the rest of Lafayette County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Student rental turnover near the University of Mississippi, new building on the edges of town, and a steady run of kitchen and bath construction work keep containers moving here all year.
Four things drive what you pay: the size you pick, the type of debris you load, how long you keep the container, and the cost of tipping the load at the county transfer station. This guide walks through those costs, the rules for placing a container on a City street, and the items our drivers have to leave behind.

Pricing in Oxford moves with four things you control and one you don't.
Size is the first one. A larger container costs more at the start, yet it often costs less in the end, because one right-sized haul beats two trips with a small one.
Weight is the second. Shingles, brick, and dirt are dense, so they reach the included tonnage early. Keeping a heavy load on its own helps you dodge an overage charge.
Trip length is the third. Oxford loads are tipped at the county transfer station just east of town on Pea Ridge Road, then trucked on to the regional landfill in Pontotoc. That second leg is part of the disposal cost, and the facility sets those fees rather than the hauler.
Placement is the last one. A container in your driveway is simple. One sitting in a City street needs a permit first, which adds a step but no mystery once your account manager walks you through it.

Match the container to the volume and the weight of what you're clearing out. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, and the jump between them is smaller than most people expect.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits one room at a time: a single bathroom, a small deck tear-off, or a load of brick and concrete. Dense material belongs here, since the weight limit arrives long before the walls fill up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the middle step. It handles a two-car garage, a porch rebuild, or the old carpet and pad from a few rooms without the price of the next size up.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one we drop most often on Oxford driveways. A full house cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a standard shingle job all fit with room left over.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for the big jobs: a gut renovation, a new home build, or a rental property turned over from end to end. Mixed debris stacks well in a container this tall.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial tear-downs, apartment turnovers near campus, and plant cleanouts all call for this much volume.
Still weighing two sizes? Your account manager can look at the job and point you to the cheaper of the two.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Oxford doesn't ask for a dumpster permit. The rule changes the moment any part of the container rests in a City street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way.
The City of Oxford handles that through its Engineering division, which sits inside Development Services and approves every right-of-way permit in town. The form is the Application for Permit to Install Privately Owned Facilities Upon Municipal Property, linked from the Engineering page. It asks which side of which street you're using, what you plan to place there, and a drawing of the spot.
Two details catch people out. The application has to be notarized before the City will take it, and it gives the City the right to tell you to move the container at your own cost. Neither one is a problem if you file early rather than the morning of delivery.
The City publishes no fee or review window for this permit. To ask about your block, call the Oxford City Engineer at 662-232-2306. Your account manager can also track down the right contact and tell you whether your spot is private ground or City right-of-way.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, furniture, and general cleanout junk are all fine. The short list of refusals comes from state rules and from what the receiving facility will take.
Mississippi bars a permitted landfill from accepting hazardous waste, anything with PCBs in it, free liquids, loose asbestos material, and whole tires that haven't been cut or shredded. The state rules from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality apply to every load that crosses the scale, no matter who hauls it.
Car batteries have their own rule. The same agency confirms that lead-acid batteries are banned from landfill disposal statewide, and the retailer who sold you the new one has to take the old one back.
Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, and pressurized cans stay out as well. The City's recycling program lists local drop-off points for used oil and auto batteries, and it takes up to five gallons of oil per visit at each one.
Appliances and tires are usually billed per piece instead of by weight. Tell your account manager about them when you book, and the quote will hold.
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.
Oxford hasn't run an open landfill in years. Loads from the city and the county are tipped at the Lafayette County and Oxford Transfer Station, at 55 County Road 3067, Oxford, MS 38655, out on Pea Ridge Road. Lafayette County publishes its hours as Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
From there the waste is loaded into trailers and hauled roughly 30 miles east to the Three Rivers Regional Landfill at 1904 Pontotoc Parkway West in Pontotoc, which the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality lists as the permitted landfill serving this part of the state. The same site in Oxford also holds the City recycling center, open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Both legs of that trip carry a cost, and both are set by the facilities rather than by us. Your account manager will tell you where your load is headed and what the disposal charge looks like before the truck rolls.
55 County Road 3067, Oxford, MS 38655
Open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most Oxford orders go out within one to two business days, and the truck arrives inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving us a few extra days helps on two fronts: permits have time to clear, and early bookings often price better.
A few habits make delivery day easy:
Timing matters at the far end as well. The transfer station is open weekdays only, so a container filled late on a Friday generally waits until Monday for its trip to the scale.

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 Oxford runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and what the county transfer station charges to take it both move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate on the quote call.
Hauling it yourself looks cheap until you count the trips. Every run to the transfer station costs you fuel, a tipping charge at the gate, and most of an afternoon. Once a job fills more than a pickup bed or two, one rented container almost always wins on both money and time.
It will. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture runs out of room long before it runs out of weight allowance, so the small size is often enough.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, loose asbestos, and car batteries, which Mississippi bans from landfills outright. Whole tires are also refused unless they've been processed first. Appliances and tires can go separately for a per-item charge, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The catch is weight rather than size. Fill a small container with brick, tile, or wet dirt and you can pass the included tonnage quickly. Splitting dense debris into its own load usually costs less than one overloaded haul.
Three days and five days generally cost the same, because the price covers the haul and the disposal rather than the calendar. Weight is what shifts your invoice. Before delivery, ask your account manager how many tons come with the container and what each extra ton adds.
Nearly all household and job-site debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and yard trimmings. Clean brick, block, and concrete are welcome too, and they often cost less when they ride alone. If an item seems borderline, your account manager will check it before you load it.
